    • @VoGusProspecting
      @VoGusProspecting  4 роки тому +3

      Nothing.
      It simply turned the water to running cement that's still covering the farm land because it's like cement when it drys.

    Great video on one of the most important gold prospecting lessons. Sometimes you just have to move along until you can find a spot. As J always tells me, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it. We have that tiny 400- gold here. Getting the equipment adjusted to catch the super fine gold is like learning to drive a standard transmission, but water flow is the clutch. It's a very difficult task to be sure, but fun in a woo hoo I learned a new trick sort of way.
