Love the muddy wash, turn that river red/brown! Nice result thanks for posting
 
Pity my dirt is 11km away from the water . I cracked a record run at 1 hour 5 min last time for the 11km . knocked 15 min off it :) I must admit it was in the dark
 
Hey Colmaca, Great video ,

Your pump is sure pushing out the water , Approx how many litres per minute do you think your machine pumping out in that vid ?

Well done

Pete

Maybe 200-250ltr/min
 
I took samples from 2 other areas out there, easier digging:) bucket dirt from each area processed today. results bucket 1 came from the crush Quartz pile easy digging near the battery.

sample 2 came from inside a V shape digging from the main hole.

total after re-pan many times all 2 buckets dirt, My conclusion all samples produced good gold(100 mtrs apart) the hole mountain full gold :) I need diggers :p

total for 2 buckets dirt

2 days Easter camping should produce more anyone mount Isa area welcome there a mountain :p

DWT if you want the Battery you can collect it it looks heavy :) free to a good home :p
 
GOLD !!!! Well done Colmaca

Mate its 1500 km or more for me ........so I dont think I will make it this year

In years to come, it may very well happen . A winter trip to WA via Mt Isa might be possible .

Keep up the good work

Pete
 
Well done Colmaca,
If I was a single lad I would be up there in a heart beat. Well done if that is what is each bucket.
I would keep this place under wraps and do a cuppla days stockpiling dirt and a few days running, I think you might amaze yourself.
Well done
Cheers
Brad.

Why not use a recirculating setup onsite? How much water would you have to carry in?

Cheers

I would think if your pumping 200ltr/min there you may need 2000 lt or so the dirt is very red .

Late picture from 700 litres dirt

Well done there Col. I'll be passing through the Isa on the way to WA in about 2 weeks time mate. Hoping to catch up with an old mate who works an area not far from dinosaur rock. Might drop in for a coffee if you've got a spare hour on our way through.

Keep digging that mountain and hope the big pocket is just around the corner.

Cheers Wal.
 
I may have a spare Hour or so :) Dinosaur rock I never heard this area . But I'm only new to this game :) I have a week of next month still deciding where/what to do, find gold or have a break and go fishing :)
 
Will send you a PM and see if we can share a few Yarns as we pass through. We'll be staying in the Isa for one night before heading on to Tennant Creek.

Cheers Wal.
 
We are self sufficient Col and never stay anywhere near a Caravan Park. ;) Probably stay at a spot we know near Corella lake as we spend a fair bit of time in that region chasing crystals.

Cheers Wal.
