In the expansive territories abundant with gold, Rick made a significant find at a newly claimed area. However, his elation quickly transformed into suspicion when he realized that some of the precious metal might be slipping away unnoticed from the back of the plant. To address this concern, Rick sought assistance from his close friend Chris Cruz, an adept welder, who constructed a makeshift contraption to capture the larger gold nuggets before they reached the shaker deck.
To witness the full process, you can watch the video:
Rick uncovers a valuable deposit of gold at his latest claim but becomes aware that they may be losing some of it as it escapes through the rear of the plant. Determined to tackle this issue, Rick enlists the help of his trusty friend Chris Cruz, who happens to be skilled in welding and fabrication. Together, they devise a do-it-yourself solution known as the “nugget trap,” a clever contraption designed to ensnare the larger gold nuggets before they reach the shaker deck.
The creation of the nugget trap involves carefully welding heavy-duty rails beneath the hopper, strategically positioned to capture the substantial nuggets that pass through. After dedicating four hours to their labor, Rick and Chris finally complete the makeshift trap, ready to put it to the test. With a sense of anticipation, Rick runs pay dirt through the system to gauge the trap’s effectiveness in capturing the valuable gold.
To their great delight, the nugget trap proves to be a triumph, successfully capturing an impressive 45 ounces of gold. Notably, the trap seizes nearly $12,000 worth of nuggets alone, contributing to a total value of $63,000.
Once the arduous task of constructing the impromptu “nugget trap” was completed, Rick’s anticipation to assess its capabilities grew exponentially. Without a moment’s delay, he fed generous amounts of lucrative pay dirt through the newly fashioned contraption. As the results unveiled themselves, a mixture of anxiety and elation surged through Rick and his team. The ad-hoc trap had successfully captured a notable volume of gold, including those elusive, valuable large nuggets. This profitable find, accumulating a staggering $63,000 in profits, represents a significant milestone for the gold-hunting crew, highlighting their resourcefulness and aptitude in their eternal pursuit of treasure.
