You Only Get Back From What You Put Through.

You Only Get Back From What You Put Through.

These words were said by a person who really knew the game. The equipment you are using must have the ability to process large amounts of wash in any given day. To be able to be relocate with ease at any given time. The type of equipment that restricts you to one location without the scope of a larger working area in my view is not worth the money. As experience has shown over the years gold can disappear as quick as you found it. Hence the need for flexibility and mobility. Your pump must also be able to deliver all that is require of it, in other words be able to pump distance. Have enough pressure at distance to be able to work in clay conditions my advice to you would be if it can’t get one that can. About one of the worst experiences you will encounter in wet water prospecting is when you find a top run of gold and your equipment is not good enough to work it, knowing on your next visit someone would have. You just hate that. So as stated if you want to get a lot of gold you have to work for it push the wash through and reap the returns, But make sure there is gold in the wash to start with no point working hard if there is no gold present.

Below are some inspirational photos for you to view Just to get you motivated for 2013, some have been posted before but there still good to look at.

Thanks.

Whiskers !a question for you ! I see many fossickers digging like mad things for a short while into their high bankers and then taking time off to have a smoke or have a chat or two with someone on the bank of the creek but at clean up time they have less than someone who is loading up their highbanker in a more measured way ! Much slower in their digging style but in a given time they actuly shift more material ! Do you see the same ?
