Hello back Assembler ,
Values ? Might not show up good on my photos but that screen is loaded .
The problem is there ain't enough of it .... that I can get to anyway . At least
for now . This is from a spot I have not even been back to in probably a year
maybe a year and a half . Just got everything I wanted to get and could get
given my circumstances . I move around a good bit to different counties I
have land access in . Every chance I get . Bunch of land I would like to get
on but don't know any of them and have no connection to get on it to do
anything . There is a few big tracts I've paid or bartered to get on but
most people I know come from family ( farming ) or work connections and
it's tough to get permission to do anything down here if you don't know
somebody . Folks are pretty private and protective about their land and I
don't blame them .

My land and family land is all in Saint Clair county . Good farm ground but no
gold . Not that I have found anyhow and I have looked here and there just to
see if there might be something . Just outside the makeup of the right stuff .
Git'n to long here ..... the stuff in this particular screen came out of my store
stuff . It's been busy at work ( power outs ) lately so I just worked some scoops
from one of my cans . I have three and a part 44 gallon trash cans full of the
crush from this spot . Now days I take rock I like down to golf ball size
( give or take ) to look for spec pieces then have it crushed out by a friend from there .
He's the boss at a cement plant and can do a truck load of buckets in no time .
It's not totally uniform but it's good enough to screen . I end up panning of course
and I run stuff on the sluice too , but I like to screen down some of my best stuff to
get a good look of the crushed material . It also gives me a good look to decide if I
want to ball mill it to dust . Now I've gone on way to long ..... my apologies .

Nice...I'd be looking forward to panning that out...:occasion14:

I was able to bring out the gold a bit better:

Dang Dizz ................ that looks better than my pics and I was there .
Thanks for the effort man . Obviously my photographic skills are
lacking . A pic will just never be the same as standing there will it .

That's what everybody is looking for! Any pictures of final clean-up?

Did you further pulverize the material that was panned off to see if additional gold could be recovered.

Be careful as there could be some iron pyrites or other material there. Panning will help separate the good from the bad for lack of better terms.
