ok, lets get too the good pics first ---anyone ever get to hold a 1#+ gold nugget ? one of the guys that came to our outing was from alaska ---hit a big strike up there (440 ozs. in one area) --had 13-14 nuggets about the same size ---WOW !!
I didn't do anything like that but did get a little color --good for colorado standards---if you stayed long enough and dug enough ---aaaah, dreaming again !!
guess where I came out good was in the rock area--- stopped in kansas and bought out one big pile of rocks ( prob about 800/1000#), he even threw in some grit and polish ( two big tubs full)--- had some slabs( @100), big brazilians (10-21#), onyx, pet wood ( 3 -25#ers), and some other stuff ;D ;D
can anyone tell me for sure what this last one is ?--see if I'm guessing right -------had one piece of that onyx ( see joe's pics)that weighs in at 61 # -----------------"HELP" -- I need a bigger saw now ;D ;D
sure was glad I could leave some of that at joe's house (kd -- you were right about wanting to get better gas mileage--hehe)and think I " snowed" joe on thinking he got a good deal ;D ;D----really I needed to make some room to stop at four more rock shops on the way home --- and yes, I did get some more small things at each one --- I should have enough to last a couple of weeks of cutting !! didn't take any pics of the 3 five gallon buckets of chunks, or the pet palm woods yet,and some of the other chunks from the first stop---- maybe later
oh, cher, --- you could prob come down while I'm home and I wouldn't even notice that any thing was missing now!!
