Don't know anything about prospecting, but I know a little about moving dirt and aggregates. That's pretty good cash for moving a ton of gravel. An especially good time to be doing it too.

How many ton/day? The only dredge I've seen was able to produce a few ton/hr.

He has a 4 inch. Might suck a ton, ton and half actual gravel on a good day. Got here about noon Mon and found a little color. Was 29 degrees here in Chicken this morn, a little much for August as far as i'm concerned. My job is picking the big rocks outa the sluce and carrying the beer. It is interesting to watch the prospectors all setting at their picnick tables each evening panning out their cleanings, uite a bit of color being found.

I did some googlin' since you posted. That's some interesting stuff. I've never done anything remotely similiar to that. To be able to screen a ton of rock down to the point of finding the 1/2 ounce of gold in it...well, that's gotta be worth watching. Sounds like a good way to spend a summer.

Ya Mon, I figgured that working with drivers, contractors, shippers and others was a learning curve, but, this has it's moments also.

@ my favorite LayOver Location,
K.C Ameristar Casino.
boy the Buffet was good.
wondering if it will be morally acceptable to go and see Tranformers3 in 3D, despite missing on on the Tranformers2 .
