Classic Videos – Northern Miner
This week we look at a little mining by getting on board with the McDame Creek Placer Miner… Then it’s on to a couple of timelapses from the Holloway Bar cameras. Enjoy this week’s videos!
Al arrived at the Holloway Bar placer gold mine with a video camera a few years back – and Scott led him through a day’s mining and explained what he does and how it all works. He fed a bunch of gold-bearing gravel into the Wizard with the excavator, and then shut down and pulled the top nugget catch apart to wash the fine gold out the carpets. Once you’ve got some gold concentrate, you just have to pan a little bit of it so see if it does contain any treasures! Come along with us on our Holloway Bar placer mining adventure and see if you have what it takes to be a “McDame Creek Placer Miner”…
