Small scale machine mining at Trout Creek Claim (nuggets!)

Small scale machine mining at Trout Creek Claim. Mike and I ran the fist run of the year with the wash plant and bobcat. We did not find a lot of gold, but we did find quite a few small nuggets (Pickers) It is fun running this small machine operation. However, small scale mines are not very profitable.
