[QUOTE="GoldenRivett, post: 394736, member: 11084"] River was too high to get into the holes I wanted to try, didn't check the nut on my yabby pump and third test in a boil hole saw flanges go rushing down the river! Damn it! Novice error not checking the tightness of the nut. Oh well, it will probably still be there in the hole when the water goes down. Tried a few test digs where I thought the river had flowed, got some small results (not picture worthy). Lessons - 1. big flood events needed to move the sediment load. 2. Gold goes down and you need the right equipment to get to it if it is underwater. 3. Check your equipment!!!!!! 4. It was all still better than a great day at work. :) [/QUOTE]
