Gary, I cannot help but chuckle when Jeff does the thumbs up. He says more in that moment than words can express. Friendly challenge is on to see who gets the most gold. I suspect you can hear Jeff holler from a good distance when he finds some gold.

Hey Gary got a tip for you that I thought of when you were trying to clear water out of that hole. I use these large heavy duty sponges that I take with me when I go kayaking. You can find em at Home Depot. They work great at soaking up lots of water quickly. Besides that they are very light, when dry and can be compressed small for easy packing. Also you can squeeze them into tight places where it would be hard to fit pans and scoops into. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it

G'day Gazza from Australia. You were saying suction dredging, of any kind, is illegal, over your way, is that correct? Powered dredging here is illegal, but we can manually suction dredge. The mighty YABBIE pump, is a favourite. For cleaning out holes and crevices, great tool. All sorts of fittings, and modifications, are made by users, for all sorts of applications. They are actually made for pumping little crustaceans out of sand bars, for fishing bait. At which they excell.

@@TwoToes i was wondering where to ask this to get a response from ya, but since i am sure you have more info on the matter, where do you go to melt your gold down? i have about 2/3 ounce and wanted to make a ring pendant nothing too complicated. but i don't have a torch, or molds, and going to established jewlers will cost you an arm and a leg. i was hoping to find a local small time jewlery maker who i could work with and pay reasonable amount to refine and cast the piece. any recommendations?

@TwoToes 4 жыл бұрын

I'm not going to be much help on this one, I have never had any gold melted down. I would think who ever is going to make the ring can melt it down. I have always sold it as is, I get more for it that way.
