So Im going to buy a bazooka

Looks like a great mod Tweeta Bear :icon_thumleft:

I made a shorter version for mine year before last but also extended the slick plate and then added a fold out wing dam.
Since then I have removed the wing dam due to lack of expected performance. (It needed a bottom like yours)
Thought about adding a snap on vinyl liner to the bottom of it but never did.

Tweeta, that looks great. You measured perfect followed by some nice work from that shop. Time to get it in water! Hopefully you can get a video of that thing in action. I need to see this in action in case I need to build one when I get mine. Haha
 

i was thinking about I70 and youngsfield since ive never been there before... if not ill probably be over there just south of evans.
 

Both good spots so yes, try Youngfield. Walk upstream at least several hundred yards and dig IN the creek; get down a foot or so into the black rocks..that's where the pickers are!
 

I have never had any issues drilling ABS, test a scrape piece you have left over. Drill a few holes than smack it with a hammer, drop toss it across the garage. I don't think you will have a problem.

You've gone too far to turn back now, just measure twice and drill once. I would put two 1/4" holes on each side, one 1 inch down from the top and the other below the slick plate an inch up from the bottom. Use wing nuts on the outside to make diss-assembly and re-assembly tool-less.

What!? I was expecting great stories of success! You could always flip it over and use it as a hood scope on your truck. ;)
 

no it didnt stick out of the water kevin, with no stopper it seemed to sit pretty still in the river. maybe i just didnt get something right. ill try again. has anyone ever seen "The Red Green Show" could you imagine my white truck with a black hood scoop held down with ducktape? lmfao but never the less i did still recover some gold today... about the same as have in the past.
 

found this on the deck of my sluice... not sure what it is. tryed to put a pic but it wont let me. as soon as its going again ill post it.

Cool old Chinese (or Japanese) coin I'd say.

It's a Chinese coin. Normally held in your pocket for good luck. Put a magnet to it. If it's anything, it's probably brass.

A lot of 10 of these is going for $2.60 on ebay.
