How to Mine The GOLD BUG Lode
You can mine this claim year round. The area just south of Garderville NV doesn't get much snow-fall, and the seasonal creek nearby the claim provides water constantly. To start mining this claim there 3 methods could be used to start running tonnage, if you want to scale-up beyond hands and pans:
- Dry-washing or hauling in water is going to be your best option!
- Metal detector for pickers along the ravine, high banks from dozer cuts
- Water recirculating sluice/trommel system
- Haul ore to an off-site mill
- Contact me for more ideas on how to produce GOLD on the claim
In my opinion, a dry washer would work wonders for this claim for a number of reasons. Hauling water is always a pain, and with a gas-powered dry washer you can simply run material without the need of water-heavy sluice units.
