A few weeks ago I set up my new sluicing system in SE Arizona. Everything went well with a few minor adjustments. Here's a short video showing it all in action.

Cool idea! You've put some genuine ingenuity to work there for you. Nicely done.

All the best,

Thanks Lanny. I live about 1140 miles from the claim so I have lots of time to think on the drive there and back. :-) The Prius helps on affording the drive though. You should see that off-road Prius on the mountain road up to the claim. :-/

Now, that off road Prius just puts a picture in my head that I can't quite get rid of!

That 1140 mile drive would indeed give a person a long time to think things through.

Good luck, and I hope you find some nice gold from using your double-barreled wonder.

All the best,

Lanny

WOW! Now that's a heck of a nice looking claim there!!!! Oh wait.... That's ours! I'm just glad that I didn't show up in the video for a change! I was detecting up on the hill across the wash when you shot that Chris. I almost thought you were talking to yourself (again) then I figured out what you were up to.

Chris came up with this system and has put a lot of work into the engineering of it. Like all new systems it needs some "adjustments" but he has proven that his idea works. Considering that he took 4X the amount of cons home with him for this trip compared to what he took home on his last trip out here, I'd say that qualifies as a success.

One of the more amazing things about Chris is his ability to pack that Prius with so much gear and his dog Earl! I swear that you couldn't have shoved a straight pin in there when he pulled in at the claim. That he was riding about 3 inches off the ground is yet another matter in itself. If the Forest Service hadn't graded the roads a short time ago, he'd have had more problems than he did getting there.......

Hey Chris that's cool looking. Thanks for sharing!

Would you need a bigger traffic cone if you were to scale it up to production size? Just something to think about on that long drive.

Did you make it home in time for your radio show? I heard you like to take it to the last minute. I guess it doesn't matter if you have Greaterville dirt caked on if it's just radio. Does that Sweeny kora you play work better with dry dust on the strings?

I've just got to ask - is that dog's last name by any chance... Skruggs?

I hope next trip Ruby and I can join up and meet you and Earl.

DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! Give that man a cigar for guessing Earls last name! We're looking at setting up another visit from Chris and Earl the second half of May so get it on your calendar.

Thanks for posting up the video. I knew as soon as I heard your voice that you were in radio. Might have to trade in that Prius for an Army Surplus Deuce and a Half so you can haul a little more.

The forest service contractors who run the washboarding machine seem to be taking it easy on the road going to the claim. Sometimes late at night in Colorado, you would catch them out washboarding the mountain road for efficient drainage.
