    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    No offense meant by leaving but the forum here is low view & little to no interaction to have the journal posted. Just not a good fit. Cheers.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    JUNE 18 1936 We are all happy miners. We took three ounces from what I now am fairly certain is another kettle. I don't think we have even scratched the surface. This one appears to be much larger than the first but we still have no knowledge of its depth. Only God knows what may lie...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    JUNE 17 1936 Another ounce in our till from yesterday's haul. We are all working our system now like a well oiled machine. The days are long and hot and it seems I never can have too much water. The kettle is now dug several feet below country level and we move the gravels at a steady pace...

    I'm on the fence about continuing to post this journal here. May give it a little while to see. Happy Thanksgiving.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    JUNE 16 1936 We got one ounce from the 115 buckets on country rock and another one half from the 140 buckets of supposed kettle gravels. Seeing as this one half ounce is at the top layer and weakest part of a pay channel this holds great hope to us. Could this be another big strike? Will...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    JUNE 15 1936 One more ounce of gold was produced from the dig yesterday. We have dropped off the raised country rock and I have dug south picking it up again. We took 115 buckets of the country and ran out of pay. The area between the two lifted country slabs is about 8 to 10 feet in...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    JUNE 14 1936 The weigh gave us two ounces. The gravels in the trench are steady pay and the work is not too awfully bad. We will stay with this plan and drive the trench deeper until we find country or another kettle. The days are getting quite hot with temperatures in the 90 degree area...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    JUNE 13 1936 This morning we took Will up with Jacob and me to the dig site and worked the trench. It was a pleasure to get back into those gravels. We were also visited by two deputies who were investigating John's beating of the bounty hunter. Just what I didn't need or want to deal...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    June 12 1936 We didn't do any digging as far as buckets of pay go yesterday. We worked at widening out the top area and ramping the trench for preparation of working there again. I finally gave in to my crew and tomorrow we will resume the glory gravels. I took John up to the site along...

    More pictures. The old White military truck abandoned near the dig site. The picture of the creek is where the crew camped and set the tom to wash gravels.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    Posting some pictures of the area this journal is based on. The journal is based on an old government report that I came across when researching our 300 acres of mining claims. The old White military truck found abandoned near the dig site gave me the inspiration for the charactor Sarge. The...

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    Thank You for reading the journal. I will post some pictures of the area the journal is based on in a bit. It is in the Sierra Nevada Mts of northern California.

    Lost Gold At The Dead Man's Mine

    JUNE 11 1936 Yesterday's 260 buckets were a big disappointment to us all and yielded barely an ounce. The ground continues to be fickle. Just when I think we are once again glory bound we have a light weigh. I know that one ounce out of that volume of gravel is very rich. However, we all...
