So hard to say... I have a hard time keeping track of the # buckets ea trip....
BUT, I "think" this is around 8-10 trips. (have a journal at home & keep some random notes, trying improve that, I'll look tonight)

Most of those were 1 day trips, couple were overnight.... One of the last times I went out w/ my brother we managed about 25-30 buckets in a day and a half, but that was working around the high water mark. Farther to move material to the sluice.

We have done 50+ in a day, but that was only moving the buckets about 10 feet to the sluice. By mysleft, I do less than half that.....

Thanks for the info. I was just curious. I am trying to up my production but between classifying and lugging it to where I can process its taking along time.

Nice gold, but sounds like a lot of material moved for the amount recovered. Hopefully more will come faster as you expand your area. Dennis

Wow, Thanks for the encouragement.
I am new to this and figured I would need to process at least a hundred buckets a day just to find a little color. 10 - 50 buckets makes me feel better. lol
Great start and I hope my start into this venture is even slightly as good.
