boulder dash Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Saturday the wells fargo kid and I decided to drywash a remote desert canyon near the lazy camel mountains nw of surprise. Access was a small challenge that required hand snips and readjusting my side mirrors. Working a small stretch when the vacuum started acting up. Pulling it competly apart a putting it back together made zero difference. About 3 buckets later and much ear screaming vacuum noise it was dead and gone with smoke. Lucky for us we had a good 6 hours of running buckets and vacuuming. And did I mention it's kinda hot and humid out in the desert this time of year. Fun trip and good people. Total was 5.10 grams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalliKile Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Drywashing, been there, done that, won't do it again. It's not the hard work of digging a monster hole, or having to fill it back in, or the noise and smell of the blower motor, or that when you're done you look like you've just rolled in a mud puddle, it is the nasty stuff in the fine dust that makes my lungs hurt that sealed that coffin shut for me. Even wearing a mask doesn't filter it all out, unless you get the full face mask, and who could wear that in this heat.Congratulations on your take! That sure is some pretty yellow. Love that stuff.Best Regards,MetalliKile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Both B-Dash and Adam are straight up as tough as they come! Great freekin vids on youtube too! Although they should be listed in the "fitness and endurance" section!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Thanks Bucket !We genuinely have fun while prospecting, and while drywashing "fun" translates to challenging ourselves to see how many buckets we can run. Keeping track of the numbers keeps everything legit for the trip reports,videos`s, and gold averages. Hope to have more videos soon, but we havent been saying to much lately Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahorton10 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 You guys rock, I love the vids too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
