Pics from blue bowl

All right here is the -30 mesh that came out of the blue bowl. This is some gold from today, Caminochaos and one of his friends and myself set up the hillbilly deluxe highbanker and moved some serious material for about 5 hours. Had some serious fun shoveling gravel and B.S.ing most of the day away!! Here's the fine gold take. Gravelwasher

Gravelwasher P.S. will get a picture of it with the plus 30 gold later. :thumbsup:

When my brother and I went the first time to use the new hillbilly we cleaned up after 4 hrs and lost about 15% of the gold. This time we were cleaning it once every hour and lost 3 or 4 specs.

We moved a lot of dirt. One person shoveling and one person cleaning the hopper because its so small. With 2 people shoveling it was hard for the hopper man to keep up. At the end of the day we had a good clean up.

We haven't hit bed rock but we moved some pretty large rocks about 2' down so we should be getting close. It's very compacted so if we follow that layer our cleanups should be consistant.

I was at the dentist getting a crown put in and showed my doc a vial of gold and he said it looked aw some through his optics, not sure what type of scope he was wearing. I know what you mean about subtle differences in color and appearance of the gold. Thanks for checking it out!! :hello:
