I was Playing with some sand I dug up last summer while setting water pedestals here in the campground. I came across a layer of black sand and took out about 2-3 gallons, it sat for a while. got my toys back and hooked up a duct tape header box on the A52P and a pump and cleaned that sand, then ran it through the blue bowl. I was a little surprised how fine the gold was and how much I got out of the 2-3 gallons of sand. I didn't clean it all the way but this is what I got out of it. tomorrow Ill have a bit more I hope. I got permission from the owner to do a little testing around town with the backhoe. Tomorrow town maintenance is going to play in the dirt looking for gold. lol
This should be fun, more pics tomorrow.

My conclusion so far, wrong Dirt. I now believe i mixed up dirt from Liberty, WA with the dirt from here. no label. There are no garnets here in the dirt I have cleaned so far and the sample I pictured does. So wrong dirt, I don't like making mistakes but there it is. I am finding little specs though but not enough to make work out of. 2 more holes today just to make sure. Oh and no arrowheads either.
I am part of a group with a couple claims in Liberty. I myself not been over there yet..... What Is it like out there, i only seen google earth images.
Liberty is a beautiful place , gold, I think theres a prospecting store there now, not sure about that, i'll have to check next trip that way. That ore pictured came from further up the road from an active mine site.
I am fabricating Stators for Permanent magnet alternators and wanted to use the metals from there to fab them. I play/design with small wind turbines/yard lights as well.
very nice ...Keep us posted ok Thank you and good luck
I'm off to make a better recirculator for clean up. Need to go see if some of those p 100-180 electric irrigation pumps work. Pictures tonight or sooner. Why am I still in here? later.
That look good for a play ground. that could be a million dollar play ground. You now what they say gold is where you find it.
Theres nothing ells to do here might as well dig it up for a while. today I will have a better idea and make sure that wasnt a fluke.
