  • We find relics I need you to identify, and we are prospecting for gold nuggets with an excavator. We use Metal detectors to find the gold. GPX 6000 and Gold Monster 1000 is how to find gold.

    Congrats you two ...that was an epic find ....we are gonna have to get an excavator so no more hard digging ....the largest one was very coarse so that mean the source is nearby and I bet drywashing that or running it through a wash plant will bring tons of fines.....good job and be safe out there in the heat .....hope you find the source and keep'em coming

    Yep. Shoe repair/cobbler. Sets, so the shoe is upside-down to work on the sole.
    Love the pry-bar.

    The artifact looks like a shoe form for making shoes. Strange it is out there! Its possible it helped leather shoes not shrink after being wet and maybe that is why they had it out there. Good finds! Hopefully there will be enough to pay for gas and groceries!!

    That's a shoe fork, for fitting on top of a cobblers bench post... Someone may have been using it to dig with, fastened to a wooden handle .. that's why it's broken.

    The one thing is the end of a Cobbler's Anvil. They had a tapered post and several different sized "feet" could be interchanged. It was used to make and repair boots, primarily to give a solid surface to drive in boot tacks...mine is in storage or I would send you a picture of a complete one.

    Small cast iron shoe repair form. One of several different size forms that would set on a vertical stand and the boot/shoe would be placed over it to help with nailing on soles and heals.

  • @markbrown6236
    @markbrown6236 Рік тому +1

    Could be the part of a hand powered drill that contacts your shoulder so you could put more pressure on the drill.

      The picks we use are usually home made or custom built. There are several pick manufacturers out there, hit up a local prospecting shop

    • @IBRAKEFORBEDROCK
      @IBRAKEFORBEDROCK  11 місяців тому

      That can be a complicated answer as there are so many variables to how far gold travels, and the introduction of new sources . But i can say with certainty that there is gold at the ends of this wash too. That requires a different process to mine though.

    Good morning, love your videos. I have a quick question for you. I am thinking of upgrading my drywasher to a 140s or the mid sized Royal. Just wondering what you might invest in. I have the small Royal and it has been a good unit but it can't handle volume. Need a little bigger unit.
    Thanks Red

    • @IBRAKEFORBEDROCK
      @IBRAKEFORBEDROCK  10 місяців тому

      When running properly, with the right material, a 140 can move some dirt. The 151 is even more efficient than the 140.
      If you really want a good investment, find an older style 151 that is not the “s” series. Keene overcomplicated the “s” builds with a bunch of unnecessary gimmicks
