Nokta FoRs Gold, a Gold Cube, 2 Keene Sluices and Lord only knows how many pans....not to mention a load of other gear my wife still doesn't know about!
Coach, drop a private message to Gold Tramp (Herb). He's a great
guy, a damn good miner, and he's definitely the go-to person when

In fact, he still operates an arrasta for his own mining operations.
Looks like wire rope wasn't available in the US until 1840s. Could have been any time between then and 100 years after. Can you find the tin can dump? Those are easier to date.
