Howdy folks,
We used one of the Rocky Mountain Miners Rally days to make these educational demonstration videos, seeing as how the rally is all about education this seemed an apropriate time.
Both are just over 2 minutes each.
First we will take a look from the dredgers view.
Notice the dredger has a little buddy hanging with her while she works and how close it stays.

Second here is a turbidity demonstration taken about 6 feet off the tail end of the sluice box and if you watch closely you will see not only fish at the nozzle end......but larger fish (2 we think) actually in the thick of the dreaded turbidity!

Hope you folks in California can make some use of this footage!
Enjoy everyone!

Here's a sneak peek! See the fish by the nozzle....watch close!
thanks Dan! good video! a full fish is a happy fish!
Great video and an even greater point made. Thank you Dan and Denise
Great Videos and hopefully this will be a tool to convince and educate some of the greeners. Delusions and misinformation can be broken. Real knowledge is a wonderful thing!
Howard said,"real knowledge is a wonderful thing!" but only if they listen to it!!
Thanks guys......Hope lots of folks pass this link around for others to use too.
I thought that too Russ....So we even put the words on screen for those types too....They can just watch.
You can also find these demo videos on my new Youtube account too.....Just search there for "Turbidity While Gold Dredging" or "Colorado Gold Dredging", and the vids should come right up.

We all do what we can in our own ways, to help bring awareness to the mining community!
Keep up the good work all, and do your part.
Remember.......Your participation does count!
This is a quote from Dan in another thread, but I thought it could be really handy in this one as well.
nice video! good info! hope that someone will learn from this that we are helping the environment not harming it!
Thanks Yellowfever. Here is another link from our prospecting links page to AMDS(akmining), with several other http://www.akmining.com/mine/study.htm.
