Yea, the shows about the show are getting pretty repetitive. One a season is fine, but I think at least half of this season has been these pointless rehashes or behind the scenes.
Has Toad recovered anything from Quartz Creek this year? At what point does that crew just start hand panning all the soil they've stockpiled since their "prototype" trommel is obviously not recovering the gold being put into it.
I've been wondering that this whole time. If it were me I'd be panning all day instead of sitting around and pouting. You know those tailings from that crap trommel are full of gold
I too have wondered why they aren't just trucking dirt from quartz to indian river. They could run dirt night and day then with no worry about exhausting a cut before a new one was open.
Neither of the hoffman operations has equipment to move material or overburden long distances. For that they would need a haul truck, or at the very least an articulated truck like Parker has. With our knowing specifically, there could also be road restrictions, I would doubt their roads are suitable for hauling high weights repeatedly over them. Even if it were just a matter of crossing a highway the state would probably shut down the operation. There is also a matter of cost a small haul truck burns 20+ gal/hr

Its only a couple miles between sites, they can transport with existing equipment.

Ok - correct, permissable, or acceptable; meeting standards.
I still dont understand why Todd has yet to get a drill, like Tony says drill holes drill holes drill holes. Even if they could not use it for the whole year, they could turn around and least It to other calm owners or other mining teams.
I'm not familiar with the regulations where Toad is but in NC you need to be licensed with the state to operate a drill rig. A small track mounted geoprobe rig goes for $50 - $100 K. I'm guessing that since Toad couldn't get a workable trommel at Quartz Creek, he probably couldn't handle a drill rig.
I'll see Todd on the river here in a few weeks. Anything you guys want me to yell at him from my boat?
