3in Dryland dredge nozzle question 2831 2
Started by c.butters74@gmail.com
I'm new to dredging. Just bough a 3in dryland dredge nozzle from GBE Mandrel. When I run it in my highbanker with the keene pump (2in) supplying it, it blows out the nose of the nozzle. I'm wondering if it is a problem with the nozzle, or perhaps my highbanker being higher than the nozzle is the issue. (~3feet ish) I bring up the possibility of it being the gun, because when I look inside the gun at the jet itsself, its necked down to maybe 1/2' -3/4' max... And would assume it needed to be b...

Place that's easily accessible 2208 1
Started by roehoe72@yahoo.com
I'm looking for a place to take my blind brother. We have reconnected after a 6 year fall out, and in that time I have been bitten by the gold bug. I live near Sacramento, and would love to take him to a place to pan. I'd prefer a gpaa claim, as I'm a new member. But anywhere would be ok. I tried the bear river at the campground my first time, which I know is accessable, but I heard it's just fine gold, and I got skunked my first time there (which honestly was my first time prospecting). Any and...

Hello all! My name is Adam and i live here in Montana and just joined the GPAA. I'm not really that green as I have been prospecting since i was a kid.

My local area is what i would describe as the hole with no gold but surrounded by it, which literally couldn't be far from the truth!
