Re: How many colors in a Pan ?
It happens in stages. First, poke around until something gets your attention. When that happens figure out just what you stumbled on. Is it just a random fizzle or something more solid. Then, it completely falls on your shoulders as to "Is it enough, or not?" ""Enough"" in weight, size or richness o...

Re: Make your own mind up on .......................
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 ...

Re: Dredge Plug Removal Tool
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...

Re: IYKYK is AI just GIGO for gold mining?
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...

Re: IYKYK is AI just GIGO for gold mining?
No, not here. I guess I'm just set in my ways too much to venture off into what to me is a vast, confusing network of unintended, potentially scary possibilities. Have you eve noticed how AI generated vocal products are so 'not right'? Not just sometimes but always only a faint reflection of real sp...

Re: Gold Hog nary a Squeal!
One customizing thing that I did, which I found quite useful, was simple, inexpensive, handy AND was really easy. I had one of those Sharpies (Magic Markers) that was Silver in color and I made SURE that the mat was absolutely aligned correctly and then went to the back of it and marked it right and...

Re: Gold Hog nary a Squeal!
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...
