Western montana gold hounds ?

I'm in the bitterroot

I TRIED to break the screen out and couldn't. So that means no more buying shitty bucket screens for $20-$30 apiece that are made from shitty brittle plastic. If these ones break I go home and make a new one and they cost about $1.75 each

 

[jasobdb]

I like that I'm gonna make one for sure

We were screening to 1/2" and about 5 gallons in less than a couple of minutes. It would work amazing with your cut in half drum, fill with water and spin that bucket.

That's awesome I'm Always looking to save time and back pain

Hamilton

My father in law said he used to do a bit of panning and sluicing in that area. I'm not very familiar with the area but I will ask him where he used to go. We do end up in Seeley pretty often as that's where he lives now but other than that I don't know any of that country

 

[jasobdb]

Oh that would be awesome I have been out a bit but really haven't found much at all

 

[jmy74]

Did you happen to download that digger map app that was mentioned earlier in this thread. We have used it a bit. It has lots of info. I also have a couple really neat books on montana prospecting that I could attempt to email to you.

 

[jasobdb]

I did download that app and it seems very informative and I sure appreciate all your help you guys have been awesome

Got out today lots of black sands but no gold

 

[dashriprock]

That happens. Some days are diamonds...some days are just rocks. At least you got out and looked for it. Sunny here today but chilly.

 

[jasobdb]

Lol well put and yes it was fun to get out and test pan

 

[jasobdb]

Still waiting on parts but got what I have together

[jasobdb]

Wow that's a really cool site

 

[jmy74]

Just read about it on here a few days ago thought I would share. I wish I could give credit to those that created it but i can't remember what thread I saw it in.

 

[dashriprock]

Looks like its coming along nicely. Can't wait to hear how it works once you get the rest of the parts.

I run into just black sand all the time around this area. It's going to be nice this weekend I'm going to a spot on sat to clean out some culverts and hit some cracks. I have been there before and have found some color. If you want any suggestions on places let me know.
