We have the car packed up and making a trip to the claim again tomorrow. I really don't know how much time we will get there before it snows.
We have about 8 more buckets we can fill for a boring winter day later on....never know where the next corn flake may be hiding! I'd like to run some material too so I'll post if there's anything good. I've been working in that area all week and I can feel the claim calling me. It's been torture I tell ya! I have an idea for the biggest hole yet. The area we plugged up for the dredge earlier this summer has been over flowing for months onto the area I first opened up and it's soggy and saturated now. I might try to divert the creek on around further to dry it up and take advantage of that to open a huge hole right across the main channel. Seems like a decent plan and I was getting good gold there before anyway. Whoohoo! -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16

Mike, do you mean the silver values? I was reading about processing silver from black sands and I think I could do that. There are also companies out there that will process bags #5-#50 of cons or bigger. They pull out all the metals and anything of value and ship it all to the proper places. Seems like something worth checking in to if we have good values. I know one guy that sells his black sands for aquariums and another that sells his magnatite to a welder.
They are just selling the waste and that's pretty good! -------------------- Level 2 member -12/25/16
