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

Welcome aboard! Great to see you posting. The Fortymile is great country and the Knik is quite a marvel.
Been through there in the summer and winter.

Yes, photo link worked fine.
I noticed it looks like your equipment is on tailings, are you testing tailings? Or some side/bench ground along a worked creek?

Sorry not to see photos or video of the little plant running! What mods are you planning?
How did the testing on the new ground go? Questions .... questions !
