1000 Ounces Of Gold And The Missing Maps

  • I was given old maps from the original owners of my claims and I was seriously shocked when I read what they said. Another step closer to the goal every day of finding where the original gold rush miners of the 1860's left off to see if a fortune was left behind. I this episode we also finish setting up the trommel and fingers crossed we get to fire it up for the first time. We are working through the multitude of tasks that need to be accomplished to start a placer gold mine. We are working late into the wet season and fighting heavy rains and saturated ground making it very tough to work and do what we need to do, however being able to do any extra work at all through the winter is a blessing.

    Soooooo Awsome! I bet my Grandfather had some old maps of the area! My uncle's useta take me dirtbiking up there and my grandfather told me a story once he hopped down into a creek on an old friends claim and showed my uncle's nuggets in 10 mins! He even put them back cause it wasn't his claim! Much respect 🙌 🙏

    'Goosebumps' are so awesome (Frisson》 is something only a percent of people can experience and realize when it's happening for what reason. This story line and video gave me the goldbumps I call them I get them when I watch badass gold content. I listen to the radio more than I watch TV though so that I can have the effect more often as music really does it for me.
