Drywashing gold and video

[Bodfish Mike]

Here is a short video of a gulch I have been working with my homemade Drywasher.(1st attempt at youtube so I hope it works)
Easy digging bedrock at about one foot --- gold is small but it adds up 4.3 grams so far.
Enjoy and I hope that it stokes the fire for ya.
Here's the gold

Here's the video

Nice video-HOT work this year. Saw a pic of Isabella yesterday and about threw up wow what a tiny mud hole. Try using a wire brush on that bedrock and you'll be amazed at how much more gold shows up Lotza luck-John

Very interesting set up, never seen a dry washer before. And REALLY NICE GOLD!! I'm a safety technician so I can't help but suggest that you use some sort of mask so you're not inhaling all of that dust! Thanks for sharing, solid first video!

John thanks for the wire brush tip --- will add it. Yes the lake is at 5.8% of normal so low that I stopped windsurfing and the local economy is hurting big time.

I do wear a dusk mask and try to stay up wind, I'm aware of valley fever.
Had it off for the video.
Thanks
