Gear list?

[TintedSnow]

So when you go out for a day of prospecting, what do YOU bring? I bring my sluice, pans, gear box with snuffer, trowels, buckets, gloves, boots, gps, maps, etc.

Chainsaw, two #2 shovels, sucker tubes, extra spare tire, .308 during buck season with appropriate gear, comealong, handyman jack, towstrap and length of 5/16 cable. Gosh, there is more, but after all it's the change of seasons here in Oregon and the time of year when I can get out there!

My trailer is ALWAYS packed with everything I need to get out! And I mean everything! The trouble is , now Im beat up and finding it a lot harder to do this and may have to give it up and sell it all! My fiends refer to me as the rolling hardware store! When I used to go out , it was to far to turn around and get something that I forgot or need. 16 hours one way is but a short trip to dredge with good friends! And NOW we are getting old and slowly dropping out!

Me also Russ as one hitch and away we go. Over 6" of rain and 75 mph winds here in Redding yesterday and now the next 2 days brings in the BIG ONE ..John

Hey John...... I've got some plans for a combo Ark/Dredge if you're interested. Sounding like ya might need one here soon!

 

[russau]

Years back Bill Brew came up with a idea of using the pontoons off a house boat to build a real nice dredge. Now that all you see on Bering Sea Gold. But its been in my (small ) brain ever since of building one to live on and merrily go up the Misery River or the Mississippi River and dredge as I go! Lots of sand permits BUT no other types that I could find. Makes me start thinking of a 6 inch dredge with a remote tv camara...............and a BIG cooler of liquid refreshments!

The ol' Mo & Missipi has many treasures as the coarse has changed by miles throughout history in 100s of areas. Many years ago a farmer uncovered a settlement and found some righteous artifacts and coinage also. Can't wait to see you on discovery channel Russ John
