The big rock

We’ve uncovered this huge rock in our dig.  We are estimating it may be the size of a refrigerator, but we don’t have it all uncovered yet.  Paydirt collected from around the rock seems to have a lot of gold and nice pickers.

Excited to find out!

We are having some equipment issues at the moment.  So we have to face those before we can move forward…

Blue clay

Hi guys,

Ran two runs today, still running the cons.  
We came upon this neat clay layer in our dig.  Smelled like swampy gym socks.  But, we’ve never really found as gold as much in it as on it.  Tough to dig, we wanted to where the bedrock was but we couldn’t get through it.  Water coming out had an oily sheen on it…

I have a picture of our gold so far, somebody dumped it on to of the morning run before I could get a picture for you guys.
Also have a picture to show you it’s not all work and drama.  This is grandpa signing Mexican lullabies for the kid.

Behind every miner..

This post is dedicated to our chief mechanic, engineer, and welder extrodanar.  We couldn’t do anything without his ingenuity an hard work.  He designed and built our wash plant, grizzly, and whatever other hair brained inventions we come up with.

In this picture we see our hero working two days in the hot sun on a modification to the wash plant that we ended up removing due to safety consternation.  Some days, we let him off the hook to go on a motorcycle ride, but not too often…
