Default Concentrated fun

Hi all. Had fun panning out some concentrate with my five year old. A few good pickers and lots of flakes. Great way to kill an afternoon off.

Thanks guys! It was just some Alaskan concentrate that my son and I panned out. I can't remember the brand right now. But I remember it's the one that sends out the free samples. I'll find out when I get back home.
