Ice Cold Gold Options

[leonard]

Did anyone else catch the final episode on NATGEO of this? They didn't find any gold but they found a ruby deposit where the rock was impregnated with small rubies. They were digging them out with a knife. If it comes on again I'll dvr it and get some pictures. I was impressed!

Hey Crusty,

Keep me in mind and when you get home in August and if you need a quick fix let me know. I am in need of someone to help kick around a few rocks myself.
I know what you mean about that heat, I am out in Ft Irwin NTC. It has been 114 degrees a few times and is expected to stay that way for a while. But at least it is still the good ol’ USA and I will be back home in a few weeks. Stay safe, Woody.

Get back to work! Damn civilians always taking time off and stuff!

Seriously though, you'll have a good time with Woody. If you're anything like me you'll watch him casually show you a nice plate of quartz or microcline and then toss it down the hill. He sees it as being ok at best, I see it as being OHMYGODTHATSFREAKINGAWESOME! Oh. There it goes. Way down there. I had to chase my thermos of coffee down the hill when I went with him and I swear the bottom of the hill was a graveyard of awesome.

I can see it now... I've always been crazy about rocks. I've got a whole box of them (not counting the ones in my head!) that I've picked up walking around here, and that is just the gravel/river rock that you know is ALL OVER this joint. Anytime I walk around my neck gets sore from looking down and scanning the ground while I walk! ;)

Woody, I will gladly take you up on that offer! Would love to learn from someone who's been out & about. RIght now my method involves stumbling around like a blind man until I get lucky bump in to something. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now & again! Hoping to get home the first week of Aug. Will definitely see when you're available, thanks!!
