Another photo from gold panning adventures, this taken a month after the first one.  As I stated in the last post, this area that we gold pan in has a rich history of gold panning. As you walk deeper and deeper into the canyon that the creek is located in, you begin to find massive piles of tailings left over from the mining. It’s just hundreds of square meters covered in stones. Among these stones are some garbage piles left over from the mining days, and this photo of a pile of old cans is one of the many little garbage spots around the area.
