Excellent work! Just a little note: if you get the biggest used blood pressure cuff you can find, and gentle work it in behind that slab, with an extra long piece of tube, and a small bottle of compressed air, or a small bottle of propane, you can use the pressure to peel the slab off the face without being very near to it. The more used blood pressure cuffs you can tie into one line of pressurized air or propane and slip back there, the better your odds for a clean peel will be.

I really afraid to be pecking at it at all, I think I'll sharpen a piece of pipe about 12 feet long and work at it from the end. I've done some stupid things in the past but I'm afraid of that thing coming down on me especially since I am working alone.

Great stuff !!! yes i would definitely be dropping that slab somehow , crowbar from above , or maybe a Tire tube poked in behind it and then inflate it . But somehow you gotta make it safe before going much further . As Keith Bowen from Hardrock University always says , Happy prospecting and keep it safe out there , lol And he's not wrong either . Good luck with it . 👌👍 Cheers Ned ✌

Thanks Ned, I sometimes get a little careless but the video doesn't really show how bad this is, this thing could kill me. I'm not going to be able to leave that gold hanging there so I've got to get it safe somehow.

Very nice surprise video. I hope things are going well. If the gold you have been getting is near the entrance imagine what is inside. A long bar from above or a safe distance sounds ok maybe. You can’t spend it if you are trapped under it.

The upper adit was very short, it went in under this spot and is all collapsed, they took all the good stuff but there is some easy picking left on that wall if I can make it safe.

Yes Don, I believe a long pipe would be a good thing.

Yes rick, but there's not a lot of room to get out of the way. I'll really have to study it but I need to be able to get to that stuff.

I don't think it's going to come down that easy, but if it came down while I was under it I wouldn't be able to get out of the way. It may be another job for an excavator.

I think it'll peel off if I can stand back far enough but it may just keep peeling back after the big piece comes down. I may end up burying the whole vein.

Just get some Dexapan mortar. It’s used to crack rock because it expands as it cures and dries. Slow but very safe.

How are you doing? Is this your private property or is it a mining claim? Is there much private land in California that has gold or is it mostly on government lands?
@TheRedWingMine-pm3lz
Ай бұрын
I'm doing okay, the property is a patented mining claim so it's private. I know that most of the old mines in this area are patented but are developed into residential. .

@@TheRedWingMine-pm3lz here in South Carolina maybe only 15% of land that is owned by the government contains gold, the remainder is all privately owned land.
