The Holloway Bar Gold Miners - Part 2

The story continues in part 2... Scott & Christina get busy repairing the winter's damage at camp and getting things ready for another season of living "off the grid" in the northern wilderness. But before Scott & Del can mine, they have a mountain of repairs to the gold plant to complete... Will the shaker plant run again or was last season the end of it? When will they start mining? Will they find gold?

You'll have to watch to find out...

What exactly is the steam engine? I was interested in the manufacturer, make and model. Interesting stuff there.

@MrOldclunker

Are you referring to the "stream engine"? There is no steam engine on site...

The stream engine is the heart of the Holloway Bar power system - and is a micro-hydro water turbine from Energy Systems & Designs (they should show up on a google search).

You can find a bit more information about the camp infrastructure in Part 4 of "A Gold Miner's Dream - The Holloway Bar Story" video also online here...

I hope this helps.

This is like the week before the season begins. I'm all raring to go and the gate is locked.

Awesome, we all look forward to seeing the hole, the conglomerates, and the glittering pans a plenty.

@Redpaw2011 Hopefully you found part 3 of the video - with more mining and some good camera shots...

[hollowaybaral]

Thanks for the nice comments!  Hang in there, guys... Part 3 is in the works and should be up in about a week or so...

Any gold in Minnesota? We have a ton of iron, and other indicators, just no gold yet?

One of the best mining videos in ages, I felt like I was part of the crew watching the steps you took and the setup. Please make more videos, they are great.

5 star review.
