Barrel is 1/2" i believe. Haha your previous posts have me talked out of a grizz but I may build one up that is bolt on so I can take it on/off.chickenminer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2024 1:54 amSweet! Looks like a good start. What gauge is the barrel made of?
You planning some sort of grizzly on that hopper?

Test trommel
Fabbing up a little test trommel to use to test some new ground if my permits ever get First Nations approval. Yes, I know the barrel appears orientated the wrong way- i did it on purpose to carry tailings farther away from the skid.

Re: Spring hauling to new prospect
Wow, thanks for sharing Dick and quite timely. My new area I am looking at has winter road access only and I have been musing on the absolute necessity of having a dozer or if I could could use a plow tractor with chains or even go over top with a low impact vehicle like a nodwell. The length (90 mi...

Re: Soil samples for placer indication
Thanks Geo and Chicken. At this point I am doing more internet prospecting than anything else and the info avail from YukonGeo is mostly related to hardrock geophysical. The purpose of my question was to see if there was a potential placer link with the soil sampling.

Re: how cold is it

The necessity of Nugget Traps?

I don't use them however I am not in a nugget gold area so I can't say for sure that I need one (maybe I would get nuggets if I had one lol). In my experience it seems like the 1.5" angle iron sluice section catches anything...
