Moving the gravel a ½ mile is a logistics problem—not to mention the old mill was haunted. I'm not quite that dedicated to panning for "gold dust".

Sluices for individual gold-seekers run on the small side. With just a couple of chairs, I can set one up in five minutes. Late in the season, wakes won't knock it over—or me, for that matter.

Here it is, two weeks later, and the "sandpaper effect" still appears below the knee. I might have to wear knee-high boots in the lake—watching the trees turn on Mount Shaw while panning for gold.
