This video was taken somewhere in the middle of the season. I was going for an afternoon ride on Dave's loader as he moved the "tailings" of the processed material out of the way. Uncle Mike is loading the gravel or "pay-dirt" as we call in the video, into the trommel where the material is separated in a giant spinning cylinder. The smaller, heavier gold dust, particles, and nuggets are deposited into the sluice box and caught by small "traps" or metal ripples and by mats known as "miner's moss."
