Such a sweet spot Charlie is awesome for letting us dig there. I will move anything he wants....He said that that goes back 66 feet. It was really solid looking the Portal needs some loose slate removed. There are more in the area and some interesting history. That river is known for its plentiful flour gold not to mention its crossing the mineralized zone repeatedly so nuggets and pickers are to be had as well. Good day except I felt a cold coming on after a ridiculous work week she got me..I had to go dig of courseLooking forward to digging more......total bummer some moron forgot to put the intake hose in the truck.
No prob AU, hope your foot is all good for the weekend buddy!
Goldwasher and I went out to the property this last Monday. Planned to highbank but GW's pump intake was MIA... We found more good looking slate to work in the flood channel and ran our bazookas. No pickers this time but we both got some decent color for the amount we dug. We took a look at the mine.. A squatter had abandoned camp on a flat spot in front of the mine so we cleaned it up and hauled a bunch of crap back across the river so Charlie (landowner) could get rid of it. Appreciate you helping out with that GW.. Charlie was stoked we took care of that for him.. Glad you got to check the place out and get some digging in. Thanks again GW.. awesome day

@ Takoda I worked 61 hours from Wednesday to Sunday....loaded my truck in the dark left the intake hose sitting next to the garage....got everything else....@ Mojo....Yes on the GB and Vacuum job.....Bummer from initial sweeps it seems the old mine buildings that were there burned or rotted as there were nails everywhere and not square ones its gonna be a layer by layer process. The good thing is that I found several pre '80s era pull-tabs and lead so it hasn't been detected.... detected well at least
. ............. Hopefully anyhow .
