That wooden structure you eluded to at about 4.50 minutes into the video is the remains of the Wiffley Table that once sat at the base of the stamp mill. It's flipped upside down now. It was used to separate the gold from the waste rock.
@ 6:00, the equipment looks like the remains of an old horse drawn Fresno Scraper! They were initially use for digging canals and ditches so i can potentially see it being fashioned into a mucker of sorts! I used one on the family farm across the Columbia river from where you're at when i was a kid!
Around the corner the the right of the one on the hillside there is more, has to be crawled down into due to the back fill, but there is a winze in it as well, with tracks going over it. Might be worth a look. 😊

It's funny you bring that up. As I knew that was there but I didn't want to just take a wag at that being it for sure. Thanks for clarity on that.
Nice seeing a stamp mill of this age still there great explore on this adventure thank you for the tag along .⛏️🤔
Yes, it is great to see it still there in that condition. Thank you for the comments. We are glad to have you along.

Very interesting and cool. Thanks for sharing. we appreciate the watch and comments.
Did you guys happen to find the one with the cart tracks still in it?
No, we did not. I have been to that site 4 times in the last 12 years. And there is not one open that has tracks in it.

@tha420jesta Interesting wonder if that was a later undocumented working. We will check it out. Thanks for the tip!!
That last entrance was
Really small. 👀
Is that the type of stamper they would use to extract gold ?
Yes, that would be the type for a smaller operation.

Maybe our approach is to have fun, try to share some history and interesting places, and wherever it goes, it goes. Appreciate your comment.
