Good Luck Customs

[Cariboo5]

Acquired some new ground in December and as in the past we will do our little custom of initiating new claims. This year will be using metals & minerals to hopefully gather metal & minerals.

Does it really work?....Not sure but what I do know is that not only is it fun but we have family memories that last a life time. ( Attached picture explains this years custom )

[FONT=&quot]Do you have any good luck customs before or during your adventure and would like to share them....?

I always say a little prayer that my day goes well and that I stop and admire the things that I see that day. I do more searching for open areas and do alot of ground work so the things I come across are all new to me. As long as I come back in one piece without getting hurt or too tired I'm thankful. If I was stuck in an area mining the ground I suppose I would have a custom like when I go to a casino.

Cariboo5:

I have a Florida Gator's baseball cap that I've had for many, many years (it looks like it's been salvaged from a dump, that bad, yes), and I've worn it many times on the first trip into a new claim or goldfield when I'm going to detect for nuggets. Does it work to help find gold? I have no idea, but it definitely establishes a comfort zone, so I guess it's a custom, but I should have some kind of ceremony too, an interesting idea . . .

I can see why your ceremony is something you all look forward to, looks like a fun time the way you have it set up, great looking items used too.

All the best,

Lanny

Had the same thing happen last season. Forgot my vial and found a picker so I put it in my lower lip and while walking back to the PU I stumble on a rock and spit the picker out....lol Anyways...after 10 min or so I found it again with the Monster.....

That's a great story that could have had a far worse outcome.

A friend of mine had a handful of nuggets, a horsefly nailed him on the shoulder, and reflex kicked in: he got the horsefly with the hand that held the gold! The gold flew into a very large growth of nasty low-growing juniper, impenetrable stuff. And, there the gold rests to this day . . .

All the best, enjoyed your story,

I think I would have built a bond fire, with that juniper centered in the middle.

Well, if there was only a way to do it and stop the rest of the forest from jumping in on the BBQ, it likely would have worked.

All the best,
