I just want to say I have learned a lot from all your videos and can honestly say I have increased my daily averages to over a pennyweight. It is true that you only need a couple of tools and a pan to do alright.

Love your videos as they often show areas that I truly enjoy exploring.

Maybe will run into you this weekend in the area near your more recent vids.

Cheers

One of your best videos ever (and a sweet money shot!). Did I notice that your sucker tool has a see thru capture chamber? Have you posted before about building it or would you now?

Cageologist.. Thanks... I doubt you will see me this weekend as I had a pretty freaking good 2 days and also broke all 4 of my chisels so here I am replacing them probably headed out Sunday maybe Monday. Anyway I hope you do well. Anyway on another note..
I am currently in need of a battle buddy for a day I suspect all day. Want to hike old ditch/trail never ever used anymore. Anyway steep cliffs maybe parts of it missing ect ect. Anyway I am wanting to do this at the end of the month.. Maybe you up for it. Lots of elevation change.

Well every thing is good on my end just busy I suppose. The gold has been treating me well which is nice because as Ned Stark would say "Winter is Coming!!!"... Well figured I would chime in... gotta run some errands.



Let me know if you ever need a battle buddy MM. I'm not the best prospector but I am a good hiker! And you can definitely keep all of the gold found- small price to pay for everything that i can learn from you. I plan on camping somewhere around mineral bar this weekend...hopefully i run into you.

Just as I suspected, a kick a$$ snipers hand dredge! Did you have to custom make that 45 fitting with the skinny input tube and threaded female end which matches the bottle?

Thanks for the video on the hand dredge. I have one I am thinking I can modify, using yours as a guide. Thanks.
