I Pre-Screened My Material To 10 Mesh Today

[John-Edmonton]

Health advisory out to stay indoors due to heavy smoke from many fires around the area. I went out and purchased a couple of N95 masks so I could breath safely. I shifted gears a bit today. I pre-screened my gold containing gravel down to 10 mesh, which took me about 1 1/2 hours for 3 x 5 gallon buckets. I then set up my California Mini highbanker, ran it with less angle and less flow due to the 10 mesh feed. It was really relaxing for the next 1 1/2 hours to feed the highbanker. I just sat on a bucket and fed the highbanker. It also took about 30 minutes to feed each bucket. I did 3 clean-ups and was really surprised at how much gold I got. Life is good!

Well done on the clean up, makes for a worthwhile 3 hrs. Looks right pretty in the pan.
I have heard it's not the greatest air quality out there, they say it might be going on for awhile yet.

There is talk about it going on all summer. Mother nature is pretty unpredictable, so we will see what she throws at us.
