Well done! One reason some seem to find more Mercury dimes than "silver" Roosevelt dimes is Mercury dimes were minted more than 10 years longer (29 years) than the "silver" Roosevelt dimes (18 years), so there's probably at least 1/3 more Mercury dimes put in circulation.

Cool you made a scarecrow that looks like Bob!!!

Have you read the report "Gold Placers Of California" California State Mining Bureau Bulletin 92, 1923 by Charles Scott Haley? https://archive.org/details/goldplacersofcal00halerich/mode/2up?ref=ol&view=theater If it's not the report you have referenced, it may have more info on your area.

I love that Mike took the big rubber bands off the lobsters' claws so you would have a great surprise when you opened them up!! LOL

Looks like you had a great Father's Day trip!! How do ya'll know who's gold is who's after mixing it all together?

Nice find!

Yes it will still be a bit before the Manicore is being sold, so that comparison is going to take a little longer even after the Manicore is being sold and someone who has or used both can post/report such a comparison.

I'm not sure why you thought you had to create 4 topics just to ask this question, but it is what it is!!! That being said/complained about, I think the Trademark for the Le Trap sluice is now owned by Geo Sluice Mining/ Jeff Davis, or at least he did last I heard. https://www.geosluicemining.com/products/le-trap-sluice-box-gold-sluice-stream-river-robber-sluice-gold-prospecting

Yes I also think it's Botryoidal Hematite or Botryoidal Goethite, Botryoidal means "grape like".

Nice little nuggets! Which detector did you find the Tarantula with?

Not a bullet mold, photo 1 and 3 show both sides of the "round end", no holes. I'm not sure of what it is myself.

If you get the Manticore, you'll have to wear that talisman when using it!!

How Mr. Wilkinson didn't win or at least get nominated for a Grammy for his performance is beyond me!!

@Jennifer I remember when you bought the ATV, just can't remember how long ago it was? Damn CRS

Are those the original ones you bought several years ago or have you worn out the first set?

It hasn't been years since he posted this, he just posted it less than 2 weeks ago, on July 29th!

Yes that's a scary looking road for sure, but if I visited there I would have to drive that road....because my first name is Skipper, it's not a nickname it's my given name when I was born, so I would have to drive on "my" road in NZ!!!

OUCH!!! I was going to make a joke on how easy it is to teach Jeeps how to do back flips....but after watching and learning how unlucky Suzie was in getting seriously injured but also how lucky she was that she got ejected out of the Jeep early on that surely saved her life, I'm now going to contribute a little something to help her pay her medical bills.

Just stick with the Jack and Coke and leave the soap alone, boy do I remember the taste of soap for just saying "gawd-dang-it" when I hit my finger with a hammer in my youth, I should of just said what I wanted to say! I could of been a bit more clearer in the dredge part being for Bob, should of mentioned his name for that part.

The first book I would recommend is Chris Ralph's book "Fist Full of Gold". Steve's review of this book. A topic on this book.

Jennifer I know you did since you posted the video and exclaimed how much you like the sluice, the dredge part of my reply was for BobC.

Yes that trommel will work well with such a sluice, the sluice in the video is going to be use on a dredge in Nome.
