Allen in MT Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Was up to the mine doing some work on the cabin and decieded to go down to the dig to see how things were going. This area is riddled with old underground diggings. This is some of the last tunnels that were just dug on Friday. This was about 15' down. Just trying to imagine what it was like back in those days and the work the old timers did just having to haul those timbers down a little hole to shore up their diggings. This was only maybe 4' wide and4' high. Tight quarters to work in. Yes there was a little gold left down there. enjoy and HAGDAllen in MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Shooter Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 It is amazing the lengths they went for the yellow metal and many were buried in their drift tunnels... Thanks for the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen in MT Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 Thanks for sharing the pictures Allen. Are you running all the material through a trommel?MattHere are a few pic's of what the guys are using at the mine, the mine belongs to a good friend of mine. I just go and detect behind them and pick up the crumbs as they don't have time to do it.Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunk Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Allen, Those are some way cool pics! Is there much oversize gold that comes off that opperation? I have never seen a big tromell in opperation since I have been interested in gold. Thanks,Bunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
