A buddy and I used my AM Explorer this weekend to test a creek on his family property. This place is not known to have gold on it but there are two mines within 8 miles of it. We were deer hunting and just killing time during lunch. Worked 6 partial 5-gallon buckets and actually found 4 specks. The water was very anemic but the explorer was still able to work with just minimal water and a little patience. Good time was had by all.
My buddy was thrilled that gold was on the creek he had played in as a kid. The luck continued as we were walking back out I shot this using my buckets as a gun rest.
