Davin, congratulations, I think you will love it. Today I received my first bazooka. Within an hour I was at the stream. Conditions couldn't have been worse the water was really high and I couldn't get to any of my favourite spots, in fact the only place I could set it up was right beside the bank and the water surged a lot. 2/3 of the time the top deck had really good flow then 1/3 it had no water. The bottom chamber remained 98% under water all of the time. And the only place I could dig was below the water line on the very edge of the stream. BUT I still got a good showing of gold when I cleaned up!!!
Total time on the stream today was maybe an hour, and actual digging time was 30-40 minutes!




So even if you don't get everything just right I think you will still get gold.

Enjoy your Bazooka!

Gerald

Enjoy your new Bazookas! The gold will come much more quickly now!

In reference to my picture, does anyone know where I can find a smaller coin so the gold looks bigger?.........

just put in the washer with hot water and directly into the dryer like the girls do with their blue jeans to make their gold look bigger!!!

You just need a smaller pan!

But you are going about that the wrong way--just get bigger gold in the first place!

[Lots of luck with that in Denver; I guess you know that and hence the request for a smaller coin...heh, heh. I do have an old German 1 pfennig piece that was the standard Germany "penny" before the Euro. It is about 1.7 cm diameter vs. 1.8 cm for the dime, so your gold would grow by about 6%!!]

Love it!
I'll be looking for a metal one!

I just ordered a 24" Sniper yesterday.
Can't wait to get it. I feel that is going to be a Prospecting MACHINE!
Far better than prospecting/sampling with just a pan and a classifier.

Now we just need water here in So Cal. so I can use it

You're gonna love that Sniper! We have the 36".
What, you want a metal, mini pan? I might be able to do something about that.

 

[Mountain gold]

Ha, I love it. I do love the sniper. I just need the stream to calm down a bit so I can run it. Just finishing up on a small Miller table to get the really really fine gold out of my cons.

Do tell, do tell Mr. Lens.
Web site you can direct me to maybe?
Thanks, yes I do want one.

Really looking forward to getting the Sniper and hitting the streams.

Try akmining.com and search for "classic steel". A popup menu will show them sized 5/8" and larger.

I actually don't know where you could get it them retail, any mining store that carries Jobe, perhaps. Can probably mail you one. LOL, Mr. Lens would be my husband .
