Cave Creek

[Desert_Rat]

Anyone every prospect around Camp Creek or Seven Springs Wash (NE of Cave Creek) with any luck? I'm up in Fountain Hills for a bit and hoping for find somewhere close for some prospecting.

yea, I found what was left of an old leach field north of CC and South of 7 Springs to the west. you need to go further west to get to the placer, even in north CC.......nothing, it was all hard rock from deep within the mountain. go try the Table meas area.....nice color out there.

good luck

north of Gillette{private owned ruins}, and south of black canyon city.
...look for that blue shale...

Don't worry Cachefinder, I do also. As a matter of fact its time for another Gun Show. Not the over priced Crossroads but one in Wickenburg.

Thanks for the tip pippinwhitepaws.

I realize that everyone in the State of Arizona knows that!
One does not!
Use The Saguaro Cactus as a "target"!
BUT!
This is to let the "Winter Visitors", who might not know, That The Saguaro Cactus is a

VERY! PROTECTED SPECIES

It requires HUNDREDS of TOUGH & HARD! Years to grow!

Am I missing something here, Cptbil?

"I realize that everyone in the State of Arizona knows that!

Are you basing this comment on the fact that a Saguaro Cactus is in the same picture as people with guns? Looks to me the actual target is out of the frame. Probably should have been included.

Please correct me if I am wrong, or did I miss something from an earlier post?

In my picture above we are not shooting at any cactus.

we have targets set up,
and a mountain base as our backdrop.

No Vegetation at all was harmed during this outing!

Billy,

Get out of the sun drink a bunch of water, calm down. I think Cachefinder is competant.

 

[DanB]

whats...in the blue shale

you said "south of black canyon city.
...look for that blue shale..."

there is blue shale at the horse shoe bend bypass.....what is in the shale? all the dirt that is red with rounded rock holds good gold.....what is in the shale? are you looking for a quartz stringer in the shale?

Well!
I really don't know about you guys,
BUT!
In my "travels" tru the Sonorian Desert
I have seen many a "Saguaro"!
wearing "Bullet Holes "!
So!
Apparently,
SOMEONE! Out there isn't aware of this !

 

[boogeyman]

So, we ASSUME Cachefinder & his friends are the culprets??

I think he's got more smarts than that Billy

 

[cptbild]

Boogeman
I believe, that if you'd go back and REread my "Post"
You'll see,
That,
I, VERY Specificly Mention ......
That this is FOR THE WINTER VISTORs
Who might not know that this is a State Law!
Saving them a trip to jail and a very hefty Fine!
Nowhere do I mention anything about the "Shooters", shooting ANYTHING!!
No where do I mention any one's name !
I believe that it was you who mentioned his name ??

Nice re-edit Billy

 

[BLACKFOOT]

Hey boogeyman re-read cptbils first he said out of staters never said the ones in the picture were shooting at cacti.
are you just lurking to find fault with cptbil ?

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

there were some teenagers a few years ago...shooting at saguaro...fool kid is pumping rounds from a shotgun into this old saguaro......reports are he screamed timber just prior to this gigantic cactus squishing him flat as it fell...

just rewards.

Hey Pippin,
Is that a true story or a fable? Heard it a couple times & was hoping it was a true one. Would serve em right.

Yep!

I was being accused --then it was edited...
