Ba-ZOOK-a! Ba-ZOOK-a!Awe heck guys, that's just the -50mesh material. Just wait 'til you see the bigger stuff!!
Hey sorry to De-Rail your thread, I just realized! Did you get your BGT yet?
uh, thanks. No need to eat crow, just know that short sarcastic comments don't work well here.Ah, Crap! Kevin, obviously has skills. Hah, unless there is some sort of technicality! What is your recommended recipe for a rather "small" crow? as some things are rather intolerant of me.
yup! Good job checking your facts before you dig! Be sure to pack out all the glass and trash u find. Looking forward to seeing how it goes...i checked with arvada planning and development to make sure arvada city has right of way to ralston creek and 95% of it is owned by the city. stopped by code enforcement and the police to make sure there are no special rules/laws to prevent me from panning/sluicing and its a GO!
P70, no worries about it. I have enjoyed everyone's stories and showing the results of their BGT. As for your question, no I have not ordered one yet. I still can not decide between the 36 or 48 prospector, and if I should go reg or heavy weight, I think I've decided on the larger grizzly though. If to much material gets in the trap I just put some wire mesh over the bars to classify it better. Any thoughts.
i think im finally gonna check out ralston creek today! i took a walk down the path a while back and found a bend that got some pretty big trees along the one edge. i believe these trees are at least 100 yrs old.
well still not skunked with my BGT yet... not a lot of color but still color. i was just reading about that coring thing this morning. thats time i could be sluicing... im pretty sure this tree is pretty old.(not the spot i was at today) today i went more towards the heart of arvada. had a home owner come out and ask me not to tear down the damn in the middle of the stream... he said they are trying to oxygenate the water so it dont smell and i told him not to worry i would build the damn up even more... i told him i would fill in my holes and pulled half a trash bag of trash out of the creek... he thanked me and said 2guys last spring came and just sloped the the damn for and aluminum sluice he said. im really hoping that its just cold tomorrow and that the weather guys got the forecast wrong and it dont snow!
Lol this is funny... Super thread robbery. AlaskaGold go with the 36" heavy weight big grizzlies, with good flow no need to mesh the grizzly unless a lot of flat rock is present, and the 36" is plenty big enough to pour buckets and shovel right into it
