The Northern Indiana guys are planning an open outing at deer creek campground near Delphi for May 2nd if anybody is interested. I have heard conflicting reports of what the gold is like there but I saw some pictures on facebook recently that made it look pretty good.
Randy, we bought loads delivered by a front end loader/backhoe, about a yard each, I was told. You can highbank the beach or dredge the river for less $. There is probably a lot of crumbs left on the beach from guys like us.
Loads here were $50.00. I heard Lucky strike down the road was $35.00 and the gold just as good, but we stayed here because the cabins were available.

Me finding gold instead of printing Tim's shirt order.
Cabin was $50.00 a night. Very Clean.
You can rent these Trommels.
