Mississippi / Missouri River's

[russau]

I know there's precisions metals in the Mississippi /Missouri River's (I got some !) and "if" I were to get a 10 inch dredge I'd need a crew of like to assist me in using it on these water course's during the Summer's . maybe a week at a time ? No drunk's , no drug's , honest and all must be determined to get the gold ! I would need 2 divers (scuba qualified )and 2 deck hands . I'd like to rent a house boat to tow it up River and to house the crew while out for the week. What else should I be concerned or look into as far as contracts and pay for the crew ? This is a inquiry into the fesability of such a venture that I've been thinking about for sometime !

A percentage of the gold for pay would work.

Hey 👋 Russ cat fish Jim here been a long time. How are you. I’m still hitting the Mo river. Found a spot it is a big ,Glacial gravel bar. All round rock up to basketball size. First test pan from this spot I had 30 plus colors. Been going here for the last couple of years. You can only get to this spot if the river level is 11–12 feet. If you ever want to go with me give me a PM. I have been using a 4 stack goldcube tromal with a 4 foot sluce underneth. Using Dream mat. D mat in the cube and micro mat in the sluce. It about a 35 mile run in by boat from the French town ramp. My boat is big and safe and covered. Would love to be a deck hand on your excursions I would help with gas money. Here are some of the pictures of the gold from that spot. Happy pans

If you can get it together I would love to be a deck hand no charge just for the adventure. Me and and two of my good old buddies are on the river about 2 times a week mostly looking for artifacts on the gravel bars. I know every inch of the river from Washington Missouri down to the confluence. Nice to talk to you again. Stay well. All the best Catfish
