Hepplewhite Explorations

Cool old wooden sluice box we cam across on a hike out from our claim.    We will feature this old site in a video shortly once I get time!

There was also an old cabin and some old hand-stacked workings.

Amazing day out gold panning!

Thanks for watching,  please subscribe if you can!

Another great day out!

We got some more snow last night...  grrrr...    We have several claims we need to get to in the next 3-4 weeks to complete some work and the weather is NOT cooperating either.

The Water level is awesome low... the snow and freezing is not letting up 

It must be almost spring....

So good to finally get out!  Slow start to the year for us,  but weather appears to be lifting!

Video is a little older,  so not great editing etc,  but time with my family outdoors is why I do this!!

Hope everyone has a great holiday season!

Thanks.

Hey!  

Its the entry level model from Home Depot

VACUUM

Was around $150, but I already had the batteries etc.

It works well,  we modified the tip to be a bit smaller so that it doesn't suck up larger rocks,  we are going to make a custom tip for it with a screen to classify down a little smaller once again.  We also shortened the hose so that we increased suction a little bit.  It MURDERS batteries,  that is the down side.

4 batteries might last 45mins?  But if you find some good cracks / crevices its great.

We found it alot faster than "sweeping" and "scraping" up the gravels.   We loosen them up with a prybar a nd then just vacuum away!

Just about to close of the 2019 season.. maybe a couple more trips!

Sure do... Rocco the 7 year old Border Collie / Shep mix...

He is in a few of our videos as well.. usually just getting in the way.

Hello

We head out most weekends for a little adventure whether it be prospecting,  detecting,  offroading or ???

Video attached sharing some of our experiences.   Thanks and looking forward to seeing some of you in the field!!!!

Will also post some cool photos later,  from our last trip,  found some cool old sluice boxes etc and equipment on the rivers edge.

Hello from British Columbia, Canada.  Looking forward to this forum and meeting a few members.

We primarily do some hobby prospecting,  a little bit of detecting and lots of other outdoors stuff.

THANKS!!
