Gold

That's awesome! The pictures with the rounded gold and inside the mine are very cool.

Gosh that mine would be calling my name. Gotta be gold left in there

Hey Dennis, Have you guys ever pumped the water out of the old mine? Is that possible?

[Garguy]

I thought immediately that I would be pumping 24hrs a day

We thought about it but there's plenty of rock outside and inside before you hit water. But we might be able to start a siphon? and let it run down the mountain maybe get the creek flowing in this drought lol.

I cleaned another specimen found with a metal detector on a mine waste pile. 26.5 grams

[Garguy]

That is so beautiful. It might be worth more as a specimen than crushed.

[south fork]

thanks, we try not to crush any specimens but sometimes we miss a piece.

A siphon should work. Get a roll of that flexible 2 inch water pipe. Push it done the shaft, cap the end. Pull it out half way and open her up.
