Re: Dredge Plug Removal Tool

Well I am not a dredger but this sounds too complicated ! But if you do try this I am assuming you are going to attach rope to both ends of your claw hook? Because you know you're going to get the hook jammed up with the rock!

Re: Gold Spot

Dan's crystal ball is working. Hot dog if gold isn't well over $3,000 today ! I fully expect it to bounce around back below 3K but I think a good chance we'll see a sustained above 3,000 for the summer. Get those shovels, dredge nozzles and excavator buckets shined up !

No, but I do believe it is going to be huge in the future for delineating deposits.
I think we are already seeing that.

Re: Make your own mind up on .......................

One of my gripes with the standard Gold Cube is the loss of gold I experienced with anything over 16 mesh.

Re: Mining Videos Thread

I was wondering why the guy on The Mining Channel had not posted anything new in a while. Always enjoyed his episodes.

Re: Gold Spot

Damn... sounds ambitious Dan! You must be planning on upping your yardage.
