  • Spent the day up at Andy Thrax's mine and had a BLAST finding gold. Andy is the BEST! His small scale placer operation is in full swing, and producing amazing gold. Thanks Andy for the day!

    Andy is awesome! Material looks mostly "light" but because of the big boulders I think if you follow it down to bedrock or clay will produce better results. Lack of clay is a flag that you need to go deeper. Im sure you will hit a pay layer!

    • @Danhurd
      @Danhurd  Год назад +2

      I think he said it costs about 200 a day in fuel, and his goal is to recover 1000 a day in gold, that is not a bad pay check. But I assume he would like more.

  • @lvthud
    @lvthud Год назад +1

    One thing I noticed, a lot of the rock coming of the trommel still has a lot of dirt on it, dirt = gold, does Andy rerun the larger rock ? or maybe worth hosing down the tailings and running the dirt from that area, just a thought.

    • @Danhurd
      @Danhurd  Год назад +2

      He could feed 50% slower and wash much better better and might give a 1-2% increase in gold, for the cost of 50% less material going through, meaning 50% less gold in the end, for a 1-2% gain.

      He owns the equipment outright, I think he said about $200 a day in fuel, no real claim fees. No repairs that day, little in depreciation value. So about a $800 paycheck for the day.

      It is REALY hard running a mine site AND running a youtube channel. Either one is more than a full time job. I think Andy had to dedicate some time to making sure his mining operation was a success. It is quite possible splitting his time between both would ensure failure in both. It is one of the reasons I don't have a full blown placer mine going.
