Winter high banking

[vini]

OK we're tracking down the gold and today we found it but that's another video, maybe, probably won't post that one sorry guys, I might post some pictures tomorrow, we don't want to give away where the gold is in this creeks.

My buddys done a lot of work in this creek this was my first visit and his first time using a high banker so excuse his ineptitude LOL

OH OH today we used the 2" pump n nozzle , pumped everything into 5 gallons buckets then ran a slucie box down stream ( this makes no sense but its a loop hole for the moment) , worked out ok I hate the 2" just plugs up to damn much so we're putting a 3 inch together and splitting a 50 gallon barrel in 2 with an attachment for the hose so it doesn't have to be held, stay tuned

water was about 40 degrees, burning hands all day long..........thank god winters about over..........

Is that Joe Can't tell without his Panama hat, but the ink looked familar. Tell him Ron and Lane say hey. Recognize the creek, but won't reveal. Our club is meeting with someone named Debbie at the Forrest service that covers the Groveland mining district to approve the suction work around. We shall see. Nice gold, keep it up....

Any day high banking is a GOOD day!!!
What engine/pump is he running?

 

[vini]

Yeah that's Joe Ron heh heh i knew you'd recognize the spot, shhhhhhhshhhh

I run a small shindawa with that high banker its plenty of water to run spray bars I think it's 24cc, it doesn't work so well when using a suction nozzle, plugs it up to much.

Joe and his partner got a 2 inch sump pump from harbor freight I went with Joe to California industrial rubber and got all his hoses and clamps for the new setup he bought a 2 inch nozzle from Rick who's making them tomorrow we'll be back up there tearing it up...

I didn't recognize Joe without his hat and wheelbarrow. Mum is the word on the spot. For some reason I cannot see the pictures after the first one, can you repost. Best of luck, it's supposed to get a lot colder and wetter.

Oh Ron good luck with your meeting with that gal, she used to be a little reasonable not sure if they are any more up there, I had a claim in Groveland for a few years and saw one gal with USFS once she just drove threw, we were always cleaning up up there, bunch a pigs camping and living off the roads up there.

Joes set up now LOL yes its gonna be cold tomorrow may hold off a day my map says you guys are gonna get snow tonight YEEEKS
