@@1ironbelle Thanks Renay, I miss seeing you. When are your days off again. I forgot. We can try to schedule an outing on your day off? Are there any mines close to you? Let me know. I’ll talk with you soon.
How do you go about picking material, from a giant mound like that, to process ? Are there certain types of rocks you choose? Is there a process to it, or is any spot as good as the next ? That was a huge mound ! I appreciate your taking all of us along !!
On this mound I took a risk and got some from the side. I think it was a mistake. The big mistake was that I got too much sand and gravel which caused me to get practically nothing. But the tiny piece of gold was of good quality. Next time I will get more solid rocks and not care about the wear on the chains on the rock crusher. If I’m correct in doing that I should get more gold, but I’m not sure how much I will get. My friend Andre owns the Chollar Mine in Virginia City. He invited me to get some ore from the tailings there. I will find the best stuff there and see what we’ll get.
Hello, this tailings pile was a waste of time. There really wasn’t much gold in it. I won’t be going back there. Thank you for taking time to view this episode, I appreciate it and your comment. Have fun getting your gold 🤗
