What Is Left For One To Do

I still say the most interesting item I dug in Mexico was a jar of poppy seeds buried about 6” deep…I stopped my detecting and got the heck out of Dodge…

Good point, gotta keep those metal detectors away from cell phones or cars they’re liable to talk to each other.

I could have given anyone a run for their money…Back in the day…I could probably give most of the people on this forum a lesson or two, IF I decided too…

Reminds me of a link to a story that was pointed out to me where a well known individual in the field of certain types of deposit. Took out for a 2 hr. plus trip around 80 people (Scientists, geologists) over a number of rock deposits out crops and not one of them could point out the deposits of question with just there eyes.

I don't think many here are into "Grubstaking" do you think otherwise?

"Grubstake" defined within the code.

I personally prefer “Ante” over “grubstake”All of the work has already been done…I have never had the need for any investors. Problems may arise with investors and they always want quick results…I am a firm believer in “mañana siempre mañana” and not “today is the day”…

Anyhow…Some of my old playgrounds may have already been claimed by someone…As I have mentioned…It has been over 20 years since I have been out in the field…

Besides…I am not in the best of health…And it is not every day someone offers up a trip to Santa Fe for what I am offering it for…I believe the trip there would just be the beginning…Some creative person could possibly create a tv show that would make Oak Island look like a cartoon…

Reminds me of a few "State Geologist reports" that some "Deposits" should not be there because of the age, pressures, movements etc.

It is where it is…I don’t know what more I can say…IF anyone ever antes up…mañana siempre mañana will definitely change to today is the day…

I don’t think I could lower the ante because Uncle Sam would want his share…

And the deal is as is where is…

So true…I wonder what one might be able to find with a detector in some of my areas

And as for taking a car…I don’t think I’d take any vehicle newer than a 1988 model year… lol

Law Will Install Kill Switches In All New Cars

Dec 30, 2022—3 min read

https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/kill-switches-new-cars/

“Barr points out that the bill, which has been signed into law by President Biden, states that the kill switch, which is referred to as a safety device, must “passively monitor the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.”

“In other words, Big Brother will constantly be monitoring how you drive. If you do something the system has been programmed to recognize as driver impairment, your car could just shut off, which could be incredibly dangerous.”

“There is the possibility the kill switch program might measure your driving as impaired, then when you try to start the car up again the engine won’t fire up. That would potentially leave you stranded.”

“Would they need a warrant to do that? Likely not. Even better, hackers could access the backdoor and shut down your vehicle.”

Would that apply to classic cars?I don’t think I will be buying a new car any time soon…lol

Hackers can hack just about anything…I used to enjoy watching Screen Savers…I remember on one show Leo set up a secure device and challenged hackers to try to hack it…It took less than a minute for a hacker to hack it…

Back in the day…Grubstaking was part of some prospectors daily lives…I personally believe said process is a suckers bet…

I remember spending over $150 at a local fair one time trying to get a coke bottle to stand up by using a stick with a piece of string wit a metal ring tied to it…The dang carnie made it look so easy…So much for OCD…I have learned a few things from life…

Likely and to add to the game you pay to "Record" it.
I don't see anyone here into that type of game however I could be wrong.....lol.

Life in itself is a giant game…And many pass through never realizing it…

I bought a camcorder way back when…It was one of biggest wastes of money…I think it was worse than the bottle game…Or trying to shoot out the star with 100 bbs…

I will admit…I do have a less than exemplary record…But I have not tried to peddle museum quality wire gold off on to unsuspecting dupes…And I am not trying to be deceptive IF any well to do person were to step up an ante up…Let’s say IF someone were willing to ante up…Uncle Sam would get his share…And by the time all is said and done…I’d be lucky if I end up with half of the ante…

I really did try to convince my daughter into taking GIA courses…And she laughed at the thought…Same with my sons…

Oh well…I wonder IF I should take the courses…IF I believe the diamond was An IF paragon diamond grade G or H…Do I really need to take the courses

Hunter Biden was allegedly in possession of valuable diamond during divorce: emails

By Emma-Jo Morris October 21, 2020

https://nypost.com/2020/10/21/hunter-biden-was-allegedly-in-possession-of-valuable-diamond-emails/

The gem at issue appears to be a 2.8-carat jewel that Biden told The New Yorker he got from Ye Jianming, then the chairman of CEFC China Energy Co., following an introductory dinner meeting in Miami amid Biden’s divorce.

In court papers, Buhle estimated the diamond was worth $80,000, while Biden put its value closer to $10,000, according to The New Yorker.

Biden claimed he gave the diamond to two unidentified associates who also attended the dinner meeting, saying, “I knew it wasn’t a good idea to take it. I just felt like it was weird.”

I don’t think I’ll being looking for any diamonds any time soon…The odds are against me there…Plus…IF I were to try to return to where I found the Tia Juana…The ante would be far more than the ante to Santa Fe…After all…My personal thoughts are that the value of the Tia Juana at over $20 million, after being cut by a professional…But that is only IF it were truly a diamond…After all…It could have only been a piece of quartz …
