And the last of it mostly...

This is just the beginning

Why does a guy sluice, but has a 2400 dollar shaker table?
	Gold makes people do crazy things! I seen it all!

No gas to keep buying... Good friends to talk to on a quiet creek in the middle of nowhere.

Isn't also that you can't run mechanical equipment in steam at that spot?

Yep just like the old days of the 49's by hand but no donkeys either thats where Freddie the Bear comes in. Pick & Shovel,pry bars, and come-along / tow straps. Done an awesome job moving material by hand and finding gold. The only time it sucks in our pit is a thunderstorm, all day rain, cold temps.

LMAO... Guys I hand dig big stumps out of my yard with same tools I dig in the creek with; shovel,pick,pry bars, chain saw, and water. Instead of a tree stump, its a huge rock and I do have 4 rocks on my property, that look like some of what we pull out of the creek. One grandpa a coal miner my other grandpa a rock hound, and me a gold miner...hmm family pattern maybe..lol.
Its more than just the gold, its the adventure finding things in the dirt besides the gold..Loki knows from classifier,being where there is no cell service, outside enjoying nature, and watching for snakes.

loki258: Same for the all the boards too, most people are slowing down for the year. Me personally this is my favorite time of year to prospect. Sept 26, 2014 12:30:30 GMT -5

wtigersc7: slow down?? shoot I kept making trips to the camp all last winter, thats why I built my gold re-circulating system so I can be able to run dirt at my house anytime I want in my shed. Sept 26, 2014 15:45:27 GMT -5
