    Mariposa Gold


    Talked the girls into going to the mine on Sunday, as you can see they are
    hard at work. Not much gold showing on the rock, most of it is inside.
    All give a good loud signal. Wish you all luck on your next hunt, Chuck

    Re: Mariposa Gold

    Hi Chuck,

    Good to see nice family photos out at the mine. Always enjoy your beautiful specimen/hugget shots. Your womenfolks are like mine, but as long as they enjoy themselves, that's the main thing.

    My wife nearly always joins me for a few days to a week wherever I happen to be each autumn. I'm happy to see her enjoy whatever suits her interest, needlework, photography, or just hiking/reading and so on. She'll even use a detector at times, although it only lasts an hour or two.

    Now, the food quality really improves with the wife on-site, so thats a real benefit. But then too, I enjoy solitude at that time of year. And pork and beans with sliced weiners over a hot blazing fire suits me right down to the ground. Thanks Chuck, for a real nice post.

    Jim.
    Time, oh good sweet time...where did you go?

    Re: Mariposa Gold

    yes cast on rock salt.then water will dissolve the salt,and presto -natural looking nuggetts.i have made 20 or so and no two are alike-all one of a kind.after cleaning if you don't like the appearance,remelt and cast again.
    no matter where you go,there you are!
