Muppet Miners

Muppet Miners Welcome to Muppet Miners. We are Mark & Julie, our dogs Ace & Sam and now Missy, who are very new to the Gold Mining game out here in Far North Queensland.

We have no idea what we are doing but we are learning as we go. Follow us on our Journey

1st Bath day for the dogs.
Found it easier to do these 2 without Missy, 3 dogs with cows, monitors and pigs around would be chaos.

Trip into town yesterday we saw 2 freshwater crocodiles in the St George.
Julie Forrester has now banned me from swimming there 🤪

Going to be fun getting water tomorrow from Mitchell River as aparently we have some there too..

Well its been a long crappy wet season but we are back to work.
Threw together a sluice with what I had lying around and bought some dream matting.
Test day today to see if it works and after an hour we did get some fine gold.
Test the tailings tomorrow to see if we lose any, fine tune it then go gung ho.
So much easier than classifying first then panning. That hour all I had to do is pan one pan. 😃

More to come.

Happy Australia Day from all of us at Muppet Miners.

May your pans be full of gold
May your year be safe and healthy.

12 mile is flowing, we went down and found some random fat guy playing with my dogs. I blame the wife's cooking. I blame Corona and his love of cheese. Thank God we might not get to shop for awhile because that guy needs to go on a diet 🙄. Or and here me out, he doesn't get videoed or look in a mirror. (I blame the wife's cooking, way to good for likes of me..🥰)
The other 3 hairy things in the river are our best friends, our family and protectors unless we have butterflies, then all logic is out the window.
Bloody Horse flies are here. Although not as bad as last year.

Mum done her knee yesterday so one at a time for a swim.
Ole mate is loving the water..
