I rigged up some wash stations on my pontoon. We dive on top of a ruby / sapphire mine, filling five gallon buckets with dirt. Those on board lift them up and then wash the gravel to see what they find. The wash stations worked great but lifting those buckets was tough. Going to try this again with smaller buckets or a powered lift. The lights are 12 vdc and a generator powers the water pump.   |

The old mine is under a lake.
Yes, it would be a cool outing. The lake is in NC. I will post some pictures of what has been found there later today.
