At my claim that is lol. fresh air, Birds singing, River running softly and hell yes came away with some Gold. I sluiced for a couple hours yesterday and came away with 20 specks. My buddy and i are going to spend a couple days on the claim and see what we get after 16 hours of straight sluicing. Will post our outing next month. Stay safe everyone and good luck in the field.

Good for you for getting out while you can ! Us F.O.G's gotta sit it out and watch the net for you guys that CAN get out and enjoy ! Keep safe !

Is that a dream mat sluice? or did you just buy the mat and put it in your own? How do you like it?

And nice color! it all adds up!

 

[Mine Shaft]

Hi Sunshine, i bought the mat and put it in my sluice. I like it a lot. I could see fly poop size gold and it stayed right up top lol.

Be safe out there. Outside work's gate is a large back county ski and snowboard area close to a major city. Our semi parking which turns into "recreation" parking has been packed more so than usual. The wife who's a nurse and I have mixed feelings about doing higher risk recreation these days. Her hospital is starting to fill up with COVID patients and coming in needing a ventilator or other major medical attention because you ran out of talent on your snow mobile or ski's is being some what selfish. I know our local 4x4 recovery group has been super busy plucking people out of the mountains and seen a big increase in calls. I'm by no means saying don't go out just go extra prepared and attempt not to higher risk things aka take the easy line instead of the roll over line in your jeep or now probably isn't the time to try and muscle a 2 ton boulder out of the way.

I do take extra care now after a 80lb boulder almost landed on my head last year. The place we prospect on the River is about 200 yards from where we park its all good.

Being a " couch potato " seems tobe the "in" thing tobe doing right now!

 

[Boarteats]

Lol. Did same myself! Yard, not claim, however. Not all gold though. Half is still TBD.

 

[Mine Shaft]

Hi Boarteats, not to shabby from your yard you say good luck on the rest. That looks like one dam good Gold catching pan lol.

 

[Boarteats]

Hit and miss. That was a hit.

Most of my glassblowing business tanked because of this virus stuff giving me time to get ready for my future self isolation plans.

Looks like you may need another set of drums up front depending on the motor.

 

[N-Lionberger]

Honda GX200 IIRC with a 2x2.5 DK Nugget pump. I have 2 more of the drums I'm going to stick in there.

 

[Reed Lukens]

Wow! Nice, hot water and everything

Might be the time to do a little dredging while the wardens are quarantined!

Not in the picture I have a PCA10 I'm going to put on there, the cops are pretty non existent, kids drag racing the 101.
