The
Amador County Fair in Plymouth, CA generally runs the last week in July and has
many attractions. It is one of the truly old-time fairs with livestock, rides, main fairway, old engines, a running sawmill, plus many additional attractions. One of those attractions
is the operation of an entire ore processing set up which includes bringing the ore out of the ground, sending it through a rotary 10-stamp mill that crushes the ore down
to the consistency of sand and finally the shaker table which gathers any small pieces of gold missed by the amalgam table.
The following
is a blow by blow description of the operation of this 10-Stamp Rotary mill at
the 2018 Amador County Fair.
