GET ME OFF THE GRILL, I'M DONE!

The last trip up to the Wild AM. With my gold hounds. Did a marathon this weekend. Started Friday afternoon ran till noon Monday, dig, dig, dig, sluice, sluice, sluice. Man am I beat! I think my honey hole is cleaned out finally. We had some nice foliage it was at peak. The weather Fri/Sat wasn't the nicest, wet and cold Sun/mon were nice sunny and warm. Monday I went down to the river at the crack of stupid while setting up my sluice I looked up got to see a black bear it was about 35 yds. away luckily on the other side of the river. Between the cold and my disability it's time to drop the skirt and end the tea party. Looking back on the season it's been a good one met a lot of nice people, great weather, wild life, what more could you want. Oh' yeah more gold! LOL! All and all I've gotten almost 12 grams of gold with this last clean-up. Now it's time to get ready for that nasty season, WINTER! I'll be jonesing for gold now for the next 6 mos. till I thaw out!

"I found a bigger vain but I'm just soo busy this summer I'm not sure I'll get to it."

LMFAO

yeah I'll be diggin next year just like you!

 

[nh.nugget]

BUSTED! Okay you got me LOL! I do have a couple of other spots. But no seasonal camp site this year so it will be a little harder to get there as often, long drive. I want to use my street rod more this year only put 30 miles on it last summer, no room for mining gear.

I think your right Jeff. When he hangs another banner next year. I can see the writing on the wall. I did find time and look what I found. Im thinking he found a better spot.

 

[Jeff95531]

You have a street rod too? I wanna see!

 

[goldenIrishman]

Me too! Me too! Post up a pic of that bad boy!!!!

 

[nh.nugget]

[nh.nugget]

Here you guy's go! I know it's dirty like I said I only put 30 miles on it this summer. Also a couple of my other cars. Do I get a Banner for these? LOL!

 

[triple d]

Real sweet there sir. Can"t blame you for wanting to drive them.

 

[Jeff95531]

Banner? Sure! Let me drive which ever has the most torque and you can find me and claim it. Find of the Day! There Ya Go!

 

[nh.nugget]

I'll give you an off ramp ride in the truck you'll pee your pants! It's got a killer suspension under it, 388ci 525 hp goes like the bejesus and corners like a Vette! You can drive it if you DARE!

 

[Jeff95531]

Heh Heh. Launch around 5K, recover, shift to 2nd at 60 mph...90 for third and 110 for fourth topping out around...oh IDK...say 150?. Of course, if it's an AT with a decent stall speed converter...just floor it and keep it straight. How am I doing so far?

Sigh. Why is "Those were the days my friend...we thought they'd never end" going thru my head right now?

 

[goldenIrishman]

Now knock that off NH! you're making me want my old 57 Chevy 3800 step side back! Wasn't made for speed but it would go any direction ya pointed it in. It was big, green and UGLY hence it's name of Godzilla.

Try almost 200mph! The red line or grenade point is 8500 rpm

Freakin' sweet gold and congrats on the banner.

I live in MD and about 10 years ago I spent about half a summer panning for gold. I found everything BUT gold. Apparently most of the gold found in my area was mostly small flakes and dust.

There was once an actual operating gold mine maybe 10 miles form where I live. There's a strip mall on the location now.
Apparently it didn't produce for very long but I figured if gold was that close that maybe I'd get lucky in nearby streams.

It may be around but I still haven't found any of it.
Oh, and you're right. That IS some back breaking work.

Nice thread NH Nugget. I might as well add to the classic car show. Here is my 1970 Dodge Charger 440 R/T S.E.




Does 11.8 in the 1/4 mile.

 

[nh.nugget]
