I wanted to start this thread to get your guys opinion on what you'd buy for a starter kit for the prospector not wanting to do all the manual labor. More importantly to use my #2 shovel on a limited basis. This is just for fun, but lets be economical about it.
I'm thinking for starter u must have a reliable truck. Something that has a good tow capacity with good gas mileage. Maybe a ram Eco diesel. Next, I'd say small mobile base camp. Need a trailer to haul your kubota kx913 & a trommel wash plant & a skid loader. I guess u could get a back hoe to kill two birds with 1 stone, but their mobility sucks when digging. Maybe a atv or utv for scouting. Heavy duty trash water pumps and diesel generator and I think I'd be set for the lower states.
Guess I'd need a good shaker table or clean up tool... That would suck trying to hand pan cons!!! What would you buy? Maybe a drill rig?
