My neighbor the hawk Saturday night.
Sunday Morning at Site 1 looking West. One of the 5 gallon containers leaked 2.5 gallons, so I had to empty the van to dry it before sleeping that night.
I carted promising dirt from the mouth of the mine shaft in preparation for processing.
This is the view of the mine from the same location.
I carried all the dirt in the cut between the rock and bucket down to the recirculating sluice.
Main mine entrance. Note upside-down pyramid column on left.
The column (right) is only about 18" wide at the base. This deeper penetration connects to hole above.
A separate hole was dug to the right of the main entrance.
Sluice running.
Dissatisfied with the results, I drove the mile to Bickle Camp to confer with Mark. He recommended the northwest corner of Tip Top.
