You ask how do you win 6ozt. of gold. Well last summer as a fundraiser for legal battles to fight for our rights to dig and enjoy the outdoors Waldo Mining District held a fund raiser. How many pieces of gold make up said 6ozt. Guesses were bought at $5 each or 6 for $25. I believe the counting was set for Sept 29, 7 people counted 7 different piles 7 times I think LOL. Anyways I had the closest guess being 5 off. Needless to say it made my whole season. Here's a pic of 6 ozt in a gold pan.

Right now I am trying my luck at some urban prospecting, looking for some silver halves. Ordered my first box on Friday, will be in Tuesday and I can't wait. BTW is it Tuesday yet LOL. Really enjoying the CRH forum. Mark

WELCOME TO MUGS,

There needs to be an emoticon for drooling, cause that's what I'm doing after seeing those pics! Stunning!
 

I don't know how I missed this one- Waldo is a great group of miners in Southern Oregon and they always have a good raffle every year. I think last years was an ATV.

Sweet win, a few months late congrats!
