Spent the day up at Andy Thrax's mine and had a BLAST finding gold. Andy is the BEST! His small scale placer operation is in full swing, and producing amazing gold. Thanks Andy for the day!

Andy is awesome! Material looks mostly "light" but because of the big boulders I think if you follow it down to bedrock or clay will produce better results. Lack of clay is a flag that you need to go deeper. Im sure you will hit a pay layer!

Thanks Dan and wishing Andy the best. Just praying he hits richer ground soon as that is not going to cover costs much less profit. Hard as he works he deserves that much profit per day. All it takes is a bit of luck and the next scoop could tip the balance. Got my fingers crossed and thanks for showing us what he is up to. Great guy.

I don't know Andy's land space restrictions, but I bet his results would improve, and work time extended if he had a second settling pond, so the washplant gets cleaner water, and perhaps more water streams in the prewash as those big boulders were coming off the grizzly bars dirty. Best of luck.

One thing I noticed, a lot of the rock coming of the trommel still has a lot of dirt on it, dirt = gold, does Andy rerun the larger rock ? or maybe worth hosing down the tailings and running the dirt from that area, just a thought.

@Danhurd Жыл бұрын

He could feed 50% slower and wash much better better and might give a 1-2% increase in gold, for the cost of 50% less material going through, meaning 50% less gold in the end, for a 1-2% gain.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 billion years ago, a mind-boggling amount of hydrogen started pulling itself together under its own gravity. A super massive star was born and lived about 100 million years. When it ran out of enough fuel to sustain the amount of fusion necessary to balance the pull of gravity, it underwent a rapid contraction wherein the outer layer of the star slammed into the center of the star at speeds approaching the speed of light. This releases a tremendous amount of energy in what's known as a super nova. There is enough energy in this explosion to continue the fusion process where the star itself left off, allowing for the creation of heavier elements than iron. It is in the process of a super nova that all of the gold in the universe is created. There is no other mechanism by which gold is created. Then, in the neighborhood of 5 billion years ago, a portion of the cloud of dust, gas, and debris from the super nova began to pull itself together under its own gravity again. This time, our sun was born. The planets scooped up all the remaining material in the orbital plane. In the process, loading our planet with all of the gold it was ever going to (naturally) have. But then it melted and fell toward the core of our planet. Which is a bummer, because we can't get there. Thankfully, volcanoes tap into the deep earth and allow for the contents from below to be brought to the surface. And that's why you see gold in quart veins today. Because a bunch of hydrogen with too much time on its hands decided to play with the laws of physics. And of course, the same can be said for you and I, not just gold.
