Thought I might add, there is an error in my prototype, when I fix it/upgrade it there will be no use for the secondary scouring/boilers. This concept won't eliminate the need for the sluice/dream Matt to recovered escapees, but I have a whole new concept that will!

Over $300 per hour, very good first run for the plighbanker 😎

Pretty short mate, this concept is to explore what can be achieved before it gets there.

Dunno, but I did a 10lt sample and it gave about 0.65 grams, let's 'hope' the rest is better. Running it tomorrow at slatey Creek.

No it's the good stuff from a deep lead.

Loaded and ready for 'the run' 😎

That's still pretty shallow, what ground types/changes do you remember mate?

Interesting point Geoff, Maybe in the early days/primative blokes were more loyal abd honest.. Makes me think of how the modern prospector is, just a troll on social media looking for a mistake to take advantage of?

Something else seriously considering.. The digger that's right in the guts of the the deepest section of a lead/gutter, has a localised view of the bedrock topography, he could see the gutter direction and possible tributaries of the gutter. But from what I've seen it only takes a difference in...

Definitely on the right path mate, but let's imagine the rush in a lead, a digger that's learnt what's worth it and what not, this knowledge was a matter of survival. A digger fresh off the boat stakes a claim beside yours on a lead, would you help with your knowledge or just watch him fail...

When your detecting around colors and mullocks, have you ever wondered why there is awesome 'looking' gravels thrown out and not processed?

Just added some new components, now I have adjustable hopper and sluice angle..

Getting warmer..

After you have moped up even with the little gold hawks, what then

Another nice little nuggy today 😎

Dig it, strip it or sink it, bring that 5hit on!

Thought I should add.. My gold is only cleaned with a toothbrush, its in natural state out of the ground.

Another beautiful reef nuggy today 😎

Yes, just another cost to factor into the equasion, and if a digger carted his gravel to a puddler, there is another cost. I'm trying to create a view of the poor ground, particularly where holes are widely spaced to get an idea of what is left..

Endless variables to consider when looking at the surface of a worked lead. A lead with connecting holes today won't tell you the richest side area of a lead, getting some bits of any mullock could simply mean it was a digger fresh off the boat and didn't know exactly what he was doing..
