Have had a great start to 2014 ! Recovered some good AU, meet some good people...even found a new spot or two.

Hope everyone else is doing the same....

Here's my 2014 total so far...no weight yet, "hope" is 3 - 4 Grams ? Proably a little less :dontknow:

If you don't mind me asking how many buckets.

So hard to say... I have a hard time keeping track of the # buckets ea trip....
BUT, I "think" this is around 8-10 trips. (have a journal at home & keep some random notes, trying improve that, I'll look tonight)

Most of those were 1 day trips, couple were overnight.... One of the last times I went out w/ my brother we managed about 25-30 buckets in a day and a half, but that was working around the high water mark. Farther to move material to the sluice.

We have done 50+ in a day, but that was only moving the buckets about 10 feet to the sluice. By mysleft, I do less than half that.....
 

ALewis,
Thank you for sharing, nice pile of color!.......................63bkpkr
 

Looks great! Funny how brains, friends and perseverance leads to success!
 

Thanks for the info. I was just curious. I am trying to up my production but between classifying and lugging it to where I can process its taking along time.
 

Nice gold, but sounds like a lot of material moved for the amount recovered. Hopefully more will come faster as you expand your area. Dennis
 

You are off to a great start. It only goin to get better...
 

Gold in the pan! Can't beat it.

All the best, and thanks for the share,

Dude! Great job, that would be a great take for that much work in the creeks close by here! Keep it up!
 

Like it . :icon_thumright: Thanks for the pics .
 

Wow, Thanks for the encouragement.
I am new to this and figured I would need to process at least a hundred buckets a day just to find a little color. 10 - 50 buckets makes me feel better. lol
Great start and I hope my start into this venture is even slightly as good.
