    What a great day out looked awesome out there.

If I ever get out that way I’m stowing away in the back of your jeep 😂😂 your prospecting skills are off the hook. I’m pretty sure you were a piece of gold in a former life and remember how you traveled downstream,( Jeff was a lead nail apparently…😳 jk Jeff lol) how else would you know where all the gold is all the time???

    Thank you for teaching responsibility of tying to leave no trace of placer mining. If everybody on the West Coast would have placer mined as you suggested there would not be the drastic shutting down of placer mining on the West Coast. Your a good man that deserves to learn how to dowse for gold and maybe next year my partner and I can meet up with you for personally seeing how dowsing for gold. We would enjoy making a few of our RUclips videos (channel will be up and going very soon), and have fun panning together.

    That's a pretty nifty little high banker. Can a person use a high output bilge pump with a lithium trolling motor battery to run it rather than a gas motor pump? I've seen that setup for just a sluice box but not a high banker. btw, clever place to dig!

    • @Washing_Dirt_Prospecting
      @Washing_Dirt_Prospecting 8 месяцев назад +1

      Bilge pumps are ok, but lose pressure rapidly if your hose has to climb more than a couple feet. I use trolling deep cycle battery to run my pump and trommel on my gold cube / gold fox setup. Works great, but you need to be right next to water source, even with 2000 gph pump.
