Too Much Bedrock?

Not much to shovel here! Back to swimming!

Not much to shovel, but I bet if you went under with some goggles you'd spot some potential crevices and cracks.

...or solid rock...you could try that too...

SNIPEY SNIPE!

Get in there with a mask and clean those cracks.

Have to admit that I'm in full agreement with call to snipe the cracks.

Watched the video that MadMarshall linked to where someone in New Zealand was sniping the
bottom of a set of rapids and just pulled out piece after piece from a couple of cracks in
the bedrock. I was truly impressed.

Going to give it a try next time out cause we have lots of bedrock also.

 

[NeoTokyo]

HA! That's the same video that got me interested in sniping and made me who I am today.
I've linked it a couple times too.

 

[MinerFortyNiner1952]

Yeah, that video inspires you!!

to much bedrock

Check the bedrock out under water. Cracks are good. Be sure to wear booties or water shoes though Aufisher, wouldn't want to ruin that green toenail polish.

Not to jump off-subject, could someone post a link to that video?

 

[NeoTokyo]

Here is the vid BB.

 

[Aufisher]

Gotta get me a mask and some tweezers!!!

Here are some video's from my Channel: CrainRacing - YouTube

I have new video's that I am currently converting taken with a MUCH better camera (GoPro Hero3+ Silver), they should be done tomorrow.

btw, what are those purple/burgundy stones in my first video?
They are super heavy and ALWAYS with the gold up here.
Is it Hematite?

 

[BurntBear]

Um, wow, that's awesome! I don't really know anything about gold prospecting. My partner certainly does and has had great success! The first thing that came to my mind was getting some goggles and looking in the crevices for gold. I guess I was close unbeknownst, lol. Thanks for the vids!

 

[Aufisher]

Dang Neo killer video!

 

[BurntBear]

Dude, get those purple stones and take pictures of them. They look like corundum!

In fact, get all of those stones out and start taking pictures. I'm very curious now.

 

[NeoTokyo]

Thanks guys, but the video quality is horrible compared to the new video's that I am editing and converting right now.

I don't think that they are corundum after googling some pics, but I am going up again tomorrow so I will bring some home to take more pics.
