Popular Post Aureous Posted December 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2021 Just curious as to how well (or not so well) your 2021 went gold-wise. Not a terribly good year for me, lots of delays, weather issues, Family issues and car breakdowns ? But still got 605 pieces for 2021 for almost 5oz. Biggest was 8.5 grams with a 3.5gm and 3gm being the next biggest. No interstate trips so no big tallies.....maybe next year if Covid allows. Attached pics show just the last 2 months worth of gold, including the 3.5 grammer in the last pic. How did all you guys go this year??....any 'Biggy's'??? Happy New Year to everyone! 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bishop Posted December 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2021 i had to find all the different containers i squirreled away and i sill missed one. pictured is 510 grains, 1.10 ounce. maybe another 30 grains in the other container. also there is more but i have a partner that i have been doing a gold split with. the fine stuff on the left was part of an experiment with the gold monster. detecting bedrock washes that had a lot of bird shot trash in them and sucking up the targets with a gas powered vacuum and then running that through a dry washer. most 5 gallon buckets had 3/4 to 1 gram gold and an oz of lead per bucket. it worked well, imagine sucking up 100 targets or more an hour. but i had to stop, as carrying a full bucket around was making my sciatica act up. it was an interesting year in that i found 3 gold veins shedding small nuggets. one is on a club claim and 2 are on open ground, but hard to get to. not sure what to do about them as i don't know much about hard rock mining. looking forward to 2022 with the 6k. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Sept 2020, I've mainly used my 4500 since I got it modded. So my % of gold with the 24K these past 16 months is about 10%. Whenever my shoulder gets sore, I switch back to the Whites to give it a weeks rest! At 3.2kg, my custom 4500 weighs a lot! Of course the 24K is like waving air around! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had plenty of 10oz+ years in the past and back in the 'good ole days', a 50oz season was 'acceptable'. Numbers wise, apart from 2020, every year since 2013 has been over a thousand pieces. Maybe the GPX6000 will get me back in the 'K' game again for 2022. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
