Deep Bedrock Gold

[goldhog]

Well.......... if you want crevice bedrock....... don't come to our property. lol
Roughly 1 mile of creek and every inch of bedrock is 30 - 50" under hardpack and overburden.
Tough going but finely... decent ground this week.
Running RiverHog and the new Talon in both the dredges.
Real happy with the setup.

At least there is bedrock within reach.

Nice Color!

Are you using a blaster to break it up?

No need for a blaster.... strong "country boy" hands and VERY strong suction does the job fine.

A lot of the bedrock we hit is old and buried so it is soft in many areas.
Some I might even call the upper layer of the bedrock saprolite.
