won a bag of dirt

After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

won a bag of dirt

Post by Lrus007 »

been into geology and prospecting for a long time.
am a board member of our states prospecting club.
do not watch much video. but on youtube is a guy
jeff williams i have been watching. is a very good
teacher. watched him a few months then joined his
patreon for $120 a year. he has a drift mine. everything
that comes from it goes to patreons. has a monthly thing.
there are 10 bags of dirt from mine and a 11th that is say
his spitoon. you get 1 guess at 1 of the 11. who ever is
closest on weight with out going over. so 10 bags of dirt
and 11th is a metal detector. my guess last month was
1010.6 grams. on bag #4 it turned out to be 1047.5 grams.
somehow i won... so bag #4 and 1 oz silver bar.
most people are getting 3-4 grams of gold out of a bag.
i made this post so i can show off what i get when i
pan it out. :tup:
