That's a biggun! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif
I'm gonna try and get one about the size of Crusty's with stubby legs so I can put charcoal under and on top. It'll be like a crock pot stewing all day while I'm doing miner guy stuff. I'm gonna figure out how to make a blueberry pie like Scratch did too, that was a killer treat.

They had an entire isle dedicated to cast iron stoves for a lot cheaper than big box. If you're in town check em out.
Edit: okay so it was only like half an isle.

Well I can at least share what I found. I bought a crucible and was playing with it today. In ny rockhounding finds I found my first mini quartz crystal and either a very clear quartz chunk or a diamond.

Nice stuff!

Up at Chris's I find a bunch of stuff I wish was diamond! There are a lot of very clear what I can only assume is quartz. Best test I researched and found was telling (but painful!) is to heat them in hot water or with a flame. If they don't get hot, they're diamonds. Not a test you want to do a lot of times ;)

Great pics guys! The few I took really aren't worth posting, just creeper shots through the trees! music037.gif

I got a few decent for Clear Creek flakes, some micron gold...and three bits of mercury amalgamated gold. mad.gif Whole pan is quarantined for the moment until I decide what do with it. Not nearly enough to worry about, just enough to irritate me.

On that note James and Cyndi were working the same area that I was, so check your cons to see if you got any as well.

I did a cleanup from our outing. CC was a cruel mistress to me again but it was my own fault... ran that highbanker way too fast for that crick. Still managed to catch some though and any Gold is purty Gold! I think that Mike & Dave did much better with their more meticulous methods of sampling. happy088.gif

That's a nice haul Chris! Much better than my couple micro flakes and what I believe was on of the mercury contaminated ones? It was grayish; I smashed it with the end of the little paint brush I was using to pick up the other flakes and it flattened out like gold.
