Default Red deer gold prospectors group anyone?

Hello everyone

My name is Fish_guts! Just looking for anyone interested in gold panning, kayaking, fishing, camping, 420 and hip hop lol. I’m down for all of it and none of my friends or family are! I have a kayak, sluice box(river and highbanker). Looking for people to go out with. I’m probably gonna head out to the baptiste river this weekend if anyone is down for some sluicin and fishing!

HOLLER BACK!

Yeah there is quite a bit in the places I’ve been. Some places I would still like to check out. Gotta use a floatation device to get too.

Default Baptiste river

I have been at the Baptiste in the last few weeks. Due to the amount of rain we have received, the level of the water is about 5' higher than normal.
I would say not workable for what you want to do.

McLeod river has decent gold as well as the embarras in Edson area. Both rivers are too high to bother with currently. Agreed that the north sasky is the best but also flowing way too high. Just wish the gold was a bit bigger but still interesting hobby and more than just gold to be found some cool gemstones and other stuff aswell.

They tell me there are actually some claims on the Nordegg river.
