Read the email again, Tom. The tailings pile. Confluence of Canyons E1 and E2

I've said over and over again I appreciate what all you've suggested. And I do. Along with all the other suggestions I've received in email conversations with others.

If my ego is standing between me and giving you full credit, I hereby remove it and give you full laurels for your help.

I'm not certain what you want, why you've felt unacknowledged or slighted, but my words to you are obviously responsible, and I apologize.

*smile* I won't insist that you take a piece of whatever is found, but I hope you will accept my apology.

warm regards, Jack
