Parker’s team is working on a second wash Plant, with the final piece of the puzzle being the connection of the water line at the wash Plant and the water pump. After three years of waiting, they are finally washing gold on Ken’s ground. Despite some initial concerns about the plant sliding off the bank, Parker manages to strengthen the pad with rock. The team also weighs the gold from Big Red and Slucifer, with Big Red producing gold worth nearly $240,000 and Slucifer worth nearly $197,000.
