Just got done with our mining season in the western US a couple weeks ago and back home. Normally we dredge with our 5" extended box dream mat dredge, but this year we got a 7 yard/hour trommel out to the claims and going, but no excavator to load it until next year. The hopper on it is above head height, so shoveling by hand is a nightmare lol! The water is so low when we're there in the summer all the best cobble bars are high and dry. Just have to hope the exploratory mining permits for non recreational mining and the bond come through without being too insane. brought the hopper home to buy metal and weld up a grizzly system of some sort still and waiting for new electric pump, a 2" Honda pump wasn't quite enough alone for the wide dream mat dredge mats were running. Seemed to figure out this year the best gold is under the biggest rock bars, absolute worst stuff to try and dig. I had to break it up with a garden hoe and pull out big rocks and make pay piles to shovel in. We've been trying to hit bedrock in the rhyolite canyon for many years with the dredge, but have never found it up to 15' below the bottom of the creek, through 10+ feet of hard pack, the top like iron concrete you have to hammer through and use high pressure water blaster to chip through the hard layer. The mini excavator that can reach down like 8' should help. Had a few groups come visit this year, one with our speed bankers in the week each got like 3g of gold or so, the other with hand tools and stream sluice but there a lot longer did about the same. It's the desert and high elevation so no one is shoveling for more than a couple hours at a time. We never get rich since all our equipment was being carried down the side of the cliffs by hand until making friends with the rancher with the only possible access. Just have to help with a cattle drive and fix some fences and we got to bring the camper right down to the creek down from the bare lava desert the federal government just stripped of all trees ruining our camp site. You're the channel that introduced me to dream mat many years ago when it was new, and now know the guy who makes it in the US. He was out to the claims not this summer but last.
