More testing the trench...

[loki258]

We got back out on Saturday to do some testing of the gravel layer and also tried to see how far to water table level.

We found the water... lol.

We ran about 120 gallons of material through the sluice for about 5 hours.

This was about an average run for a day.

We started on the right side of the trench where I had already found some decent gold in it.

We expanded that side about 7' long and another 2-3ft down.



Water!!!


The 2feet of gravel on top of the decomposing county bed rock.


The gold was also about average for the material moved.

Uregold. We are going to have to take lokie with us the next time we take my monster high banker out. Do you see the size of that hole?? We could just sit around and play cards or something. He may be man enough to run that thing ha!!

[uregold]

I wasn't man enough to run that highbanker lol. its huge!

[noisyboy]

Yeah but lokie says he dug that hole alone at night with a flash light. High banker should pose no problem for him

lol. with a flashlight? lol

[noisyboy]

Yeah you know what I mean. Held the flash light with one hand and the shovel in the other. Not sure I have never seen his flash light. Maybe something new?? He could have used duct tape and them had both hands on the shovel. Bet that's what he did. Still more dirt that I want to move in the dark.
