Fleng - My contact info just sent - somehow it never made it in my earlier long and windy PM to you.

Well Sir, I've been there and done that on the "...trip to Nome" thing. Beach mining or possibly GPAA? You would be well advised to bring two VERY fine mesh classifiers (at least one 40 or 60 mesh one) and search out someone when you arrive to teach you how to pan all over again. Also - bring a few ...

So Easy, there will be some problems … Plug ups usually come along when a piece of longish gravel, traveling through the suction hose, twists or tumbles enough that it toggles inside the hose. Following gravel and sand pack the new diagonal obstruction and continues packing it until little to nothin...

One thing about "Published Material" that is sometimes overlooked has to do with the testing process and just who actually does it - and - more importantly, how it's actially done. In the great scheme of things, temporary summer help was used for decades to do much of the mind numbing, repetive test...

Wellllllll - I guess I might have a little input (maybe not only a little bit) on Doc and his Gold Hog line. Doc is a very unusual gent. He had been non-professionally Gold mining for quite a long while and he, for some reason, started studying recovery systems and the failings and advantages to eac...

If anyone is a bit fuzzy on what "Spot Price" is --- here's a pretty good write-up on it:

HMmmmmm --------- When I first started panning back in the summer of '66 the US Government's fixed price for Gold was $35 / oz and private ownership of refined Gold, say a Gold bar or Gold coinage, was unlawful. Big time Gold smugglers would somehow get their Gold to Europe (Switzerland) which was i...
