Really nice looking gold! Congrats on the find. Seeing lots of nice booming holes this year so far so people are getting out and getting theirs.

The South Umpqua is a huge long wide river. No secret where to find garnets (too bad they are not jewelry grade - we checked) in the area. Or maybe I could be wrong but just trying to help out give you some background on the area you were asking for help with.

Didnt mean to be arrogant, but there are only a few places near Canyonville that are known to be loaded with garnets so that kinda limits where you are at. We have experience in that area so just sharing our experience in the area so you know what you are getting into. No doubt (assuming same area) ...

I am pretty sure I know where the spot is and it is withdrawn under an old Army Corps of Engineers waiver for a "proposed" dam. Waiver never got removed. Lots of people claim over the top and actually get a claim number, but they flip it since although there is good gold and garnets there,...

Bump. Still for sale and still considering trades. PM me.

Water flow is key to the underflow sluices, followed closely by what you are using to trap the fines. Underflows have been around for a long time and the old ones you had to take apart the sluice completely to get to the bottom and couldnt really fix a plug up unless you completely disassembled the ...

Very nice! Same concept as some of the larger dredges which works great. Appreciate you sharing.
