Gold Rush Alaska

Yes used to get a little more but no more dredging in California.
I think there trying to save some frog or something

State Game Warden almost shut these guys down for running a trench off the creek to their rig. They had to block it off and use a pump with a screen to get water into the retention pond. Warden was worried about the salmon fishery and young fish getting into the dug channel. Valid complaint I suppose. I would have thought that these guys would 've checked into that along with any water rights issues before firing up the backhoe.
