Gold Prospecting With a Sluice Box

I got a chance to go see the Yankee Fork gold dredge this fall when I was working in Idaho. It was powered by two 350 horse Ingersoll-Rand, 7 cylinder diesel engines, burning 400 to 500 gallons of fuel a day. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The picture of the old gold dredge is there because I like it.
There is a sort of sluice box inside it.

This link: http://searching-for-gold.blogspot.ca/2013/10/professor-hausels-guide-to-gold.html has more information than you will need.

If you are like me and consider recreational gold panning as a hobby I advise you to go and take a look. If you pick up one good idea you will find more good panning tips than any other 10 sites. You can never tell, maybe you will turn a small profit this season.

There is not much I can add to this but I am going to let Zemanta give it a try.

Where Did the Gold Go?

Image via WikipediaI had a really good entry all typed out  Ready to go and pressed transfer and it just disappeared.

It was all about gold and how it mysteriously disappears. You know what I mean you find a really good Creek. You do a little sampling and it come out good. Now your gold pan only holds a couple of shovelful's so if you can get that much gold in two shovelful's you better go back  and get your 5 gallon pails and fill them up.

Up in the morning and down to the creek, out with a shovel and fill the pails.  You classify it to a quarter  of an inch.

Luke where did you come from? You snuck in there all by yourself did you? You say you're going to pan this batch out? Great, get  at it.

One half an hour later...  how's it going with you Luke? You're ready for the final cleanup! Let's see what you've got. Lotta black sand in there that's a good sign I think. Give her the final swirl when can let's see what happens.

Excellent! As I was shoveling I was thinking this was cannot be another one of those where did the gold go? Expeditions. I'm sure glad you came along, you probably bought lock with you. Let's get that gold into the bottle. We can probably do a couple more  buckets before we leave. The water will be high next week and we will be able comeback to this exact spot so let's get as much done as we can now.
