I have to haul water in about 160 gallons a day, i use a 80g livestock tank and a 5 hp trash pump. For every bucket that goes in one has to come out but its the only way to unlock the gold out of the clay, dry washing is out of the question due to the hard pack. When the dirt dries out I am going to try a tiller to run it through the 151.Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Border Boy Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nice returns brother! Is that coming off your new claim?Yes sir, Colorado gulch has been giving it up for sure. Getting ready to do a plan with the forest for the winter and may need your legal advice, I got all the papers and i think this process is going to be a major pain. Thank you two for being so darn cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in a couple of yards of that good red clay and you are talking tons. I thought I was doing good when I carried in 60 gallons of water + gear on Rich Hill last month. You are right about that clay though. I've heard a lot of complaints about no gold from folks drywashing in Greaterville but wet processing always shows results even from the same ground the drywashers are complaining about. You are on to a good spot there but that ground is tough - plan on that roto tiller going through bearings and blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
