The Outings Committee, Chuck and Sheryal, Charlene and Fred and many hardworking helpers, did a wonder-ful job this past Saturday at our club’s annual potluck Spring picnic on the beautiful Betty claims. What a set-ting for a picnic and camping, tall pines, running creek water and chirping birds. We had more than 100 guests and members enjoying the weather, food and games. We also recruited 10 kids to help our club achieve its commitment to being good stewards of the land. With the Stewards of the Land initiative, we encourage our members to haul out more trash than they hauled in, leaving the grounds in better shape than when we ar-rived. To participate, please take a picture of you or your family picking up trash. Submit the picture to our club e-mail with member number, date and claim information. Member participants will then have their name placed in our VIP gold drawing for a chance to win a nugget. The attached picture shows a group of kids who were recruited to pick up trash.

RRPC'S SPRING PICNIC VICTORY What a day! Everyone who attended this year’s Spring Picnic, has a new spring in their step and a smile on their face! And, a nugget in their pocket! Our awesome boards 50/50 drawing made it possible. The special attraction; the first annual Board Member Panning Contest was neck to neck competition for Karl Weber, Les Glover, Bob Hood, Lonnie and Laurel Wickershein and Terry Wilson. All of us watching were on the edge of our seats, as Karl Weber and Lonnie Wickershein panned off for the grand prize; a special metal art prospector donated by Chuck and Sheryal with real Turkey Creek gold in his pan. Setting the excitement of finding those bb’s; the women’s and men’s Panning contests filled the area with anx-ious members for a chance to win that grand nugget! This year was a spectacular competition between a mar-ried battle of sexes, Fran and Suzie Carena, Fran winning the men’s panning contest and Suzie winning the women’s panning contest. It was so much fun sharing the good competitiveness and love of these two mem-bers, with Fran as our grand champ! Joyfulness and laughter always come from kids and grandkids as they gathered to participate in being Stewards of Land, each one getting to draw a nugget from the box, adorned a smile you could see for a mile. Spirits lift-ed high, each one tried to get that gold pan in that big tub. Amazing the gracious effort, the young can exhibit, but prizes always bring relief. But wait! More fun and laughter that followed with our board members Bob Hood and Les Glover as targets for the Minute to Win It Game, throwing colored ping pong balls in a basket. Good sports, Bob and Les! Everyone enjoyed a wonderful variety of Potluck dishes and delicious desserts at high noon. Sitting and sharing old and new memories, old and new friendships, under the pines and a cool breeze, makes life good! Pan tossing into a tub is like throwing a Frisbee, but isn't as easy as you would think. Hand, eye, and tub don't always cooperate. But, we did have Daniel Sullivan and Dawn Kaupp as men's and women's champs! And Jon Benson was the Kids Pan Toss champ! The evening campfire and fun game with prizes, topped off this year’s fabulous awesome 2017 Spring Picnic. Thank you to all members who came out to participate in the contests and potluck and to those who volunteered in every way -- you were needed. Your support is very appreciated! A Great Big THANK YOU goes out to these members for their great effort and support at this year’s Spring Picnic.

Setting Your Sluice: The Angle of the Dangle

I'm often asked, ‘How do I set up my sluice box cor-rectly?’ The answer is not easily explained in a five-minute conversation. So, 1et's start by breaking the question down into two parts: 1.) At what angle should my sluice box be set? 2.) What should I be using in my box? Answer 1 Let's start with, `At what angle should my sluice box be set?' There are several factors to consider here. The old adage of one inch per foot of sluice box is a good starting point but may not always be the optimum angle. Take into account the flow of the water in the stream where you will be going. If it's during a heavy spring runoff, you're most likely going to have a strong, fast-running current. When this is the case, you'11 want less angle to slow the flow and increase your chances of capturing fine gold. You want to have just enough drop to keep your box. clean of the waste material, but still catch the gold. On the flip side, when you're in middle of the summer trickle, it may be hard to get enough flow through your sluice box, thus requiring a little more than one inch an- 91e of the box to keep it clean of waste material. When in a low water situation, you'11 need to capture the water and put the pressure of the stream through your box whenever possible. To do this, I usually build a wing dam across the width of the stream. Next, I cut open large, plastic garbage bags down one side and across the bottom and open them up. Then, I lay these across the inside of my wing dam and weigh them down with a few rocks. Lay just the lip of the bag across the flume opening on your sluice. This will create more pres-sure and require less angle. Almost every drop of water coming downstream is now coming through your sluice - not around or under it. Always roll up and pack out the trash bags, which can be used a few times before you dispose of them. During times of low water, you can also change to a narrower sluice. I run my large 12-inch wide sluice box in normal and high water and change over to my six-inch or eight- inch wide boxes for lower water levels. When setting up your sluice in the stream or riv-er, you may not always find that sweet spot to set your box. The river may be flowing high, or the bot-tom could be covered in large cobble , so you'll have to toss a few rocks and make some adjustments to get the sluice box level from side to side to get the angle needed. I like to use a sluice stand.

