  1. Ron, I enjoyed the video a lot, it brought back memories. I passed through Trona in about ’59 as a kid with my dad in route to a camping trip in the Hunter Mountain – Saline Valley area. I liked Trona and wished I could live there. Call me crazy? -Jim
  2. SRFlynn, I live in Colorado and have beep'd here for two years with a Minelab Eureka Gold detector. While I have located hardrock in situ deposits with a trace of gold, I have not yet found a single nugget here. I am still having fun, though. My advice is to try another state, maybe AZ, CA or NV. Hope this helps, and good luck.
  3. Ray, Thanks for this report. Your posts are consistently the best, IMHO. Not only are there pics of the pretty gold, but there's always narrative or more pics of the geography and esp. the geology. I REALLY appreciate it all. Cochetopa/Jim
  4. Rob, Thank you for taking the time to write up and post your story with photos. I enjoyed it a lot and especially so because your wifey (to be) was along and participating with you. You're a lucky guy to have a lady like that.
  5. Crazy Pete, I envy you and your friends. I like your gold sniffin' dog, too. Can we see more, please? -Cochetopa/Jim

  9. Dear Mrs. Slayer, Thanks for going out with your ol' man. I tremendously enjoyed reading his write-up of your trip, and I'm thrilled you both came back home with gold. Keep at it!!! Sincerely, Cochetopa/Jim
