Some more gold from Montana

[davidhorton001]

Hey guys, I got to feed the fever this friday. The gold is in such hard pack its like concrete. Ran the material through my super mini. Had to run my tailings I was losing gold because of the clay I asume. Any hints or tips. My buddy had a Keene 52 and my super mini was faster. Lol. This is from 3 5gal buckets full. Classified to 1/2 in. It was a beautiful day.

Thanks Jim, it has taken a long time to get to bedrock . The dirt is like concrete. It took two people 4 hrs to fill 7 buckets classified to 1/2. The hole is just about worked out. Which means next year I have to open a new hole. So I will spend most of the summer doing that.lol

Maybe puddling and mixing the material in tubs prior to feeding will help.

Good luck.

Deffinelty better to wet the material befor feeding your Zook. Not surprised your mini out worked the a52. It's no contest

Haven't done it myself yet but a paint stirrer in a variable speed drill will do the trick on clay balls. Start slow tho! They don't call it a mudslinger for nothing.

It's so funny watching people's reactions when they see what a bazooka can do. They just can't believe the material it can go through and still catch gold. Thanks for the tips guys
