But I get frustrated because I feel I know so little about what the real item would look like, lots of very pretty stones though! I think today I actually have a few real Flakes?? I did this in Alaska and have some flkes from there, but it is even more exciting here, Coos Canyon is beautiful!!! I love gold panning-actually any outdoor activity, one in water is even better.
