    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 18 1936 Last night John and me sat out by the outside cook stove warming hash and beans. We stayed out awhile and ended up deep in the cups. We talked of gold and riches. At some point I thought I heard something stir in the woods outside of camp. John said it might be a bear as we had...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 17 1936 Last night I heard the loud screeching of several bobcats close to camp. They eventually moved on. In the morning we talked with a prospector who was hiking along the creek and he stopped by our camp. He seemed like a good fellow and all packed up with gear and dreaming of a...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 16 1936 I talked with John at breakfast about the prospect of bringing in a third person to the claim. The digging is getting more difficult and as I plan to get much deeper I will require a person to help both in digging and gravel removal. I may also need to cut some timbers to...

    Gold Prospecting, Exploration, Mining Trommel Reviews

    Just need a pickup truck. Easy to set up. Nothing like using a skid steer to feed the beast.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 15 1936 Last night John and me sat around a campfire drinking whiskey and talking about many things. John retired to his tent after telling me stories of the great war and getting his fill of spirit. I sat and looked at the stars for a time when all of a sudden there was gun fire. This...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 14 1936 The weather has warmed considerably. The days are getting hotter but the nights are cold. There have so far been no more hooligans to disrupt us. Today I once again did the digging to get us a good direction and a descending trench heading along the fault towards the first dig...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 13 1836 Today I worked the gravels in a U pattern starting at my new hole and going east into the fault and slowly turning south back towards the kettle. Fractured rock is abundant but I haven't seen a sign of country yet. I've panned some of the dig to test and there is a lack of much...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    This is a very deep deposit. At least 50 - 60 ft deep or more. The original discovery was on an area of raised bedrock about that deep but the bedrock dropped off & most likely contains way more gold. If I told you how much gold was discovered in 1936 it would ruin the story but it was quite a bit.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    I click on a name & it pulls up their profile. Then I click the box at top for coversation but get a message there are no conversations. I couldn't even get a profile picture into my user name for some reason. Really wird website compared to the others I use.

    Doesn't seem to work for some reason. On other sites it's fairly simple.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    No. I don't know anything about metal detecting. We have had several small permits to run heavy equipment on several areas & found gold. The old mining operations there date back to 1858 & they used hydraulic mining. There were over one million ounces of gold taken out but they never finished...

    I own 300 acres of claims there. That is one of them.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    I think there is still quite a bit of gold at this location but it is deeper. The journal is based on a true gold strike and it was epic. I won't spoil the story.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 12 1936 I went up and dug gravels again while John worked the tom. I tried to work deeper into the fault but got stopped out by heavy boulders. Then I decided to move 10 feet to the north onto the buried area. This required heavy work on my part and I busted the handle on my pick and...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    MAY 9 1936 Last night's watch was quiet again. I am hopeful the hooligans are long gone. I got an early start at the crack of dawn working the dig site. John was finishing up some panning leftover from yesterday and I got 10 buckets to get him started and then came back up to the dig. We...
