Arizona Gold Mine Reconnaissance Trip

@MineOperator is given a lead on an abandoned gold mine and mill site. Two of our loyal subscribers conducted some pathfinder work, gathered some intel on equipment and confirmed some old workings that may have potential.

Chad did the research and homework on the claim. We could not resist checking out the place with a tractor, conveyor belts, generators, air compressor, shaker table and a full ore bin. The tractor's key was taken the day before we got there, so someone is looking at the same place. The trails were reportedly impassable, so we took the minimum, expecting to hike in.

Fortunately, with a bit of work, we got in. We took about 100 lbs of samples to run back at the MineOperator millsite, but initial on-site panning of ore from the mine and mill site hoppers could have been better. Enjoy as Ron, Mr. Hollywood and Harry navigate this adventure.
