Nov 8 Gold - Getting a Little Chilly Underwater

[goldhog]

You can skip ahead in the video to the 11:35 mark.
That's when we head to the field.
The first part of the video shows mat configs and trimming of the RiverHog.

I forgot to shoot the water heater system, I'll shoot some of that next week.
Mornings are touching low 30's and high 20's so water is getting a LITTLE chilly.
Nothing like the frozen north... but not the balmy 90's we've had all summer.

Back on some decent gold right now but have a feeling some really good stuff lies just ahead.

Thx. Doc in letting the end user know that mats work with lots of water and lots of angle on the sluice.

No prob.
We had lots of questions on trimming the RiverHog mat and how to use it so I made that first part by request.
It is by far the most versatile mat we have I think. We have a bunch of commercial ops now running it.

As far as the run......... it was nice to see larger gold showing up again.
We were on really good ground for about 4 weeks, then the bedrock plates shifted and mostly fines were showing.
So.... thank God we spent 40 hours early in the season mapping and testing the entire property.

Pulled back to one of the good test spots and sure enough... we have good ground again for about 200 hours.
