Sucker Tube!

Last week I tried out the sucker tube and it is awesome!  It does require a fair bit of technique though.  More than once I had to un-jam rocks that got lodged in the tube.  All I need now is a super sluice and I'll be in business.  I'm hoping to see some good color later on today when I go out for some more panning.  Last week it was fun using the sucker tube but it was kind of a bust because I didn't get any gold.  I think the first time in a long time.  Usually I at least get a few specks of the flour, but that's how it is.  The way I see it, it's like fishing some times to land a trophy other times you get skunked.
