Sourdough Scott Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Purchased a small hand rock crusher. Going to crush samples as I find them when detecting and prospecting. I don't know a whole lot about hardrock and pocket gold. So any tips or suggested reading is helpful. Thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanursepaul Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Is that what you were churning the butter with last week??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent King Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Get yourself a fine sieve and sieve out the fine powder intermitantly while crushing otherwise it all gums up in the bottom ? The wifes flour sieve will do if you dont have a set ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitebutler Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Well Scott, I know a little bit in pocket hunting. I know that to locate I have found small bits very low on an already worked area. After finding bits I then chase them up till they stop. After they stop ( they bring the bits) I then work backwards both sides of the draw. It's like loaming. Once I find what side of a draw is best (keeping in mind it could be just erosion by water and frost heave) I hunt till it runs out and the again go backwards. It a process of elimination and deduction. I have only been around to find three pockets so far. I'm still very new to pocket hunting but just elimination works best. Get aftrit!
