Thanks for that , I was unaware . Never the less , we went into one of our claims to gather up things from our sluicing operation . It is in the N.F. closure ( monumnent fire, missed our claim by about 1/8 mile. Big new dozer line there on a claim now also . ) We drove through and passed a...

I contemplated just that . Then I went to gravity sluicing into an above water sluice ......BUT .... I could see incorporating both together. There might be advantages to it .......I just have not proven it .... yet ; ) I just hate hand shoveling . I like using water flow to accomplish both...

So I was going through a couple of bins of misc. parts that I got from Hoser John . In the bottom of one I found about a cup full of black sand and leaves and dust and dirt . I thought to myself .... might as well pan it out . Glad I did. It kind of got my springtime juices flowing ; )

A friend and I purchased 2 claims from John a while ago . Over the weekend we bought some mining equipment from him . John really is a legend in this addiction that we all have, which is gold mining . Many here probably know him . I have learned from him in person and by searching some of his...

It looks like you are close to a main vein based upon the gold's appearance ! Not super smooth .......... Just a thought ................ I would love for you to find the source......

I purchased a couple of claims from John a couple of months ago . Without getting too personal here ..... He is struggling some from some physical ailments but was in good spirits generally . He sure LOVES mining : ) I gained some great info from him for sure .

Sounds kinda squatchy to me .......

I think I would have soiled my britches !!

I used to live just upriver from Kernville...… I have seen some ok reports of digging and sluiceing where the kern river dumps into Lake Isabella from locals . Its right near the location of Old WhiskeyFlat township exsists . Be prepared for fine gold . That is all that I know . I grew up...

This is not the America that so many have fought and died for...…………. : /

Clean those bedrock cracks and show us !! That was a great start . Im in Nor Cal too. Doing my own thing …. trinity co. I love to see the things you are finding . I have arrow heads …. oh and a lil bit of gold too ; ) My friend metal detected an apparent old Chinese gold mining camp...

Good point . Using the pulley calculator , I think I will choose to run a 4 inch motor pulley . This will give me an 1150 RPM compressor RPM . NOT running max rpm makes good sense .

Thank you for that . It will come in handy !

Im generally not a huge fan of Harbor Freight stuff but the name brand "Porta Power" tools get pricey...

After just a LITTLE BIT of chin scratching......I may have answered my own question . I realized that the motor has 1750 rpm........the T80 wants 1800 . ..... so a one to one ratio pulley system ( 6" on both ) should work fine. Guess Im a fart smeller too ?? So I guess what I'm sayin' …… I...

I am planning on putting together an electric driven Hookah breathing air system . I have a Standard T-80 compressor off of a Keene 4" . I have a 1-1/2 H.P. electric motor that I want to couple it to . The the engine on the Keene 4" ran at a rated 3600 RPMS The Electric motor that I have...

Lets just cut through the crap and Get Gold . ….. I will. And Am . Legally ; ) So Be It . Wiggler .
