Moving From Casual Mining to Small Mining 22479 20
Started by stevesgolfer@outlook.com
Hello fellow prospectors. I am starting this topic in hopes of soliciting help with our claim transitioning from casual minor to small scale mining. My partner and I own the Placer Pete claim in San Bernardino California, located on BLM property. In order for us to transition to a small-scale mining operation, we need to work through the BLM process of getting an approved plan of operation. Our particular difficulty focuses on the area of the need to conduct an environmental assessment. BLM ...

gold hog piglet flare 13751 1
Started by randy82271@gmail.com
I bought the piglet flare a while back. No matter how i set it up i lose alot of dirt and water out of header box. Any suggestions on how to keep the dirt in the box. Ive tried all kind of angles and even turn water down to almost nothing. we usually shovel feed at a slow rate but no sooner than start dumping dirt starts coming off the back. It gets real bad if just dump a shovel and let it work down. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Started by Andrea.leigh01@gmail.com
So to introduce myself, my husband and I just moved to the central valley from the southern coast of California. In our search for things to do we've started gold panning and recently sluicing. Have talked to the guys in Jamestown and have gone out on fee based trips, watched lots of youtube, to get the hang of things and seem to be doing ok at it.... so thought we'd join this and see what else we can learn. We have kids and were looking into purchasing land to 'relax' on and not necessaril...

Gold Prospecting 43339 2
Started by mulubishaj@gmail.com
I am new to this forum but I have been reading a lot of what people have been posting. I have learnt a lot. I own a small company and we managed to acquire 2400 acres of land. Long story short, we have been finding rocks and geological deposits that point to the presence of gold and other mineral deposits in the land. I have collected samples and taken pictures of rocks, soil, land scape and I am hoping someone could look at them and help point me in the right direction.

Breaking up caliche 22064 7
Started by matthew.n.edwards.2@gmail.com
Hello everyone,
I wanted to see what the group might recommend for breaking up caliche prior to running it through a drywasher. I was hoping for some tips that would not require purchasing large/heavy/expensive equipment. I am mostly looking for methods that would be better suited for a hike in trip.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

This summer I am looking for a project for my grandchildren and me to build. I found the DIY vintage plans for a depression-era puffer. This looks fun to build. My question is how does it compare to an actual drywasher in gold recovery After we build the puffer, should I purchase a drywasher to show the kids what it is really supposed to do Thanks for the in-put.
