Heavy Rain

[southfork]

Over 8 inches in 24 hrs. my son is sluicing and finding gold I'm waiting until the sun comes out tomorrow. We have major flooding all over the county stay home stay safe. A little pinch from today my son came up looking like a drowned rat. But a good sign of what's to come the flow knocked his feet out from under him and he said his bucket was heading towards the river. Happy Mining

My 5” triple sluice dredge is somewhere downstream in pieces.

My son and me started the new year with some sluicing water was just right in this seasonal drainage. Another day and it will be too low. More rain on the way so a few more days of mining we found a little gold. It made for a great day my wife walked down with one of our dogs so a family outing. The gold was mostly super fine and small all the bird shot we found looked giant compared to the gold. We moved the operation up closer to the house and started finding a few pickers. We are going to try again in the morning but may go metal detecting on a new spot.

Sorry to hear about your dredge!!!!! If I lived closer I'd gladly help you recover your parts and help you put it back in running condition !

Yeah it’s a bummer I had just upgraded to a Honda motor and put a lot of work in on making a really trick swivel nozzle. Anyone have a dredge for sale?

Big rain should move and accumulate gold. If you know the ravines, then you know where to go get it.

Hidden springs placer mine more rain on the way This big pile of pay has gold in it but sitting there all day classifying to run through my sluice is slow.
