    That was really cool seeing all the equipment working together. I think it's fantastic! That Gold Rattler is just awesome. The only downside is you didn't find much gold, but you were catching tiny stuff so you know the system is not losing any! I also think it's important people see that it doesn't always go as planned. Good luck running that pay!

      Hi Chris. Thanks for the kind compliments ! Yeah, I was hoping to find chunky gold in the samples, but that's how it goes sometimes. The Rattler was performing well. After I finished filming, ran 10 buckets of that pay dirt stacked next to the plant and got some nice chunky gold. Also found a small nugget on the caliche too. Best to you Buddy !

    Hi Allan, Gary here, We have a placer claim in Barkerville. We are on Antler creek. This creek has produced millions in the past. Now it takes a lot of work to find. gold. Where we are we get mostly flour gold, with the odd nugget. A couple of things I found interesting was, first was you. I enjoy your enthusiasm and the way you think. I looked at all the different things you have created. The trommel, your shaker sluice and your drill. I will probably copy the sluice and the drill. I am interested in you shaker sluice and wondered how much
    you would charge for one. We have a couple of sluices, but they don't compare with the volume you can get with your setup. Water is not a problem where we are.
    Keep up the videos. Gary Yendall

      @allansgoldmining  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The ground I'm currently working is a placer deposit (secondary enrichment) that runs about 1.7 grams per cubic yard. As a single operator using pick & shovel, it's not that great. However, from a production standpoint it's very profitable. The material is mostly comprised of metamorphic rock and clay. Generally speaking, the district is not very rich. The largest placer mine produced only 1,500 ounces of gold. Largest nugget ever recorded was 7 ounces. Most of the gold deposits are spotty, while low grade gold appears to be sprinkled everywhere.

      Oh, no doubt there's undiscovered pockets out there. I found a little small one a few years ago that yielded 1/4 oz. A backhoe with an auger PTO would be fantastic, but unfortunately would require permits and bonds with BLM. They told me as long as my rig was under 10hp, I didn't need paperwork. So, it's a trade-off. Yeah, always hope to hit the big one someday. Thanks for your encouragement ! 🤠👍
