Great mother of gold. I about passed out when you did that snuffer dump. It shows me that if I keep at it and prospect everywhere I can a see some real weight without going out west or Canada it achieve these type of results. Congratulations Mr Hendrix. I been working around the church and things are going decent around a point for every two buckets with small rough pickers with little chunkies. Nice video thanks Lee
Thanks Kevin. I took a leap of faith that your creek would offer up some gold like that when I bought the dredge. I guess it has begun to pay off in a round about way. 😀
Hey you have two pans now I see, I squinch when you shout off your motor , when you slow t down you change the pressures in the box it can pull material out from under the riffles you can see it looking at your box. Just kill it all at once the pressure just stops. may help ya good looking spot for 4 hours! WTG Lee!
I don't think so. I was seeing a lot of fines in my box upstream from there and then when I moved to that spot the gold got really coarse. I think the hydrodynamics of that spot may have "classified" the gold to be bigger there. Who knows though?
@@LeeHendrixGold With such a high velocity of water, a narrow sluice, & no second screen, I'm surprised to hear you were seeing a lot of fines. And with you finding small pieces down the sluice, it just feels to me that the gold is having a hard time to settle down. I really liked the camera detail under water, I played some of it at .25 speed & swear I could see small gold at times. All in all a decent vid & I'd think that sluice box out a bit more, trying to slow down the water but still getting the big rocks out. You could always put some 1/4 inch screen flat over the nozzle too, if you don't mind leaving rocks and won't lose track of where pay dirt has been sucked up already. Cheers
Yep, Retirement is within reach! I can say I have NEVER had a 3.6 gram day. You have a long way to go to clean up that bedrock area. Bring an extra 5 gallons of gas, peanut butter and jelly and get to it.
I will be continuing with the cleaning process early tomorrow before the water gets clouded upstream. I could see cracks in the video that should still hold some decent gold and I have brought my snorkeling mask. We shall see if there are any klunkers still hiding!
