Ran 41 buckets of material through the highbanker yesterday and here's what I got. Just barley under a gram. Getting about a gram a yard would you guys consider that pretty rich ground?

That's an awful lot of labor for $30 worth of gold, however, I've worked just as hard
and ended up the day with less than 2/10ths of a gram.
It's $30 a yard material...and if you could run 100 yds a day you'd be a wealthy man in
short order.

Correction, gold is at about 1291.00 so he's getting just over 40$ per cubic yd, every penny counts

Congrats of some nice and what looks like chunky Gold! If it is in fact chunky Gold, then you may not be digging far from the source and might want to do some testing to see if you can locate the source.

more like $33 bucks if you can get a buyer at 80%
the thing to figure out is how much of the material was actually gold bearing.
make sure your moving the right yardage especially if your digging filling buckets dumping and feeding equipment.
A gram a yard is pretty low grade material if it is taking a day to source material.
How many hours?
