Picked Hefty1 up at his place this morning and we headed for Auburn and the Edelwise Cafe. We met his older brother there and the three of us had a very good breakfast. From Edel we wandered down the street to "The Prospecting Shop", both establishments are on High St. Close to Elm.
The Prospecting shop was nearly bursting with Gear, They even had a complete 2" or 2 1/2" Back Packable Dredge with a 2.5 hp Honda motor, looked nice, $1400.00. Lots of sluice boxes, an underwater grizzly attachment for the Keene A52 flare, ~ $30 to make a sort of in the water high banker/Bazooka GT kinda/maybe unit, then a great matting selection, wet suits, high rubber boots, a good variety of picks/scrapers/diggers/beaters and the like, a type of Lesche though it was not but very solid and heavy, a new smaller double riffle box high banker with a small electric water pump, Paul Bunions Gold Pan ~ 4' in diameter (cute), motors with pumps from Keene, books, CDs/DVDs on how to Prospect etc., classifiers large & small of all mesh size, books/magazines, they still have the 14" diameter rock with the gold in it sitting where all can touch it, panning magnet, sample bottles, snuffer bottles and More!
It was a treat circling the floor finding new stuff to look at on each pass and discussing the items as seemed appropriate, picking up items that needed picking up and just wishing that our full tummies were about to head in on a trail that would take us to prospecting land.
I forced them to go with me as I looked at "Stuff" in two Firearms Establishments, one just off of high street and another out on Hwy 49. I think are just entering the buildings caused a fine layer of oxidation to cover all metallic items in the stores especially as we were fresh from the prospecting shop and still had not purchased a single thing, mouth foam was evident. Seems the identity stamping bill was passed in California, firing pin and side of casing. So the current lot of semi auto handguns currently in stores will go up quickly in price before the new units hit the stores IF the manufacturers can get the new technology to work under production conditions? Nice folks in all the stores we visited.
Then we were off to the three hour presentation, Question/Answer session.
Happy hunting fellow enthusiasts!............................63bkpkr
