    Use a cement mixer that has a rubber drum with the paddles removed. A guy in LA uses one to recover fine gold with mercury and this way you can go through buckets of materials every 24 hours.

    Claims::: Claims, if fees not maintained expire. Once a claim has expired it is open ground. Also the claims have specific site markings which have to be maintained. You need to read the mining laws a little better. There are records online of all the claims and their descriptions and whether or not they are active. I believe it is maintained by BLM and is online. You can call them and ask them and they will tell you how to access the records. The records cover all minerals from rock and gravel to sites like the copper and coal sites in all states. BLM and the state have specific mining and claim laws and requirements. I have read down through some of the information here have found a bunch that at best I will call questionable. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND CARRY A COPY OF THE LAWS WITH YOU. You can reach out to the BLM land in the capital of what ever district and they will help you..... If you serious, suggest you get the paper topo maps of the quads you are interested in. I have a very old computer mapping set which will show the section lines but it is no longer being produced. Suggest garmin on a tablet is about the best you can do now. I am sure there are other mapping programs out there. I use the Topo 10 and the onX maps for travel occasionally you can find topo 10 on ebay

    Hey, have you taken a look at the Kenny Veach Mineshaft? It looks like it’s possible he was attempting to re-timber it in order to explore it, and compromised the integrity of the soil. It’d be cool to get your opinion on it.

    • @turtleclubmanager
      @turtleclubmanager 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There was wood inside of a side shaft that looked newer than the rest of the wood inside, and two natural cave ins within the last ten years or so. It would be worth the excavation if you think it’s a reasonable theory.

    When tapping the pan, letting it rest against your chest defeats the purpose of walking the gold. Hand at 9, and tap at 12 and gold will pile at 10:30. Resting the pan at 6, just scatters it.

    Dinosaurs are made up due to large DRAGON like fossils found and needed to sugar coat the meaning of life somehow by making up a silly story millions of years ago.

Bible mentions dragons over 20x and ZERO about these phony compassionate mind bending reality of dinoville.

    Removing the black sand from ultra fine gold is easy. Instead of trying to snuffer up the gold , tap the pan, get all the gold around the rim and then snuffers up the black sand. Ad you rinse down the sand, remove it instead of the gold. Keep tapping the pan to keep the gold at the rim

    The old mine cart upside down was missing an axle, most likely a wooden axle, and from what I can determine, the box down the hill side was the top of the same cart. The mine cart box on its side, with the wooden box inside it, looks like it would make a really cool place for a wild animal to raise some babies, out of the sun, wind and rain.

      @@Matt_the_Miner Seasonally, the odds depend a lot on what animals will be in the area and reproducing, naturally. But it certainly looked a lot like a nesting box for a large bird, a rabbit, or a fox, because, as I own a farm, deep in a lush forest, I have seen all of the above, at one time or another in my life. But then, I also have a large vein of minerals under my land, and some day hope to be able to sink a shaft and check for silver, as some really large silver deposits were reported in my district, about a century and a half ago.
