Vico dug/Qld panned...

[20x]

Because im going back to Qld to work for a while tomorrow Ive been having trouble with the thought of no yella. So this morning I went to one of my spots and cleaned out a big clay crevice and hauled it with my mini wheely bin furniture trolley haul truck through a pretty long haul track I cut through the blackberrys to my ute. Filled a 44 gallon drum chockas to the top so that should last yonks.

I will be catching up with friends and family so I thought doing this would also be an easyer way to teach and share the gold experience with everyone at their homes in comfort.

I will be updating results from time to time from this drum as it gets processed by begginners and myself.

like jelly beans in a jar im going to put my estimate in at 1.77 grams total just cause my 17th year rocked and its a quick calibre

have a crack and put your etimates in???????

 

[axeman]

G'day mate, I'd say 1.2. Good luck

[MJB]

since we are talking calibres...I will say .223 or should I say 2.23 grams

Cheers

Do I win the hand trolley wheelie bin? That sounds awesome.

 

[Jaros]

I'll try 3.1 grams.

Know what you mean 20x, had to scratch the yella fever itch yesterday as I havent been out for a couple of weeks so I went around and picked up a bucket of cons I had left with a friend for him and the gran kiddles to play around with. Bucket hadn't been touched since I dropped it off. Got home, had a pan and then remembered why I had dropped that bucket off to him - it was full of black sand and plenty of fine stuff from Adelong creek (he has a spiral wheel) - way too much and too fine to pan so its back around there to day to grab the spiral wheel.
Safe travels and I guess 1.92g

 

[Tathradj]

2.25 my guess.
I have a 20 litre bucket of medium cons from Yambulla that I am going to process this weekend.
Came from the pay layer.

 

[StirFX]

Hmm... 2.43.
Hope you find way more though!

 

[Billy]

Good luck with it, my guess will have to be 2.70grams. (.270 great round !)

 

[magneticsand]

0.0!
Just like last time I took home a bootload

 

[Beagleboy]

0.89 - have fun panning.

 

[Beep]

.91

You'd have to get a fair return from your 44gal drum. Bit of a Dirty Harry fan, so I'll lock in 4.4gms ( .44 magnum ) so " Feelin' lucky? Go ahead - Make my day".

 

[TTKooAu]

Thinking a barrel like that is 1.93 gms. good luck

[Terry]

I have to agree with Billy. My favorite callibre to shoot is .270. Shoots flat nd packs a fair punch but 2.7 is taken so to my second favorite in my collection.
1892 44.40 Winchester, octagonal barrel, takedown, so it's 4.44gm.

you were closest mate...0.72...i lied about the drum size, its actually a 30 gal plastic :lol. i actually dug the crevice in layers so the top of the crevice clay was at the bottom of the barrel and the bottom was at the top. i did this so i can work out how deep NOT to bother digging clay crevices. any deeper than a shovel depth is a waste of time.
