I was thinking "it's not the destination, it's the journey". Course, I been retired awhile...you'll get the hang of it soon Kevin.
. Alot of folks just go right to the diggin without any explanation to the thought process behind it. I like that you take the time to go start to finish and you showed it ain't always pans full o' gold. This is a good video for anyone beginner or not. Looking forward to the sniping one. I also watched your summer mining video, wish that one was about an hour, love looking at pictures and video from when things were good in this state. There was a group of guys in the early to mid 90's down below an area I've spent alot of time at (BC) that used to chopper in a 6 or 8" and had a crane and winch set up like your pics. There is a rock in the middle of the river on a sharp bend about the size of a small house that they moved there. It's around 2 miles below were everyone parks. Everytime I see that rock I'm still blown away and amazed that a couple guys put that there, the 97 flood didn't budge it. That wouldn't happen to be you guys was it?
