Tom Ashworth's Hobbies
I created the original Tom Ashworth’s Prospectors Cache in 1994 and it was one of the first gold mining sites on the internet. As I have gotten older, my hobbies have expanded. I hope to share with you all the knowledge I have gained over many years as a prospector, treasure hunter, and pool player.

Dragline and Bucket Dredges for Gold Mining
The dragline is faded away from being used. Why? They were very complicated and made it difficult to find experienced operators, operating expenses were high, could not work on all ground, and they limited digging depth capability (they could only use one-third of the boom length).
Still to this day they fascinate me. I enjoy visiting old dragline and bucket dredge sites.
