This Year's Raffle Prizes -
posted May 18, 2009.
Hello all, Michael Brick 'ways and means'.
Just letting you all know that Bull creek outing is very near and I wanted to
post some of the raffle stuff we have rounded up, and these are just some of the
items that will be raffled off. I hear that the 'vac pak' (with hose
attachments and 2 cycle oil) will be raffled off at one of the outings later
this season, and also Don our UPI President has other vendor donated items that
will be raffled off along with some real nice gold nuggets that will be
part of it all.
Items in the picture are: vac pak, grizzly pan and gold miser mini plastic
sluice and mini metal sluice boxes, one that is regular creek water to run
through or one that can be set up to have a garden hose recirculation pump to
work, pistol probe pulse pin pointer, books on how to and video's that are from
Dave McCracken, scoops and digging tools and pans and a bunch of other stuff.
Oh, and I'm donating a home made gold dowser rod that has 2 gold nuggets and a
red ruby and red garnet inside and it works too. So come out and dig for
gold and check out the UPI news letter and help support our vendors that really
donate the items and make a lot of this happen for our organization.
Signed, M.Brick

April 4th & 5th, 2009
- Bear River Outing sponsored by the UPI Contra Costa Chapter
What a day it was! You
know it's a good day when everyone goes home with gold. Thanks
to all the folks that came from the Santa
Clara and Stockton UPI
Chapters; other areas of UPI, the GPAA members, and others for joining us at
Bear River on
Saturday. I never got a final count, but, there was about 40+ folks and
about 15+ sluices in the stream in one area about 20x20 and also folks up and
down the river. Over all it was a great success for UPI. Thanks to all
for helping out some of the new folks. Sorry I had to leave so soon but needed
to take care of some business. I wanted to stay all day & night!!!!!!!!
Don't forget to bring the
Gold and
your stories for show and tell at the next meeting. (April
16) Thanks again for a very enjoyable outing. Ed Ozga, Contra
Costa Chapter Chair
