My two buddys and i are going to the miller creek area in N.C TO prospect. My buddys sister has some property in the mountains, that has a couple of nice creeks and an old abandand mine up the hill. We will not be going there as it is private property.The eleavation is 1800 feet at her place with 3000 foot peaks close by.We are all old men, hopefully we make it back in one piece.We will be there about 10 days. Has anybody out there done any good in this area?If so any tips,what to look for advice and what not.
Thanks again for any help and advice.
Jim Jim and wayne.

Sure beats three old men signing up for a gym and showing everyone the knobby knees, varicose veins, and pasty white skin - lol!

That's for sure fullpan! Lol. Hope you men find some good chunks and have a great adventure while you can still get out and enjoy nature. That's what i hope to do someday when I'm old and retired. Join the ldma and travel the country prospecting and grow me a giant beard! My line of work won't let me. Well good luck!

Dang Jimbo. Everyone thinks I'm all OLD or something now...... I may feel really old, but 48 isn't as old as you have people imagining. :dontknow:
