Hiya folks! I was wondering about ethical recovery. I was pondering originally how many buckets of concentrate is ethical to bring home to work. That led to the pondering of ethics while prospecting in general. I believe this is a very important subject to touch on because it effects us all. The more damage we do to our rivers, lands etc., the more negatively others will see us. Although to some this may seem like common sense, there are those that don't give a flying you know what. I am a firm believer in preserving the land as close to as pristine as I found it. (Minus a little concentrate). So is there any advice you can give to those of us that are just starting out?

BTW, one trick I learned years back is using a funnel and soda pop bottles. The bottles are plastic and light. Rinse them out good and use them to hold the concentrates.
This is great when hiking in and working several different sites. You can use any size of soda bottle you want, as small as the 4 fl.oz. water bottles to 20 fl.oz. and larger bottles. Have a marker with you to label the bottles per location. These are water proof. When you get home just cut the top off and do whatever you plan on doing with the concentrates. -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.
If they were they'd have eaten the snake instead of the apple and we'd still be in heaven.... |
