Prospecting old tailings pile part 1 - video!

[AU79 Prospector]

Whats up guys! I just posted my next prospecting video for anyone thats interested. On this video and the next one I am currently working on, we run tailings from an old hard rock mine from the 1800s... clearly their fine gold recovery left something to be desired as I found a nice amount of fine gols (Again this is Virginia so a nice amount of gold for MY area =) I hope you all enjoy!

Nice! Thanks for the vid!!!

Were you classifying the material before running it through that sluice?

 

[IMAUDIGGER]

I ask that because you might be able to significantly increase your recovery by skipping the classification and using the saved time/energy to run additional pay material.

 

[AU79 Prospector]

I don't classify (but try to remove the biggest rocks like 3+ inches) The gold hog piglet is designed to run unclassified material... Because I run it with a battery though, the water flow is a bit less than ideal so I have to manually clear the grizzly bars which is slowing me down. I am working on some modifications to add one or two addition 1250 gph pumps /additional tubing to hopefully improve this issue.
