I have no idea, right now we are trying to get to bedrock, we have gold flakes and hope to get nuggets. we are going to use a old method for now, we plan to make a puddling box right in the clay. then screen and pan the concentrates. the silver is hard to catch, any ideas would help.TURNMASTER said:hmmm,
Got a question for ya. If ya don't mind.
What method did you decide on to get your silver out of your clay?
Are you refining your own metals or having it done?
Ok that was 2 questions

I guess I thought you had pulled a bunch out already. From what I thought I had read in a different post.

FROM THE EVIDANCE DOWN STREAM, SOME ONE HAS MINED THE CREEK. As for us , all we have done so far is dig out the the edge of the crap the loggers stuffed in the old placer mine. now we are going to start minning.TURNMASTER said:I have a half thought out idea.

Thats what we are going to do , its called " A PUDDLING BOX".TURNMASTER said:Do you suppose; the clay could be churned in a tub of water to a point which it would release its cargo of silver and black sand. While an inflow of water would wash away the clay saturated water (mud) leaving the desireable minerales in the bottom of the tub.
If the clay could be disolved enough then a system could be developed.

KEEP DRULING, the silver comes from a diferent mound of blue clay, it is about 2 miles from the platinum blue ground and has 640 grams of silver per tonne and 2.5 gpt of gold, never tested for platinum.. if i had more men i would put a crew diggin the platinum blue. this deposit is in a gully about 2 km long, massive deposuit.mikepanner said:I'll say this again, if you will permit me.

Re: gold 1.15 grams per ton, platinum 1.28 gpt, palladium 1.80 gpt

Platinum is still more valuable than gold. By the way, isn't the blue from silver in the clay and the small silver bits with the black sand may be platinum bits and/or palladium not silver?? Man, I'm drooling, now!
