I recently had the pleasure of hosting a group outing for CP Annual and Lifetime Members at my claims. Wow... what a great time with a fantastic group of fellow prospectors!!! I can't say enough good things about each and every one of you. Mike and Dave were always there at the big hole to offer help filling ore carts and jumping in on the bucket brigade when they saw help might be needed. They also were extremely helpful to everyone in identifying minerals! And, and, and..... they held a CP Drawing and gave away some amazing specimens!!!!! You guys are amazing. Colin contributed a LOT of time and effort dispersing tailings along my dam and that is greatly appreciated. Joshua was equally helpful in many ways (and very humorous) and I only wish he could have stayed longer. Same with Jason, Cara, Marsha, and Duke. Marsha and Timber have a solid bond and Duke is a giant teddy bear. I wanted to spend more time with you guys and I hope that we can in the future. I really wanted to send you home with some nice buckets of paydirt since Jason was under the weather! Crusty and I were the side-by-side highbanker team running dual bankers. I would have to say that was some pretty awesome teamwork my friend and your cooking is to die for!
Huge thanks to you all for being far beyond excellent guests and try to make plans for Labor Day weekend. Anyway... we all took pics this time and this was a great adventure! Add them to this thread, can't wait to see. I will add some soon. I didn't take a whole lot but have some worthy shots to add. I held a little "Largest Garnet" contest through the week and I will post the results and prizes here, stay tuned! You guys rule! -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER! Very Happy CP Lifetime Member CP CORE TEAM Referral Code CE213 |

Here are the pics I took....
This is how the "Caveman Hole" looked upon arrival. Winter was kind to my caution tape. The west side of the hole had sluffed in during winter where Brandon and I had made a 2ft deep cut in the overburden last fall. 20150702_114720 by swizz, on Flickr We made short work of the collapsed overburden and got back to business. 20150705_095826 by swizz, on Flickr Crusty's cache made it through winter well and much appreciated! 20150702_152520 by swizz, on Flickr 20150704_141915 by swizz, on Flickr One of my claim neighbors came by to run material with us using a power sluice but his pump was DOA. So.... we improvised a solution! Crusty and I each fed water to his power sluice via our auxiliary spray hoses. We used twigs and Gorilla Tape to git her done. 20150705_094227 by swizz, on Flickr 20150705_094302 by swizz, on Flickr Like this - 20150705_094623 by swizz, on Flickr Success! 20150705_094559 by swizz, on Flickr All systems running... this was our little processing plant.
