  1. Our company developed a Post Hole Digger that uses a ShopVac to suck up the material that the Bull Digger loosens around rocks when digging a hole. To our surprise Gold Prospectors are using our product hooked to a dredge or high bankers so they don't have to kneel or lay down in the creek. We would like to have our product certified with several Prospectors Group. We have a few evaluation units at cost plus freight if you send us a review of the product with video or photo to use at our website www.bulldigger.com See a video of what our product was invented for at YouTube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhFf1j3INiA e-mail me back if you want an eval unit for testing and review. One Gold Prospecting Group here on the East Coast tested our unit and ordered 16. Let us know what you think.

Greed and the miner

I prospect 2 or 3 times per week. Every new spot has it's challenges and rewards...some more golden than others.
I was working a spot last Sunday and found an area with a seam of well compacted gravels resting right on a bedrock shelf. The shelf was about 10 feet long. I started working on the right side moving towards the center of the streambed. The gold was getting progressively larger and chunkier as I dug to my left.
I processed 4 half buckets and was amazed at the richness of my find. (see pics)

It was getting dark so I left 3 feet of the shelf undug planning to return there at my next opportunity.
Monday my wife and I had errands in town so we stopped by the shop in Jamestown to check our inventory. A miner acquaintance
came by the shop and, of course, the conversation turned to prospecting. I showed him the vial from the small amount of material I processed at the new spot and he was duly impressed. I left him chatting with my wife and worked some inventory at the far end of the shop.
Tuesday I had an appointment so I didn't get back to my spot until Wednesday morning.
I was packing my equipment down to the creek when out of the woods steps my acquaintance. Needless to say, I am surprised. I am even more surprised when I go to my hole and find it cleaned out to the end of the bedrock ledge. This weasel had wormed the exact location of my find from my wife and hit my spot for all the easy gold. I had done the surveying of the area, sampled many spots and finally found the paystreak and this slimeball slithered in to high grade my spot. To add insult to injury, he pulls a vial out of his pocket with the two largest nuggets I have seen come from this area and shows me the spot in my now expanded hole that he found them.
