Is this real? 1.8 grams per hour with a highbanker in Canada

I showed this to another prospector who's been to that same river and he said it's fake, that Dan Hurd is salting his results to get more Youtube views. What do you think? That's some insanely rich ground if it's true though.

Captian Nemo " ther rest of the stream might produce one to two ounces a day at most. from your lips to gods ears if I could consistantly do that I likely would not mow another lawn again. [grin]

That's what I heard coming from a claim on nearby Peter's Creek. One claim there pulled ~156 grams in a day. A lot of claims just closed there for some reason according to Alaska Mapper. I know there were a bunch of corporate claims there, and a few private. Might be that they had the 2 year prospecting claims that expired. If the creek is still doing that, I'm surprised they're walking away. If they did, there's some good open ground for you up there! When I stop at the recorder's office to precheck my ground, I'll find out why.

Anything is possible I agree but I like to think along the lines of what is plausible personally. 5 ounces an hour!!! What are you still doing here!

Packing for the trip! Hopefully, I'll be on the ground by July 1.

Just wondering how many cubic yards of material goes through a highbanker in 1 hour ? johnnysau

very far from expert but with my boses keene we used to adverage 2/3s to a yard an hour... some 4 years back when I was really gung ho I would say I loaded in 2 cubic feet a minute ( likely exzagerating) but even 6 shovels a minute would be about 60 cubic feet of pay dirt that had been stacked by a back hoe thats two cubic yards and got almost no gold because the riffles were all filled up. the neene is 12 inches wide and I think about a yard an hour is its limit. maybe watch gopld hogs vidies and see what he said about capasoity?

Then going off the 2/3 of a yard estimate, about $80.00 a yard is extremely rich if you have a lot of it being moved with a dozer. Hi banker don't know the answer to that question, depends upon the person i guess. My 2 cents.

I think I would be happy with 40 a yard material. My boss likes to clean out hourly to ssee how we are doing and I workl to run a little longer both because I think it is more efficent and in hopes their will be more gold in the concentrate so he will he happyer. working on my own if I ran 5 yards a day and got 200 in gold I think I would have the world by the tail. then again I am not the best busness man in the world having sold half a cord of wood, at three hours gathering for 15 $

Nice Seafox, based upon my calculations on your 5 yards for $200 bucks, i come up with 11 extremely fine flakes or .13 full grains per 20 LBS of material if i am doing this correctly.
