Wth you go from gold prospecting to stand up comic? Lol

 

[kazcoro]

What do you call a miner that commits suicide by jumping into an open shaft?

 

[kazcoro]

A claim jumper!

 

[kazcoro]

What are the first three rules of gold prospecting?

 

[kazcoro]

Mine, mine, mine.

 

[kazcoro]

Two miners are walking through the bush, and see a mining shaft,

One miner says " I wonder how deep it is ??" and throws a rock down, they listen for a few minutes, but nothing,

Other miner says, " we need a bigger rock ", so they throw down a bigger rock, still nothing,

First miner see's a really heavy " railroad sleeper " and says, " let's throw that down ",they struggle dragging it over to the shaft and down it goes,

Before they can tell if the sleeper hit the bottom, a goat runs flat out from the bushes, and runs straight down the shaft, between the two miners, they are stunned with amazement,

Next a farmer appears from nowhere and says, Have you guys seen my goat?

Well the first miner says, " we just seen a goat who was running, come out of the bushes and ran flat out straight down this mine shaft"

The farmer replied, " can't be my goat, my goat could not run cause he was chained to a " rail-road sleeper "

Went out last Wednesday after work with a friend. Spent waaaay too much time talking. With him and with about a dozen random neighbors who came walking along that beautiful day. Not enough digging time

Still got 0.07grams but no bigger flakes this time which seemed odd considering where I was digging. Sure enjoyed the day and the company

Had the same kind of experience a couple weeks ago Kevin. Made plans to meet a guy on the river and all of us had a blast, didn't find much gold that day, but had a blast. Next day 2 of us found as much as the day before in a couple hours. Cleaned up, packed up and then spent a couple hours talking to hikers coming down from the river above. I enjoy the talks with the non prospectors that are amazed at the "dust" we find. :-)

4/19 I will be at 6811 Washington St (Tymkovich Meats parking lot) starting at 9 am for an all day outing. All are welcome to join in. Will be great weather so likely a big friendly group. We will be prospecting in lower Clear Creek which runs on the northern border of the property. I'll have my Bazooka Prospector sucking up gold as usual

 

[KevinInColorado]

My take from yesterday. Sampled three different spots, found gold in all three. Met some great guys, even a middle school aged kid who rode his bike several miles to do some panning! 0.07 grams A fun place to explore, with gold everywhere I dug (!!) ...just not as much as my secret honey holes.

hey thanks...trying keep up the light hearted mood on this stream

Got out yesterday after work and tried a new spot. Really good gold, I was seeing it on the skid plate of my Bazooka Sniper unfortunately I got chased back indoors by a thunderstorm so a second visit is being planned for sure!

Cons aren't panned out yet so a pic will come soon...

 

[kazcoro]

Looking forward to that.

Had a total Master of Fly Poop moment yesterday LOL... I spent the day "on staff" helping a friend who runs a gold prospecting guiding/outings business. He had a group of 11 guys who were spending the weekend together for a bachelor party for one of them. We had them running a dredge, a gold cube and three different sluices. Beautiful weather, good gold and a fun day overall! Anyway after all the concentrates were run thru the gold cube, panned out and the gold given to the groom (that's what all the guys wanted to do, nice touch right?!), nobody wanted the remaining cons so I got to take them home to work my MFP magic I had fun running the cons thru my process and found 0.05 grams of extremely fine gold, mostly -100 mesh. This means the panning we did in the field extracted 98% of the gold (we pulled a total of about 2.5grams for the day) which is pretty darn good!

Cool, that's some bright shiny stuff Kevin.
