After a long tough winter I was finally able to take the box of pay that Kevin sent me and classify it and pan it.
This winter we set a new record for amount of snow in the Boston area, over 108 inches. The cold and damp and bad weather wrecked havoc on my knees, in fact my doctor at the VA insisted I take a handicap placard. I hate to but there were many days that I couldn't go to a store because I couldn't park close enough. I don't see any stream work for me until I get new knees.
But that being said I want to thank both KevininColorado and OKBassPro, they very graciously sent me some paydirt from their claims! I worked Kevin's today and will be working Jeff's this week.
First I classified the dirt, using a 10,20,30,50 classifiers and then panned each mesh. I figured to do that so I wasn't dealing with different sized rocks. I think it worked out pretty good.
ONE QUESTION, if I classify the dirt at 50 mesh (after it dropped through the 30 mesh) is gold that is on the screen of a 50 mesh screen a -50 or +50 (I have no idea)
Anyhow, Here is the gold that I found, I am so excited! I don't know what the weight is yet, waiting for them to dry to weigh them.
Once again, Thank you so much for your kindness! And quite honestly I would be happy to pay for pay like this!
