Thanks guys,
I used this stuff to dig a hole 32 foot deep 5 foot wide about 20 foot long solid rock all the way I called the mine the school teacher.
Its located on the ridge up above the mission mine dale mining district riverside county Calif.
Underground Explorers - California Mine Exploring this site has done an excelent job of documenting old mines if you havnt seen it youll like it
well they have pics of the mission mine 600 foot deep.
We did a bunch of assesment work at this mine and the surrounding claims for years.
Thats how i got to use the betanomite, at that time it could only be purchased overseas.
this was great stuff I had been beating my head against the wall for a while jack hammering on solid rock.
then one day my partner brings this stuff up. we were able to make short time of the rest of the dig.
Its a little tricky to use but it works great i only have about 5 charges left and had no idea where to get more.
thanks for the info.
we used an electric jack hammer.
And a hilti hammer drill 1.5 inch drill bit 18 in long
I put in some pics of the mine, some guy with the fcm miners club, found over a hundred ounces on the surface , 2 nuggs, 1- 6ounces, 1-7 ounces for over a pound in two nuggs.
I dug for a little over a year and found maybe 2 pounds. the pic with jackhammer had 6 ounces in the vein above the tool,the vein is plainly visible, i was so busy chasing bleepers
Straight down i didnt know it was there until swung my coil past it on accident.
that day i learned a valuble lesson, to check my hole carefully always, i left that vein exsposed for weeks. and no one found it.
Cpt Herb
