Re: How goes the battle gents?

Phew... finally winding down for the season. Forecast is for 1/2" snow tonight.
Had a fun mining season with some interesting ground but planning to move to new area
for next summer.
Picked up a "new" piece of equipment :)

Re: Dredge Plug Removal Tool

Well I am not a dredger but this sounds too complicated ! But if you do try this I am assuming you are going to attach rope to both ends of your claw hook? Because you know you're going to get the hook jammed up with the rock!

Re: Gold Spot

Dan's crystal ball is working. Hot dog if gold isn't well over $3,000 today ! I fully expect it to bounce around back below 3K but I think a good chance we'll see a sustained above 3,000 for the summer. Get those shovels, dredge nozzles and excavator buckets shined up ! I'm getting ready to haul fue...

Re: IYKYK is AI just GIGO for gold mining?

No, but I do believe it is going to be huge in the future for delineating deposits.
I think we are already seeing that.
Not sure so much on the placer side although if I were looking to find a new placer deposit
in a particular district, I would sure be looking at using AI in the tool kit!

Damn Geo, that sucks. Getting around in the woods is hard enough with a pair of legs !
Hope you designed some fancy wheel chair with tracks !
