Damn... sounds ambitious Dan! You must be planning on upping your yardage.
I question your sanity on the "more sluice runs" part. If we look up 'glutton for punishment',
we'll see your name!

I was talking with a couple of guys today while ordering steel for a new project

New project ?! Come on .... spill the beans. unless it's Top Secret of course !

Oh boy, gold at over $2800 an ounce today !! Itching to play in the rocks again.
Lots of speculation on $3000 by Fall. We'll see, I'm just happy if it sticks around $2800 !!

Haha, you will be able to mount that mini on your excavator and stream music!

Better yet I could stream some of those Gold shows and learn how to be a 'real miner' while feeding the washplant!

Update on Starlink.... Amazing is all I can say! For those wanting connectivity in remote areas this is the way to go. After two years of flawless service I am very happy. I did pick up a Starlink Mini kit recently. Way cool! I got it mainly for a backup but this Mini is so cool, small, the dish has...

Joe,
Here is a new gizmo for you.

4"x8" .... should only take about a year to clean a gallon of cons !!!

We been hearing on the news about the "arctic blast" system that hit the south.
Did you make a snowman ?!
That is a fine looking panning pond you have there

Slatco .... Dan has videos in the Mining Videos thread.

I think Keene figured their 8" dredge had a max capacity of 25 yph. So in real world Alaska conditions I would think about half that.
Miners always have a tendency to over-estimate the yardage they move

Merry Christmas Joe (and everyone else) ....
I hope Santa brings you some new gadgets to play with and try out in 2025 !

I'm hoping for a new 200 size excavator in my stocking this year
