Hydraulic Gold Mining
These ancient rivers were covered , not by dirt from whereever, but from volcanoes. The rock that covers these rivers is hard, andesite usually, and harder than the country rock around it and is now in place where the ridges are, the present day rivers having eroded around them. - od utuberine

This technology can increase the out put of Ocean Wave Action Generators . Big pipe funneled down into a small pipe driving generators or air pumps . - od mike peine
nice, always wounder d what exactly happened to hydraulic mining. - od metlmulisha
I remember seeing an old western movie featuring hydraulic mining. It must have been over forty years ago. The story line was very much as you described it. Valley people vs. miners. By the way, if that gold block is still hanging around I have a need for a good paperweight. - od Al Campbell
Hey, Reed don't know how to contact you directly but I'm thinking about those poor people in Oro Washington buried under that mud slide and how hydraulic mining could help them move thousands of tons of material. Maybe drain the muddy water into catch basins (multiple plastic lined dirt tanks) where the mud can settle down to the bottom and the clearer water can be recycled or drained to the nearby river. Do you know where they could find a water cannon? Just worried about those poor people up there. - od Bryant Grantham
The old timers must have known it would devastate people down below and even when the news came they did it anyways. I would have gone to war too. - od michael therrien

sue the gov since they are trying to control natures weather for hydraulic mining the planet - od Kurt Justin
I might feel differently about hydro mining if I lived anywhere close to it. When I was in my early 20's I worked several draglines/ strip-pits as a welder down in Texas (im from Oklahoma). A strip mine is like a rock quarry in the sense that it could be turned into a lake. Hydro on the other hand seems like it would just take years and years. I wonder though what could be done to replace dirt and nutrients over hydro sites? Flipping dirt up over the sediment and planting trees and such? - od Okie homa

Great video - od PhatH0tG33k
I found this rather enjoyable to watch and learn about history like this.
Way cool. Definitely educational and way worth the watch.. - od R Boyd
Wow thanks for the history class, never knew this form of gold mining was invented.. - od Rena Rosenquist
Actually there is a sluice box on the west bound side & it's part of the Hydraulic mine tour that is set up in the rest area. Watch the rest of my hydraulic mining playlist and you will see a lot more on hydraulic mining. This isn't just one video and there is at least one more to come after the first of the year sometime. - od Reed Lukens
Thank you so much for this, I too came across some old cannons on Hwy 80 up by GOLD RUN rest area, along with the old sluice box cut into the hillside than it would go to the holding ponds. Since than Cal-Trans has covered them up and put in a sewer clean out at the old ponds, My heart is broken. Your pictures are a god send, Just wish there was a way I could get a copy of some of them.. I've shared this on my face book page, just hope it opens somebody else's eyes as it has mine. Thank you. - od choochooman
