It has been a long month fixing broked equipment, I rebuilt the trommel and it finaly looks like it will work for more than an hour. The tractor is running rough but it will have to do for now. Have been sampling Peoria Flat and found a few small pockets of flakes. 10-25 flakes or so. I have worked the old tailings with mixed results. Sometimes we will pull a gram or less in 5 hours while other times we pull a dwt or so. Most of the pieces are smaller flakes while once in a while we get a 1/4 gram nugglet. We are still very limited on water there. We have a small pond to recycle highbanking water but no place to sluice yet. Woods Creek is still running with lots of water. We are still finding flakes and Thanks Miner John |
