Just finished up this trailer that I have been working on. Still have to work on some way to secure some things. This used to be an old pop up camper. It was in to bad of shape to use as a camper so I didn't feel like throwing it out, so I made a few adjustments. Kept the stove and sink so I can still cook and I will just take a tent to sleep in.
This has enough room for both the 2" and 4" dredges and all the other things that go with them. Thanks for looking

Well done man. Nice piece of work. Only thing that bothers me about it is how secure is everything? I don't know about you but I oftentimes end up far upstream (or uphill) from my equipment when I want to investigate something further and then I worry about someone coming along and stealing my stuff. But maybe you already got that covered its hard to tell from the pics.

I've found that most people can't out run a 4000ft per second bullet. That and I have backup, she can be a handfull sometimes.
Thanks for looking!

Great set-up. I like how you kept cook top and sink.
Most of my bullets don't go near that fast but fast enough.
But you have to see a bad guy first.
A dog makes a great alarm.

I am looking at getting a couple dogs, but for right now my loud kids work pretty well.
This is what I like to shoot, very fast, shoots flat, and there's no recoil. Very fun gun.

Yea, those would do the trick.
I see that you are just over the hill from me jog.
Have you tried any prospecting up north here or always go down south?

I spent a lot of time at Quartzville last year and a little over near Sumpter Or, This year I will be working a couple claims that I have, one is down south near Grants Pass and the other is over east near Granite Or,
I will probably still go to Quartzville just because it's the closest and doesn't take me long to get there.
I have done a little looking around this area but not with any luck.
How about you do you do any dredging?

What brand of sluice did you end up getting? Quartzville is a pretty good spot to start out at! Can get some flakes in almost every clean up.
