Sherry launched a PM your way. Check and see.

GMojo, I didn't get it... ?

GMojo,
Is it the one that has the Subject "NF Answers"? That's the last one I got. Been crazy busy and haven't responded yet.

[FONT=.HelveticaNeueUI]I received a message from a fellow prospector, that has become my mentor, asking me to come over to visit that he was cleaning out his garage and he had a few prospecting items that I could have. Not expecting too much I was completely caught by surprise like a child on Christmas Morning when gifted the following items... I am grateful! [/FONT]

Wow!!!!! Sherry you are set! I see more than you need. A little bit of craigslist magic and you have funds for a bigger better bazooka. Keep that blue bowl and finishing table for sure.

Heck there's more stuff not pictured and he said he may have more when I come back home.... Not sure I can take anymore though. I had to build shelving in my little 1 car garage just for that.

I'm keeping the tent heater for sure! Gonna be using that in about 2 days. Whoot! Whoot! Are you gonna be able to make it out to visit us with GoldenMojo?

So how does that sands concentrator work? You ever used one of those?

I think your friend has/had a problem How many odd shaped pans can one guy use? Bet those ammo boxes were to hold all the gold. Her's a vid for the Quicksand

I guess that after years of the fever that trying the next new gadget can add up.

Wow! Your graciousness pays off, yet again my dear..

The quicksand concentrator is a fluidbed ...conceptually similar to what happens in your Bazooka Sniper but recirculating at home. Lots of new toys to play with; I say figure out which ones work for you and sell/give the rest to someone who will enjoy them more.

 

[KiddoTheMiner]

a couple settling buckets with the quicksand cons and you might be able to run recirculating In the SoCal dessert.
from my knowledge that's where the gold is

 

[Sideways Sherry]

Good idea Kiddo, I'll look up more info on that because dry washing sure is dirty/dusty!

[TheGoldProspector]

I just couldnt contain myself - I had to go out to the NF AR to mix it up before YaAll got there late yesterday(happy Day od Thanks by the way)

Good news, I sampled much, and found more larger pickers in 3 hours of sampling than ever before-so RSM, I cant wait to see what gold Finds You.
Heavy Pans guys, and ladies. Sorry I couldnt make it out this meetup, I swear its eating from the inside out Not to go.


May Peace Follow Your Travels

Sherry I had an absolutely fantastic time with you, Nick and SEF yesterday on the North Fork. You guys were a blast to work with and funny all day. You ever need a job as a ditch digger I think I can find you some work.... I have never seen someone attack material like that. Hope ya'll stayed dry through the rain last night. Hope to see you again soon.

[TheGoldProspector]

Real sorry I missed out. But being my birthday today, and still on the clock...Maybe I will be right behind you, crevassing the Big Gold!

Awesome! Can't wait! If you can talk GoldWasher and AUFisher into coming that would be cool too! Ugh! I'm dreading the cold... The first phase of our group headed up on Monday wants to stay at Mineral Bar with no electricity or water but I'd like to stay where there's at least electricity so I can put a heater in my tent. I have a 15 degree and two 40 degree sleeping bags inside one another and I still get cold in low 50 degrees WHILE SLEEPING IN MY CAR! LOL!!! Whatever will I do to stay warm at 40 degrees or below in a huge 10 person tent with no heater? In the rain nonetheless. Yea... I'm kinda whining! LOL!!! ;-)

Boil water and put it in a Nalgene bottle. Put the bottle in your sleeping bag either by your core or feet. Wrap it in a tshirt or something first or you'll burn any exposed skin. This trick has saved my butt many a time!

That's a great tipTGL, I've been doing it for years up here in the far north and you are right it can turn a crappy night in to a good night sleep. In the winter when below zero I use two!
