Re: Starlink system
THanks for the feedback Chicken. I cancelled my Xplorenet and am ordering the RV package of Starlink as I have a couple minesites and I will take it from site to site to use as needed.

Re: Big Nugget Gold!
Nuggets.... Biggest one I have ever found was less than 1 gram.... Just a byproduct of the ground I am mining. Guys upstream find up to 10 grammers but not where I am at....

Re: Trommel Rebuild Project
Hey Chickenminer what do you think the slope degrees were that you ended up with on the hopper? I am reminded of a post I saw about plumbing and if the slope is too steep the water flows too fast to move the solids....

Re: Circuit Breakers and GOLD prices!
I love these recent prices! Sold my last bit of gold for $2,777/oz CAN.... Economics for scaling up the placer mine are starting to look favorable! (Not quite enough to quit the day job steady income lol)

Home built drill for deep placer sampling
My buddy has some deep placer ground (100ft) that we would like to test some day. Just wondering most economical way to do so. I see auger mounted nodwell drills, excavators or skid steers with rotary drivers but will they have the capacity to go deep? Is there something that can be built for this? ...
