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!
The season is starting well , may your summer be rewarded with lots of shine ✨.......Thanks for sharing 👍 with us 🇺🇸...
It's always an honor to share with you guys!

Yessir! That's some rich pay and gotta get it off the rocks too 😊
Good for you, Lee!
I hope to see more videos like this from you.
I certainly would love to share some more multi-gram day totals! Regardless the weigh, it's always a fun way to stay active 🙂
You work hard for every speck. It's nice to see you have a great day. You deserve it!
Thank you! I was lucky and finally hit a sweet spot. I hope I can find another one 😊
Nice clean up for sure Lee thanks for sharing PPO out 😎
Yes, it proved to be the richest pocket I have ever come across. I hope there's more to come 🤞
Nice job Lee! 💪🏻👍🏻✨️⛏️
Thanks PaPatriot! I guess it's true about the size of a hose and how it's used. 🤔🤣
wow..congrats. looks great.
Thank you!
I'm carting a brand new 2.5" Keene dredge, now, Lee; just looking for places to use it 👀‼️👌
I'll put in a good word for you with the mine boss ⛏️⛏️⛏️👍
@@LeeHendrixGold why, Thankee, Lee!! Sometimes that's all it takes👀‼️👍😎
Great spot, coarse gold AND you can drive right to the water… what the heck !?!
IKR? I'm like a kid in a candy shop!
Impressive!!

Thanks for the advice Keith 👍
Dope!
Thanks VM 👍
Loosing a lot of fine & superfine gold? If so then some adjustment & strategy is required, yes?
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?

3,637 grams, woo. 👍
You forgot to add in the .3 picker to that total (but who's counting) 🤣

Tomorrow will be a 5 gram day. I would collect the cons in one of those special pickle buckets and process the cons at home.
