Didn't think you were looking for iron. But it's like going fishing, you really want to be catching. You get what you get,

As to the other points and question, they are outside of my knowledge base.

Good luck and enjoy your search.

Found this guy belly-up in front of my dock 2 days go. Looks somewhat alive turned right side up. Made a few bucks a summer 65 years ago getting up early to catch them and sell them to fishermen.

I believe "my" crayfish is a victim of violent wave action, but neither turned up as a meal for fish nor fowl. I wonder why, as they both made it to adulthood.

As for the huge mix of lakeshore gravel, nothing has turned up as magnetic, and a sluice should turn up some "gold dust". I'm going to spend the winter with my collection of PVC fittings, and flow some lakewater through whatever gadget results.

And then NOT tell anyone what I find, because visitors could set up "perfectly-legal" shop in ankle-deep water!

Hey, Aps, maybe you could resurrect the old mill around the corner, make it look original, and hide a sluice box within. Everybody would be happy to see the old mill back in play, but wouldn't know you had a sluice inside. Just a thought!
