I recently lost all of my old prospecting photos that were saved to my hard drive, now some of these were actually 35mm that had been scanned to disk (imagine, how primitive! LOL) So after havin Steve O bring me (yay Steve O!) I got to see a lot of old photos from camping and prospecting trips gone by, thought I would share some of them with y'all.

this one I thought was pretty cool, if I were going to be buried (instead of cremation and having my ashes sprinkled all over playboy mansion LOL) I would want a headstone like this one. Steve and I were I believe in an old cemetery outside of blackhawk

Think this was the first season that Steve O and I met duck, way before he went all Tim Allen (LOL) on us and invested in a 5 inch dredge (like I can talk)
