  1. Great video, since those nuggets were so deep in the crevice would it be worthwhile to sweep up the dirt you dug through and pan it out bach at the shop. I've always wondered if there is any good color associated with a desert nugget Wyndham
  2. Jim, I too live out my prospecting wishes by way of these forums and youtube. Age and circumstnces keep me from being the tramp miner with a ML7000 living out of a 4x4. Had the 7000 come out 20 years ago I would have had the energy to go for it. You though, have lived a great mining/prospecting life that few ever get a chance to even imagine. Tell you what, let's get a ML 7000 and find a time machine, set it back about 20+ yrs and we'll have a ball, just don'r remember where I put that time machine Hope the hip is working out well for you. I had mine about 3 yrs ago and glad I did. All the best Jim Wyndham
  3. Here's a forum about gold refining. They're some threads about refiners good and bad, might help, don't know Wyndham Gold Refining Forum.com • Index page
  4. I'm planning a trip this summer to the gold country/ old rt 49 around the Don Pedro reservoir around mocasin flats in calif. Back in the day before the lake level was raised I found a small gold patch but at very low gold prices it was just a panning exersize. If I take my md and check out some of the low water areas, is that allowed or forbidden in the public places. There's boating camping,etc but I was wondering about detecting. thanks Wyndham
  5. yea, I just got that but the home page still comes up.Maybe a software update that has not finished. don't know Wyndham
  6. Say do you think the solor max is adding to the noise. Wyndham
  7. Hey Chris, check your URL in the detectoraid link under your sig. Just thought you would want to know it's broken. Wyndham
  8. Nice Nugs, I seem to remember a show on TV about underwater hydro-thermal vents that put out minerals like Manganese as Black Smokers. This also made me think about the idea that some have about growing gold in this hydro/geo thingy. There was a fellow that had a gold mine in Southern Calif where Manganese is mined. After he died, BLM dozed the claim. Just a few thoughts about the stuff. Wyndham
  9. I have quoted and made bold the main differences between us. I lived in the south during one of the most cruel times for blacks in this country. As a white young man in that culture I soon learned the code words for controlling the black population for the economic benefit of some white "Good ole boys" to the detriment of the poor both white and black. You may well believe what you are saying is valid, many in the south believed that the poor and the blacks have to be kept "In there Place". Today that thinking has transcended color and economic boundaries to establish an elite group that wants to protect the environment against the unwashed masses that are not capable of respecting the "pure" federal lands that this group of self designating enlightened protectors are. These has become the "Good ole Boys" of today and taking cues from the past. One can not enjoy that which is fenced off by laws meant to divide the people from there consitiutional declared use of our lands. These are not federal lands but the peoples lands that are to be fairly administrated by a fair and benign government. Look at the Bureau for Indian Affairs as an on going example of political corruption from it inception You most likely don't see this threat, just from the comments you have posted. You may also think that those of us that support the free unencumbered, RESPONSIBLE us of OUR lands want to rape and pillage because we can't SEE your POV. We, as a nation, have allowed a political group to be the high priest of ethics and use of our lands, though the name of science. Now before you think that I'm not aware of the benefits of science, I am but there are people that will pervert anything for their own personal benefit, as stated above. Please respect that we, who differ so much from the land grab politics are as concerned for the welfare of our country and lands as you. Because it is desert today and as beautiful as it is does not mean that it can not be properly used. But even at the worst, if all hell breaks loose and most of mankind die from its own hands or by a meteor, the earth will survive. If it doesn't, that's ok as well because we did not make this world and at best, we are just brief sojourners here. Let those that want to enjoy it do so, but not at the bequest of the secular priest of the EPA or other federal agency that wishes power and money from us, which when you boil it all down, it's always about the money and power.

  10. I heard about 2 politician kayakers out on the lake one day talking about the need to protect the water and the fish, birds, gators and all like that. It's the lake that's between Barstow Ca and the upper end of Nv 10's of thosands of sq miles, I'm sure you know the one i mean. There are some of the best examples of shallow lake/inland sea ecosystems found anywhere in the Pre Cambrian world. Well the fellows tried and got other Eco- sensitive folks together to protect the environment then one day when out on the lake enjoying all the beauty and eco diversity of the lake, all of a sudden a whoppen ass bird swooped down and eat them for lunch, that was awhile back. Not too long ago their bones were found with a stone tablet clutched in there hands that they were working on, it had the title Pre Cambrian lake Protection act and the outline for this very worthwhile piece of legislation carved in stone. Well a very well meaning politician came upon this stone tablet and changed the title and a few other words and it is now the Calif Desert Protection Act. The earth changes all the time. Seas come and go. Deserts change and reappear. We do not control this earth but politicians, like reptiles, remain the same forever. It's just a story, I'm just telling you what I heard, no truth in it at all, or.. .Just watch out or some whoppen ass bird might come back and get hungry. Wyndham
  11. As we walk down any street on any day we pass by heroes unsung. These are people that have paid prices far higher than most have paid and go about their daily lives shunning the light of fame but with out them none would have the life we all enjoy in our great country, past and future . No way to really say thanks but God Bless, Wyndham
