Gold Rush Washington Coast

Camping on the Washington Coast...we have been having fun watching and talking to a bunch of guys sluice for fine gold on the beach...
They set up rigs like this, use salt water and run the black sand that was exposed or brought in by the huge winter storms we had in January....

    I have seen someone doing this at Cape Disappointment.
  • Seen folks at Cape Blanco, Or. on the beach doing that a few yrs. ago. Same reaction, didn't really want to talk about it.
