Dredge Permit arrived today...

[Ron_L]

Holy Crap, I have a permit to dredge as of April 1st to July 31st every year until 2017!!!
In Washington State I've not been able to dredge my claim before July 1st since 1999

In 2009 they changed the in water timing for my claim to August 1st and all I could get was July 1st back then...
It's going to be sweet dredging in water that is actually moving fast enough to wash away my tailings

I have a new engine, pump and 263 compressor paid for and on the way...

Whoo Hoo

Got a question from a Gold Show dredge customer last weekend...that being "Can you dredge in California on patented land"? He owns 26 acres of land on which a gold bearing river cuts thru his property. Interested to hear opinions. Thanks

A little whiskey and you'll be all right!
Just go for it, first they complain about not being able to dredge, then when they finally can the crying starts because a measly 6 or 7 feet of snow.

DJR, you're right...
The 38°F water will seem almost tropical compared to the 25°F air temperature
I went to see about getting some whiskey, but I couldn't find any...
you must have drank it all this morning
