  1. Update, from what I have been told, "A total of 35,000 calls were received. 28,000 callers voted against. 7,000 voted for. I heard and saw Gov. Sandoval state, on local TV, that he would veto the bill. " Glad he got the message loud and clear!
  2. Just passing this along, I hope it is ok to leave here, I did not see a section where it would fit better.... ...for Nevadans..."Attention Nevadans... As you may be aware, the senate has passed SB 221, which is a massive infringement on our 2nd amendment rights - the right which protects all others. Now it goes to the Governor to sign, or veto. Governor Sandoval is seeking our will on this. He has set up a special hotline for this issue. All you have to do is call this number and push 2 to vote for a veto. It takes seconds to do. Please take a moment out of your day to protect your future. After voting, please pass this on to every Nevadan you know, and please tell them to act quickly. This issue may be decided today. The number is (775) 684-5670 Please call from each phone you have! Thank you for doing your duty as a free citizen".
  3. You're right, don't plan on finding a bunch of gold in UT while wielding a PI detector. I won't go as far as to say it is impossible, just not likely at all. You would do much better to purchase more traditional prospecting supplies due to the very small gold size. If you are planning on regularly visiting adjacent states and the trip is no problem, you might still consider the PI detector.
  4. Man, if you're not pleased with your results I am now accepting nugget donations.
  5. That's the kind of thing that sets off gold rushes :o Never seen anything quite like that, even in pictures Oh, read more of the post, maybe it's fake, it does look odd.
  6. 10+ kilo slabs in Western Australia?! Wow, I'd love to see a pic of one of those slabs. I always assumed the biggest nuggets were historically found in Victoria, the propaganda and hype must be working.
  7. A brunette, red-head and a blonde jumped out a burning skyscraper window, which was the slowest to hit the firemen's net below and why? Why the blonde gal of course, she got lost on her way down and just had to stop to ask for directions.
  8. Thanks for that added info. I don't have any claims, as you can probably tell, just passing along the link.
  9. If someone has a lode claim, fees did not go up and you have nothing to worry about, but fees for placers claims just went up. "Washington, D.C. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has issued a rule that changes the way maintenance fees for placer mining claims are assessed. The rule implements the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2012 (the FY 2012 Act) which requires the BLM to collect maintenance fees for placer mining claims based on the total acreage contained in the claim, rather than by the claim. Claimants will now pay the maintenance fee (currently $140) for every 20 acres or portion thereof, contained in the claim. For example, if a placer mining claim consists of 46 acres, the claimants will pay $420 for the maintenance fee – $140 for each 20-acre portion of the claim and another $140 for the remaining 6 acres. Under the old regulations, the maintenance fee would have been $140 for the entire 46 acres."... http://www.blm.gov/w...07_27_2012.html
  10. That must represent a lot of sweat and toil, I wonder what the sweat to gold ratio is? I'm sure mother nature made sure you earned every gram.
  11. Not meaning to be nosy, but what do the smaller nuggets weigh out to, just curious weight-wise about the small to big nugget ratio.
  12. The desert trumpet plant? http://www.delange.org/DesertTrumpet/DesertTrumpet.htm I've only been to Gold Basin once though
  13. Great story, that experience sounds like the second best thing to finding it yourself
  14. Added my prayer as well and will continue to remember to keep him in my prayers. Hope the doctors do a great job and that the recovery time is not prolonged and that you are granted a new lease with more time here.
