Not much interest in rusty rocks the cows are cleaning off the ground for me the white rocks are quartz. The big brown pieces come out of the cows.

Ditto on The MD-20:icon_thumright: it has paid for itself (over the years) many Xs

So, I finally crushed a bucket of the cow pasture rocks and we have gold. This is from the top of the hill so not rolling down from anywhere. Now if I can just find the vein:metaldetector::dontknow: a five-gallon bucket plus a few loose rocks produced a little over 4 grams of gold. I wonder how many buckets to the ounce? or ton lol excavator time just to poke around. I forgot I started this post.

Walking by the garbage cans I spotted a couple small pieces of float to grind. I wired the jaw crusher with an on/off switch and tried it out works great and safer. The chains in the mill are just about worn through and not getting the powder I would like. I panned the grindings out of the chain mill and now have garbage can gold. I see an excavator in the near future lol. Small little bits and flour gold a lot of oxidized material red mud in the pan.
