This was a huge event, lot of gold diggers gathered to get that national championship. I have made few videos from the event and more coming up. Also check out my PHOTO GALLERY for photos of this event. We had a great weather during the competition. Sunny, warm and almost no rain. I had a chance to compete too, in our team up competition for Gold Museum benefit. Our team one, and we had found all the little gold flakes. Thats the way to do it! It was fun to compete too. 

Next years nationals are in two different events, part one is in Kurikka, at the same time as Ostrobothnian championships. In kurikka there is traditional pans and 5 and 3-persons teams nationals. maybe I could compete there too?

Will see you next year!