My sluice box attaches to it, and it has adjustable legs for the uneven bottom. My company builds one that is adjustable both in wid.th and length to accom-modate any style box. It has sliding adjusters to hook onto your sluice box and hold it down, eliminating the hassle of try- ing to find a rock wide enough to set on top of your box. Note to Self: In fast-flowing water, use a rock anyway - maybe two - to prevent sluice box from tak-ing scenic trip downstream without me. Another way to help keep your sluice box free of waste material during low water is to classify out the larger material first. Most times, I will run my mate-rial through a 1/4-mesh screen, or a 1/8-mesh screen if I'm at the beach and know 1'11 be dealing mainly with smaller gold. Always run a small bit of material first, and then make any adjustments needed. If the pressure of the water is so strong that it blows all of your material right out the end of the box, use less angle. On the other hand, if the material hangs in the box., give it a bit more angle till the sluice starts clearing itself. Answer 2 Now, let's talk about Question 2, `What should I have in my sluice under the riffles?' There are a few options here, and almost everyone has their own opinion. I have several sluices set up for different types of prospecting. In other words, the sluice I use at the beach for fine gold recovery is not the same one I use at the river, where I often shovel raw, un-classified material directly into the sluice box. V-matting versus carpet: `Should I use V-matting or carpet? And, should I use it under my Miners Moss?' Deep V rubber matting is preferred by many prospectors for its ease of cleanup, and the fact that they can see the gold when its glued in the flume ar-ea of the sluice. Some say carpet is better, but it will ``hold'' onto the finer gold particles when wet during cleanup. Dry your carpet, then snap it over a gold pan later if you wish, but whatever you do, don't heat your carpet over a campfire and risk burning your carpet and panning the ashes. Today's carpets will bum up into a little black ball of goo. Myself, I pre-fer the deep V-matting over carpet. Miners Moss: This also is a personal preference. When using Miners Moss, you'1l end up with almost three times the amount of concentrates than if you don't use it. If I'm not classifying my material at the river, I’ll use Miners Moss, which will help catch the gold, and let the larger waste material run over the top and out of the box.

Page 8: Presidents Corner - roadrunnergold.com

May 2017 Page 8

I’ll also use it when I'm at the beach mining for the super fine gold. Note: Most Miners Moss has two weaves, a larger weave on one side that should be used when larger gold is present, and a tighter weave on the back side that I use at the beach or anywhere I find all fines. When using Miners Moss, use it to your ad-vantage. I recommend using expanded metal over the top to create even more small pockets to help the fine gold drop out. When I'm at the beach, I stack two different-sized types of expanded metal on top of the Miners Moss. I use a 1/2- inch expanded met-al over the top of some 1/8 expanded metal to create even more traps for the fine gold.

Once the heavier material works its way through the expanded metal into the Miners Moss, there is abso-lutely no way for anything to dislodge it until you remove the riffles and pull everything out during your cleanup. If you're not using Miners Moss, I would still recom-mend using some expanded metal over your carpet or V-matting . Just remember that the secret to fine gold recov-ery when using a sluice is all in the angle of the dan-gle.

Fire Danger Starts Early This Year

The heavy snowfall and rain last winter and early spring brought a much-needed water-

shed to our claims, both the desert and the national forest. Members were excited about all of

the “new gold” being washed into gold bearing areas.

However, there is a side effect that is not a positive one. Heavy rainfall in our desert

and Bradshaw claims has resulted in grassland that is in some cases waist-high. This is particu-

larly dangerous as the temps rise to 100 and above. Sunset Point, a well-known rest stop on the

way to our claims, is a prime example of the imminent fire danger. One can see miles and

miles of dry grassland that could go up with just a spark. At publish time of this issue, fires

Sawmill and Bush Highway rage on, fueled by high winds.

Do not wait for the BLM and Forest Service to put restrictions on the land. Rather, we

are asking members to be proactive, douse all campfires completely out, do not travel off road-

ways, as a spark from under your vehicle could ignite the brush. Be careful smoking. No butts

thrown out the window, etc. It is a good idea that you check with the appropriate agencies be-

fore your trip to prospect! Ignorance is not a defense for breaking fire restrictions. Your Club

will do its best to keep you informed of restrictions and closures this summer. Be safe and have

fun! - Bob Hood
