Miners Do a Clean Up- 2005

We try and get the Miners to do a clean up on one of the 2 weeks that I do so that you folks can see how they work.  This year the 2 man crew worked 5 days and found about 45 ounces of gold.  It was not a great week but not a bust and in fact Doug (the owner) was hoping for more than that.  There is still plenty of areas for them to mine and us to detect at Ganes.  I would expect that they have another 10 years left.

 

The smaller trammel that they use to run the concentrates from the large trammel. 

They run about 2/3 of a 5 gallon bucket through the system.

 

The back of the trammel where the rocks and larger material comes out. 

On occasion a larger nugget will come out this side.

 

The smaller nuggets and fine gold getting caught in the tray beneath the trammel. 

This gets rinsed into a large plastic tub.

 

The plastic tub that holds all the fine gold, small nuggets and what they call concentrates or heavies.

 

Brass classifiers that separate the size of gold. 

The top one is the largest and each one underneath that has the smaller screens. 

The bottom one is where the fin gold gets caught into.

 

A handful of nuggets from the 1st screen.

 

A pan of the smallest nuggets or “fines”.
