First run with my BAZOOKA!!!!!!!

[b.jmining530]

Well when I used mine it sorta was submerged a little. I had to move into the deep water to get the right flow. But I was not able to set the rocks up just rights to where it was set up "perfect" but I would put the material as far back on on the bazooka so it would have the lights floats away and gold fall towards the middle . I was thinking for a stand getting some 1 inch square tubing and getting some 1.5 in tubing with thicker walls so I could wield so angle iron to it for a base for the exit end of the sluice and then drill holes so I could put a bolt through with a wing nut on the other side and then for the open end of the sluice box wield some more angle iron to make a channel to slide the wide end into . What do you guys think?

When mine was under water a little I was because the feather river rose out of now where

The Angry River

 

[b.jmining530]

Dang thats crazy!! The feather river only rose up a couple of inches. But I was already waste deep, and that extra 2 inches was making it a little hard to stand still in one place

Side bar---ive only workedmiddle and north fork american. Looking to hit bear river next near colfax...

Is Feather river All that I hear it is??

 

[425jesse]

Wow, look At all that bedrock!

 

[b.jmining530]

I am not sure if it is or is not I just started prospecting , but I posted a pic if what I got in a couple of hours from the feather river in the Yuba city area

 

[TheGoldProspector]

That rocks! Awesome job I must say. i am new to the area, so I am working near old claims" my great uncle has told me about all his life..

Just an interested soul passing by.

Thanks that was my first time sluicing and using my bazooka . I would like to try the feather river a little closer to home in oroville. My buddy told me about a place where there are some ancient dredge holes that are pretty close to the river.

 

[b.jmining530]

Where are you located at?

 

[TheGoldProspector]

Dredge holes can always be quite promising. Never look over the archaic* wisdom-
As for the bazooka, the best of luck to you. Not that you will need it, from what I have read on this site and others, it is the sluice to get..

Right now I am near Sacramento, Ca. Driving fwy80 up the hill

They work submerged?
COOL!!!
I could set it up in the Smith river (past kick butt gold producer & no sluices allowed..) and it would look like I was just dumpin' shovel fulls of dirt in to the river!
Does the forest circus & BLM question sanity?
HEH!!

 

[b.jmining530]

Well are you GPAA member? They have a claim up off of 80 in the placerville area . Maybe we could check it out sometime. And as far As the bazooka goes I could not be happier with it !!! And you always need some luck when finding gold

 

[TheGoldProspector]

I have been to a few gpaa claims recently, and yes...i must say they have All held potential.

 

[b.jmining530]

What claims have you been to, and what do you think of them

 

[IdahoJake]

I've decided to see what all the commotion is about the BGT...so, I bought the 36" Prospector. It'll be here in a week and then I'll take it up on one of my claims and run some dirt through it. Looks like it'll be a great prospecting tool.

You will not regret it, absolutely great sluice.

It would have been nice if my GGGGrandfather had one when he came out to California in 1849. The inheritance would have been huge......
