Golden mojo the set up "skills" are coming along I think, it's getting easier because I have been using the bazooka more. Also good flowing water and bigger rocks and little waterfall things are mailing setting up a lot easier. I got the gold out past Bangor ca only drove 50 miles round trip into to boonies. But I still would like to meet up sometime and see how it's done by a more experienced bazooka user !!

Looks very nice. I still have yet to find anything more than a flake. Congratulations!
 

Well I would not have been able to find any chunky gold with out my new prospecting friends from oroville !!! They have been a life saver in teaching me where to look for pickers and chunkier gold. I am wanting to get another bigger bazooka, I am thinking of one of the prospectors but I am not sure which one to get. Is there a really big difference between the sizes, does anybody have some suggestions?
 

Funny you should mention that. I was just looking at picking up one of the smaller prospectors like the 30-36in. Let me know if you decide to pick up one of the bigger units. Depending on the price I would be interested in your old one. That is if you want to part with it. :)

On another note, were the facebook folks you met on the group locals?
 

I would love to get another bazooka so my 30 inch sniper would have a friend lol!!! And the people met on Facebook live like 15 minutes from my house.

Same here, I have the 30 inch and love it ...although a friend here in S. Denver recently got the 36" and I'm impressed: more skid plate and a wider scoop so it handles slow water better. Would go with that if I ever lost my 30" I think.

Yeh, the 30" does require a little more flow....
 

No I wouldn't. But I would be able to run dirt like crazy!!!! My problem with my sniper is I can fill a bucket so fast but it takes me a while to run it through the sniper, but I could run it a lot fast through a bigger prospector !!! And when I am out prospecting I am working like a mad man and can work as much a couple of regular guys just having fun.

I know that feeling..last week a buddy and myself ran quite a few 5Gal buckets .. We looked at the clock, and it wasnt even 11:00 yet. Needless to say, we were burnt, tired and ready for more
 

I just want to run more dirt faster!!!! And have a sluice that can keep up with me !! My sniper is good but I want more production !
 

I cannot wait to get back out to the gold!!! I jus wish I had some money to get out to the new place where I get gold at!!

I understand completely. Have you looked into grabbing some acreage near you from the blm for a personal claim? :). Thats what im doing this month ahead of me
 

I haven't really looked into getting a claim, my family has some acreage that has gold on it but this new place is really good! The new place I went to I got more gold in 1 day then all my other trips combined!
