Oregon Gold Trommel - See the Gold at the End!

Video and Picture roll of our Trommel Operation in Oregon. We were prospecting to find a rich deposit...we spent $5000 looking, to only recover 2 oz's of gold. Unfortunately the good gold seems to be at around 30 feet deep and will be too costly to dig it out with the excavator/trommel method. Perhaps we will drop a 6" dredge in the hole for lower running cost and see how it yields at shallower depths...We did find a fairly rich flood deposit at the 5-6 foot depth. Below that was very low grade gold to the 15-17 foot depth. ~ Music supplied by Apple Computer iMovie Software ~
