    My name is Scott, I joined at the last show in Mesa. I have been collecting gear for over a year, doing some research...stuff. After joining I started putting my stuff together and trying to work out bugs and how things run. A couple of weeks ago I took my son and finally went out to a claim. I just dug up a couple of buckets of dirt from spots/areas that looked good from what I have researched. I am really looking to get out with some of you so I can learn. I brought the buckets home and ran them through my sluice box. I bought a creek box, added a feeder and a pump. I have this set up to recirculate, want to try it in the field. I have a Keene drywasher, baffle type, Garrett ATGold, a finishing sluice and lots of other stuff. Now I need to get out and use it.

    Here is a video of my sluice running and after pics. Please provide feedback and/or suggestions. It is set a 1"/Foot and I forget the flow of the pump.

    ...and we did find a little. 2 - 5 gal buckets, I re-ran all of it just to make sure and found noting on the second run.

    Hi Scott

    You may want to try going out with one of the chapters. Contact information is on this web site. They go out from time to time and you will have others to associate with that like mining also.
