Step one, you should try and connect with me so I can properly teach you how to pan. Using a pan is fundamental for sampling, It's not difficult but if you don't know how or what you're looking for you'll quickly become discouraged. I highly recommend watching Jeff Williams videos, he makes geology fun and that ain't easy. Watch them then watch them again and again. A good modern gold detector starts around $650 for the Fischer Gold Bugs or drop $850 on a simpler but more sensitive Minelab Gold Monster. There's a long, long learning curve for each and you'll mostly dig lead up for a long time. I'd get more familiar with geology and mining laws first. To find gold you have to be on gold and know what signs to look for. You should be familiar with quartz, cobble, bedrock and contact zones. Look for hematite because gold wears an iron hat. Last week I found a hematite deposit on the claim that's just begging to be processed. But it's too wet for dry washing and it will take a Herculean effort to get a hi banker, water and equipment up the hill where it's located. I carried less than 4 gallons of dirt down the hill to pan out at home last Tuesday, and here's the result. I think it's safe to say I'm on the gold.

Got a hankerin for a bowl of MT Graham red now....

I haven't seen this on the news, got the article off Drudge. But it would appear an early symptom of the infection is the loss of taste and smell. https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/world-news/lost-sense-of-smell-may-be-peculiar-clue-to-coronavirus-infection/articleshow/74767666.cms

A questionnaire outside the gates. Pretty sure it's a product of Phoenix's mommy mayor.

We just returned from a scrap yard in west Phoenix, it was nearly a ghost town out there. We were screened out front for Covid before they'd let us enter and off load.

Meet u half way. Lincoln. Nebraska.

If I had teets like dat I'd never leave the house, virus or no virus.

So Democrats, is there some tax we can pay to get rid of this Coronavirus and move on or does that sort of thing only work with climate change?

I knew the hysteria reached a fevered pitch when Fox News rolled out Dr Oz. I can't forget the New England Journal of Medicine fact checked a season of the good docs show and determined over 60% of the sounds he uttered on TV was complete Bull crap. Yup, the end is near. Lmao

Im fond of the artists renditions of Yaqui Deer Dancers. I've seen numerous drawings and been to live performances, a Coues head is always the symbolic deer used by these folks. When I came across the drawing above had to adopt it as my avatar. In some way paying tribute to my Yaqui side of the family and grandma Anna.

Why not? I've been blaming my farts on him for years...

We have chicken and duck eggs for sale Will trade for TP.

Natl Guard is there to stop hoarders from "gaming the system." Pretty sad people have to act like hogs over such an nonessential item. Check your mailboxes for ration books.

Half of American households don't have a thousand dollars put away for an emergency. This could be way more expensive... If we get checks from the government, consider it a loan from our own money. We'll have to pay it back.

Surprise

*UPDATE* Two nights later, still no TP but somebody did key my truck.

I got a call from my landscaper this morning. He said he was working from home today then texted me instructions on how to maintain the yard.

157 years ago the CSA was here in AZ and trying to pay for their provisions with Confederate script. The citizenry wanted gold or silver but was forced to take the worthless script at the end of a bayonet.
