@@Askjeffwilliams Thank you Jeff, I really appreciate your kind words. I borrowed some of your material from your video, “Why this location is the best place to find placer gold!” Thanks! By far that video is my favorite and I’ve watched it at least 8 times through. That should be on The Discovery Channel. I’m going to try to smelt this ore this week or next. Andre said the lower Chollar mine shafts connect to the Sutro Tunnel and the Combination Shaft, but they have been caved in. Wouldn’t it be something if we could go clear it out. He’s going to be doing some work inside there this winter. I’m hoping he’s going to allow me to help out. I’ll dig and keep on digging 🤣
