Bringing out the big boy

[M.E.G.]

Got a waterfall hole to explore. Depth unknown. The 4 is not cutting it, to much rock chucking/handling. This outta speed things up. 2 eighteens with 4-3 pumps.

Who in the Hell is the guy holding the other end of that thing?

From the pics, it makes sense that the bottom would be loaded with debris as it resembles a constantly running or flushing toilet. Good luck!

My apologies to those wanting to see video, I do have GoPro footage of the progress being made, but no where (YouTube account, etc) to post/link to.

IDK, maybe cuz I'm tired but don't those pics look a lot like a bucket dredge Either way..I like it! Maybe a little more info too?

Well, we're outta there, for this year. Claim holder's increased regular day job demands cutting into the working time, and a few weeks of mid Summer's heat (100+) bringing with it low water flow. Low enough the 'Big Boy' (8") had little to adequately work out anymore overburden without instantly clouding up the pool. All that as we were just starting to see some bedrock along a couple of the edges.

So tune in next season...
