The first Hinckley meeting was held on August 16th @ 3pm at the Brown
Pavilion at
West Side Park in Hinckley, MN. Five prospectors showed up and we got right
into working some material that John Wilkus brought from a gravel pit in the
south. This material contained a lot of fine gold. We also spent some time
getting to know each other and discussing our experiences.Future outings
may include two different gravel pits. I am working on this now.
Our next meeting will be held on September
20th @ 3pm at the West Side Park, Brown Pavilion.
Everyone is invited to come. Be sure to bring your pans and other gear as I
almost have it set in stone (pun intended) that we will go to the quarry on
Highway 48 I just need the final OK.
I look forward to seeing everyone there, until then, may you find
lots of yellow gold in your pan !
