Mercury is awesome i was fascinated by it as a 15 yr old...then along came weed lolI would too. I would do what ever it took. Whatever method that works! Whatever they allowI got the fever bad!
I think @Grandpapy knows this(I think I told him PM): I lived in Almaden when I was younger. Almaden is where most of the mercury(quicksilver)was mined, for use in all the hard rock mining in the mother load.
Now I help clean it up from the rivers while we are sluicing

I'm game to come down there and do some searching with you.We are getting ALMOST pickers
Supposedly, I keep hearing, dredging will soon be allowed again here in Ca. Not sure if it's only going to be on BLM/federal land, but I hope so either way. Fun shit.

this setup is not that exciting unfortunately. We are on 5 acres with a creek(dry right now) that runs through the entire property. We(my buddy lol)classify it down at the creek, and then brings back up the buckets to work on my recirculating sluice setup. It takes a long time to run the material this way, but it gives my buddy something to do, now that We can't grow outdoor anymore there.
If we ever have a regular winter again, we are going to setup a high-banker the following spring. If we do that, I will keep you in mind. Promise.

I cannot remember exactly how many tons of Mercury they estimate is laying at the bottom of SF Bay, but it was staggering. Washed down the rivers during the California gold rush. They washed entire mountains into the rivers & purged the gold with mercury....Meh, I was growing weed already when I was 15. I coudn't have given a shit about mercury back then though

Nasty shit for sure!I cannot remember exactly how many tons of Mercury they estimate is laying at the bottom of SF Bay, but it was staggering. Washed down the rivers during the California gold rush. They washed entire mountains into the rivers & purged the gold with mercury....
I use to creek walk in mercury infested creeks daily when I was younger. Fish are contaminated in all the reservoirs around there.
And then the miners! Mercury miners and gold miners.They got fucked up big time. Poor guys

In school around there, they taught us some interesting things about the ovens they used to capture the mercury from the cinnabar ore. They use to fuck up the town right below them at first. THEN they realized that it's not good to inhale the fumesmakes cycinide leaching look like a eco revolution
