Hey Ghostminer, hope your eye is feeling better, i was wondering if you know the size of the buckets they were filling up? Maybe 5 gallons ?

   Thanks Hardtimehermit. Feelin pretty good now. As far as bucket size, they don't say. I found one small homemade bucket up there but it wouldn't have been strong enough to hold gravels or big enough either. I'm thinking probably 5 gallon. They weren't carrying them very far as they loaded them on the back of Jed's Ford truck which you could get within 50 to 100 ft of where they dug. I assume they filled them up but once again they don't say. 

   When I did some testing up there I had to carry buckets about 100 yards to a recirculating sluice. I started out with full buckets in the morning but by afternoon they were 2/3 buckets LOL. There are hot spots all along the 2000 ft of faultline. That's what he was doing, finding hot spots. However, the glory holes are another animal altogether.

Take your time and get well. This is a real cliff hanger, we are not going anywhere.
