[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 92017, member: 2152"] Turns out my mate who does folding has had a bit of a downturn in business so he's taken on a paid position so the folding will have to wait. On the upside got the ugly box out for a test run, as expected she had some issues but overall the design is still a step in the right direction I felt, ran a few buckets for not much and finally hauled down and the flexi tub full of material which has been on the ute for nearly a fortnight, been dreaming of what might be, picked up maybe half a gram including 4 little specis so I'll have to put the shovel back in there. Went to a place to dig a couple of buckets on the advice of an old contact panned out 2 duffer pans then a pan with 30 colours not much body but not bad going for a brand new spot, good gold always occurs in the most likely places. Walked up and down and found two more white clay intrusions but it was too dark to get any sampling done, all within a 40 m stretch about 3 kms from home so prospects are good. Time to spend some time refining the banker so I can put some cubics through. [/QUOTE]
