Ole grubstake Gold

« on: October 17, 2007, 04:21:34 AM »

Hi ya'll------------Just got my plan of operation approved by BLM and I start major excavations on the claim this next week. Will be moving the old tailing piles and going to bedrock. Here are a few pieces I found a few weeks ago with my Whites MXT and then cleaned in HF acid to their present state. These tailing piles have never been disturbed since the 49'ers.

Just pulled a piece out of the acid that I cleaned yesterday. Decided to leave quartz on it. Makes a nice specimen that way. The HF acid does amazing work on these pieces.

Hey there you sexy, handsome, beast!

Do you think you could find the time to provide us with a before and after shot of your acid process?

Cheers!

Here is a new pice I took out of the HF today. It weighs just over 1/2 an ounce at 17 gms. I found this the other day when I fell and broke my GMT in two in a ravine. Went on searching with the MXT and the new 12 in spider coil. It was at about 7 inches on bedrock. Wrenched my knee and back, but you can't stop me with that.

Here is the specimen that I show in an earlier post on Oct 22nd in my sons hands after a soak in Hydroflouric acid to clean and expose the gold.
