Dry Washer bellows attachment... 324 0
Started by garcia92551@yahoo.com
Hi everyone. I have a basic dry washer that uses a leaf blower to make it operate. I want to take it to an area where motorized machines are not allowed. I was wondering if there’s a way to add something like a bellows attachment that I can hand crank

We have concentrates. We just need someone who can extract the gold 566 0
Started by david@ucvcfunding.com
My boss is part owner of a pretty famous gold mine and because of this we have about 50k tons of concentrate and hard rock ore left over from the exploration stage of his project. This particular ore is known to have high concentrations of gold, silver and other PGM's, but one of the issues we're having is that normal fire assays are not picking up all the gold. Much of the gold is being washed away. We need a master assayer that can extract hard to get gold through a chemical or atomic procedur...

Phone GPS in the field 8970 14
Started by joe@jas-gold.com
A lot of people think you need Wi-Fi to use a cell phone GPS in the field.
That is not true if the app will download maps 'GPS Waypoints Navigator' for android will do that.
In fact I recommend you turn off Wi-Fi and Data to conserve your Phone battery. If left on the phone keeps checking for a connection and will drain the battery in no time. I have a couple of old phones I keep around just for the GPS.
I have some 1000 plus waypoints on my phone. I mark and label ev...

Mining claims on GPS 12915 5
Started by mtbassman@msn.com
Hi guys. I don’t know how many of you uses your GPS for accessing claims but I emailed onX maps here in Montana because they make land ownership software for your Garmin. I asked them if they could make a layer in their program with mining claims. They responded that if enough people asked for it they would make it! So if you could go to onXmaps.com and go to support and contact them about this layer, maybe we could get them to do this. I know it would be really handy in the field for knowi...

Bad Prospecting Ethics 3340 4

I was working the Placer Creek claim in New Mexico yesterday and came across this area where someone had dug along and beneath the Forest Service trail that accesses the claim from Hopewell Lake. This is along Forest Road 356A. Not only does this conflict with the standard guidelines of not digging into stream banks ~ one of the conditions the Forest Service is clear about when obtaining authorization to prospect on this claim ~ it's pretty stupid and disrespectful to cause damage to...

Next time you're at Wally World add these items to your list.
Children's balloons, fishing line/string or twine & split shot lead sinkers. (Less than $5.00 total, and it will probably last you all season.)
Find a spot in the creek where you want setup equipment then go up stream a bit. (Anywhere from 50' to a 50 yards depending on the stream.) Take about 3ft. of twine string fishing line. Stay away fro ribbon, it floats. (Actually you want about 1 1/2' longer than the stream is dee...
