  • Well, thankya kindly there Matt, God gave me 2 eyes and 2 ears, and only 1 mouth, I've spent 33 of 49 yrs. tryin to do twice as much lookin and listenin than I have done talkin.(My first 16yrs. of life was spent thinkin I knew everything but by age 17 I genuinely realized I knew NOTHING). But anyways, how'd the U.P. beach prospectin go? I saw on the NOAA web site some rain came through there a couple times, maybe 3 over the weekend. I really, really, REALLY wanted to come up, but this workin like a rat thing kinda kept me stuck down this a way. Tomorrow I'm goin back to my little creek fer the day, it's in a 50-70ft. deep ravine and there's a canopy of tree tops that keeps me in the shade all day long so the heat shouldn't be so bad. I am findin some gold but it is VERY fine flour, but i'm still not able to separate this gold from this super fine magnatite and quartz sand. My smallest classifier is 20 mesh so my next step is to order me a 50 mesh screen, and i'm still about a $100.- short of gittin my angus mac kirk ordered. Once I've filled a 1/2 oz. vile and have gotten all the fine Fe3O4 and SiO4 out and it's just all Au, ya'll will see it, I promise, but thanx again fer the kind word/approval of my rant, and as Hoser John would say, more Au to you.....RH

    • No need to order a 50 mesh, I sell em for $12. Get a gold cube and save yourself some headache
    • Hey Matt, tried to PM you about  gettin that $12., 50 mesh screen from ya and then an 80 mesh if you have it as well, but to send a PM fellers need to be on eachothers friends lists first. If I were tryin to process entire 5 gal. buckets of just blacksand, then I'd concider gettin a gold cube. But after processing 2-3 buckets of raw material I'm ending up with just a quarter to a half cup of black and quartz sand thats just slightly bigger than the gold flakes themselves.

    • Nice thing about a cube, you can literally run tons of 1/8" and smaller material
  • First off, kindly, please, don't ever refer to those bunch of suit wearin, office workin, city people who sit on their tales and make absurdly, and rediculously stupid policies concerning activities they themselves would never involve themselves with, as Gods. They are NOT Gods, just self centered, upper echelon rat race participants that possess unspoken self serving agendas. There has been, quite recently a fare amount of hard scientific evidence, (most has been presented to judges in Cali-fruitball-fornia courts, that not only does sluicing and dredging NOT harm fish and wildlife habitat, but just the opposite, it improves and is beneficial to wildlife and moreso all indigenous fish species of any given particular region. Matt, yer right on the money with what that illegal alien, canadian Jenny did, just to make sure her bank accounts stayed fat. And I ain't one fer even to think of havin any respect or regard fer any policies fabricated by a state or federal government, just to keep me from tryin to make an HONEST living. The bottom line to what these laws or policies means, simply is this. "There ain't enough Au placer deposits fer us to profit from it's recovery, but we understand that there is just enough fer independant prospector/miners,(who are willing to work, for themselves, hard enough) to make a living, and We CAN'T have that!!!!! Their attitude is. You need to live in the city, work like a RAT fer some big corporation, accept the poverty level income they let you have, and shutup and be lucky you even have a job. Nope, don't much care fer governments these days, state or fed. I may not know all the facts concerning many issues, and I know I don't have all the answers to many of the current problems, but the one thing I DO know is that we need to remove all elected idiots, state and federal as well as all the elelected one's friends who got appointed to various postions and offices where elections weren't required. and that would just be the "start" of the start. The "proverbial" Tip of the iceberg, so to speak. But please, don't listen to me. Technically, I am uneducated, I don't have a high school diploma, I'm NOBODY, I've never made more than 20K. annaully, sorry to have ranted this long, I'll shut-up now, and my most humble apologies to all who wear suits, sit on their a$$es, do a lot of talkin and pointin, and pointin and talkin, and then at the end of their day, look in the mirror and try to repeatedly convince themselves that they deserve their 80-250k annual incomes. I apologize, most sincerely....RH 

    • dont appologize to those scum. stick to your guns, your exactly right and its much worse than just prohibiting a little gold prospecting.

      America needs more real men to stand up to this fascist government.

      to many men today are just girly men doing whatever the environazis and feminazis suggest and bowing down to the government. the federal  government today is just a bunch of extortion artists stealing money from the people at gunpoint. If there were real men in America today, this corruption would not be happening.

      hopefully, this govt will turn around peacefully by electing ALL people like Ron Paul and returning America to the people. Until Americans quit voting for Republican or Democrats (all the same, thiefs) and elect constitution loving individuals who will do the right thing for the  people we will continue down this ever worsening facist path.

      If we dont solve this at the voting both, god help us all cause its going to get VERY ugly.

      Any real men out there that want to take America back??????????

      George Washington did not defeat the British by free speech, he shot them.

      He was pissed off because of a 1/2 percent tax.  1/2 percent. today we pay about 50 percent in total taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Just saying.

    • Let me applaud you sir, you may not have schoolin, but you are indeed educated
  • We're planning on running one of Tim's Magnum highbankers with a sluice below it just to make sure we don't lose anything.
    • sounds like a plan !

      keep us posted will see if we can make it and i will get out and try and get my beach box built

      and give it a try

      will bring both just in case hope my wife and i can get off work when  you have it

       could probably rig it up to run both(beach box and highbanker) off same pump?

       

    • we're planning on the week of july 21st, we have a bear camp in ispheming. so a place to stay isn't a big deal. from the videos i saw, by putting one under the other, you catch a lot of stuff
