    This demands so much of instinct and labour that it could be daunting to most except the most committed.

    Prospecting and Mining professionally like Chris and I do has so many variables to explore to be successful and make expenses, I will agree it is a little daunting to the beginnner or novice. We work our claim, and follow the gold wherever we need to. The video and pictures we post at this time are meant to show some of the work involved,and tools and equipment used to prospect and mine a claim. The beginning/novice prospector will generally get started at a recreational area, or maybe join one of the local prospecting clubs around their location. Once you have sucessfully panned some color, you may find the lure of gold will make you want to learn all you can about it. Find a nugget or two, and the work involved just doesn't seem that hard! We will be posting some more instructional videos. We like to video in real time, so the gold has to cooperate and be there when we dig one of those massive holes!!! Thanks for your comments!

    Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I;m glad you liked the squirrel story and love that you have one of your own. I tried to find the pack rat story and even looked at all the critter posts... maybe you can give me the date or the exact url for it. Hope you come back to read more. I post almost every day and think that reading about animals makes most people smile. I know I do!

HONEY-DO'S

My wife asked me one time if I would build a set of shelves in the living room to be used as a library and sewing center. After about 12 years of experiencing my failure as a carpenter, she still had faith in me. Maybe she thought if I keep trying, I'll get it right one of these times............................................. I tried to remind her of my past accomplishments, like the very first set of shelves I built. The shelves came out alright, but I didn't have a sawhorse, and the only room in the trailer that wasn't carpeted was the bathroom. I didn't want sawdust to get in the rug, so I used the John as a sawhorse. You guessed it, cut the John in Half!............................................ She wasn't too proud of me, but after all, I did get the shelves built, so she forgave me for my little mistake.. Besides, half a John is quite a conversation piece!...... The following Christmas she decided that I might be able to build some plywood sleighs for fru

Gold & Critters

The power of the mention of a gold discovery brings to mind the time we were on one of our early camping and prospecting trips to Lynx Creek, just out of Prescott,Arizona. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and the creek was lined with people enjoing themselves and panning along the banks and small pools of water. The soothing buzz of insects, chirp of birds, and clinking of tools against bedrock, was suddenly broken by an excited, "Gold, I found nuggets"! Heads turned up creek, and a few folks actually grabbed up their tools and headed for the "discovery". Of course, the "rush" was short lived, when the "prospector" turned out to be Jim, our 2 -1/2 foot tall, chubby, little three year old! He had just panned his first little pieces of gold and just had to let the world know about it! The rest of the afternoon and well into evening around the campfire was filled with joy and laughter as the story was told and retold, how little Jim had created s
