Its hot now !!
we switched up to night mining to deal with the heat n bees !!!
im still gun shy from that bee attack last year!
And still havnt been back over in that area, and theres gold to be had over there!!!!!!
we are working two areas right now a drywash diggings, and a little pocket we found last year, we are doing some finish up work on the pocket,
managed to stretch it out and found another pay zone, I will work a pan later today and get a pic .
I have a whole day of samples to crush n pan. im thinking I got this one cleaned out maybe one more day?
Dry washing the rest of the week, only got a few weeks left till the rain ?
working a saddle that I have a hunch might kick out a nugg or two, I found some chunky stuff there a few months back, now we are going to dig in and see.
might find a vein here, as the crumbs im finding are crystalline.
Pics are of the vein, notice how well defined it is making it easy to follow, it has a strong hanging wall, make it hang in place, I dig along the slip were its easy, I can get down next to the vein leaving it in place till I get the trench deep enough. Then I break out the bleeper and see if we are lucky and hit course gold, I use the old gold bug turn up the sens, go to no motion, and with any luck I get noise and the hunt is on. veins like this can give speci gold, that's why I dig the way I do, don't crush the Purdy stuff.
I have the small oval loop and run it along the length of my vein, marking the spots where I get noise, as those are my pockets and they go into my high grade bucket.
