It is still…Happy FLOOD GOLD season!
The heavy rains in the west have left some golden reminders behind, we are getting reports of flood gold being found in the aftermath of the high water. The floods have moved gold from higher up in the watersheds, and has re-deposited it in the newly reformed river gravels and bars. It’s always a great idea to check some tried and true spots where you found gold before after high water because there’s a good chance those places have been replenished.
What better way to get out there and find some new flood gold than to take some PLP Grand Raffle prizes you won to try out? New gear works the best when you’ve won it! And hey, an ounce of gold donated by Roger Plata would be great to practice panning with, right? Imagine a whole ounce of gold in your pan… hey even a half ounce would be super cool to pan with, and that’s also one of the prizes PLP is giving away, along with a bunch of mining equipment, a New ’49ers LIFETIME membership and even a mining claim in the California Mother Lode! You can’t win if you don’t enter, so we’re making it easy for you by giving you a dozen free tickets with your new or renewing single PLP Membership or TWO DOZEN FREE TICKETS with every new or renewing family membership! We normally only offer this deal at the gold shows, so this special offer is good for the month of April.
