yep most sites are slow right about now cause people are getting out! i got a couple more weeks of stuff todo around here before i pull out myself!

Hope everybody does great this season As they say in basketball/football, I'm having season ending surgery on both knees Russ, and a lot of you others know the feeling Thought is was just a small meniscus tear in both knees. Both have degenerative arthritis (nothing new for late 60's ). The pressure from the years of standing, stooping, and other stuff one does when out in the field prospecting has caused most of the cartilage to wear out, float under the knee caps, and chew away the meniscus (causes all the swelling and popping noise). Should have been shooting videos like Leonard hope all find gold in their riffles, mats, expanded metal, drywashers, under their coils, pans, etc Getting out this year will be about as likely as dredging returning to Calif in 2012 - NOT Good note is the gas prices are dropping...... well maybe a few pennies

Hope the operations go well Pat.
Trying to find the closest place to Houston to find enough color to make it worth my while. Tried the Llano river last year....the sluice coughed up a couple of fly specs and that's it....but at least I can say that I've found gold in TEXAS now!
I hear that there's gold in the beach sands of south padre island....but it's a national seashore and illegal to dig...sux 2 b me.

Trev maybe you could start a offshore dredge operation like they did in Nome.heck maybe even a tv show to boot!
