Had a fun time at our local Gold Prospectors Association of America Chapter meeting last night in Grovetown, GA. 

We brought in a gas powered rock crusher and everyone brought some rocks to crush. Then each person ran their paydirt through a Multi-Sluice and panned it out. 
Several folks had some small gold in the pan. 

However, I couldn't help pranking one of the newbies who dutifully brought his small bucket of crushed rock to run through the multi-Sluice. 

While he wasn't looking, I slipped in a small bottle of rich concentrates with some nice gold in it just to see his reaction. 

It was priceless, he was so excited when he saw the beautiful gold in the Washer Mat of the Multi-Sluice! 

After a minute or so I had to tell him what I had done. We all had a good laugh and I let him keep the gold, but the excitement was still there...seeing gold in the pan for the first time is pretty cool because it comes as such a surprise. 

Have you been surprised lately? Have your Eureka moment with paydirt from our fine sponsors...:-)
