cool find -- hopefully that tnt wasn't "sweaty" --- nitroglycerin isn't much fun --

Very interesting find...definitely not one you would want to juggle around to much. Any dating on the container? Doesn't look incredibly old...maybe 30's??

 

[gold tramp]

it had been setting out here since I guess 30s ? so it was pretty dry I threw off the mnt.
the caps are like new the fuse dryed out also.
GT.....

Sweating blasting caps in the sun. Scary.

Yesterday we were out prospecting new area to haul our drywasher to, I think this spot will be the steepest we have had to hike our equipment up. and definatly the roughest boulder strewn wash we have ever hauled our rig up, some were the size of a 1 room cabin. I think its 2 miles in from the truck ? So we are inspecting our route as we are using old timer trail to get to our spot, taking a break the guys were poking around in some boulders came up with an old coffee can inside it hada stick of dynamite, caps, fuse n matches. And they didn't even have a bleeper on this one, im thinking that can of nuggets or gold coins are getting closer every trip out. We finished off the day finding a couple really old camps, visited a few hard rock prospects, got fairly warm out I think we may be about 2 weeks from 100s. Still have to hand sample the wash, see what we come up with, I have been wanting to get up here n sample for many years looks like the time is right. I will take a lot of photos of this one youall will be able to see some serious dry placerings I just hope we get the yellow. Heres a few picks hope you enjoy.

Who doesn't love dynamite? I cannot count the times I have wished for some.

For me when i was in Bolivia, it was scary / fun, first stick scary, ( was not impressed with the effects one stck had on a large boulder) after that all fun

Know that feeling -- about 8 or 9 yrs old, my uncle and cousins taught me how to use it for removing stumps ---
