Re: Gold Spot

Gold just keeps gaining. Up to $4,513 as I write this!
I'm starting to believe it will make $5,000 by June ?

Re: Evaluating placer properties

I think there is a bunch of folks reevaluating ground at todays price!
The old stacked dragline tailing piles I tested that ran 1oz/100yds would be tempting

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 :)

Did you apply for the new 10 year APMA ?
Lots of water running on the creek now and snow is going fast.

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!
