Valentine's 1/24th shr for a 3hr/12 ton pit ore run @$100 is a GRRRREAT deal, Ron. They sell hand over fist, 2# ziplock baggies of pit run ore for $10 a pop and can't keep them in stock. A batch of Level 3/Kewiet [LVLT on Nasdaq] guys came through just yesterday for more purchases...seems panning Valentine's ore is how some of the crew relax out here in the hills during lunch and break time while laying all that conduit.
At $10 a 2# baggie, Roy's customary 12 ton run's value works out to $120,000 just for the raw ore in individual packaging.
If you do the work, a baggie at a time, 1/24 of that 12 ton run in 2# baggies will only set you back ONLY $5,000
So, YOU decide...is it a better deal to buy 1/24 of the final gold throughput & Roy will do the heavy lifting/work in 3 hours for $100
or
spend $5,000 and you do it ALLLLLL yerself, 2# at a time??
Hey, and they'll recycle the baggies for u...environmentally friendly folk like they are and all!!!
For those who don't know what a trommel is, here's a photograph with labels on various key components as well as a cut-away drawing on page of explanations and illustrations I built for them:

Or to put it into perspective, Ron, how fast can YOU shovel...gold ore that is?<g>
Oopps...looks like TROMMEL 1; Reece 0!
Oh, and don't forget to bring your own pan...I think they have some available, depends on the size of the crowd on any given day, tho'...
