Hey from the New Guy

[ShovelinDave]

I just wanted to formally introduce myself. The name is David. I was born and raised in Indiana. Now I'm living down here in North carolina. I found this website browsing one day and thought it was the best I've come by. It's got everything you could possiby need for the hobbies we enjoy so much. Which I tend to have to many of. I lean toward the gold prospecting more than the MD'ing. Last visit back home my Step Dad let me barrow (not buy or gave me) a metal detector that he has owned a couple years but never used. All I have found so far is some scrap metal in my yard, for now. Anyway, great site and looking foward to meeting some great people.

Hi David

Welcome to T-Net!

Have you been doing any prospecting for gold in NC.?

I go there from Indiana about twice a year to prospect for gold. I also rock hound and gem hunt while I'm there as well.
Even thought about moving to North Carolina and setting up a pay to pan campground some day.

Welcome to Tnet, Dave. There's some really cool folks on here, some very talented folks, some very knowledgable folks, maybe some rich folks, and then there's me. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for the greetings.

GoodyGuy - I have done some panning here. I live in Cabarrus County which has a rich history of gold mines in it. I have an older neighbor who told me a little story. When he moved into our small neighborhood in the late 50's. There was a man that lived in the woods who panned for gold down in a little stream. He told me that's how he made his living. I guess those were the days when life was a little simpler.

This next year I'm going to get me a sluice. I already have a couple leads on some good spots to try out. I have to get permission from the landowners is all. That's when I will find the biggest nugget of gold and her little sisters that will let me retire early in life. Then I can be a fulltime prospector/MD'er. Maybe even becoame a partner on that campground idea of yours.

Dave,

When I come down in the spring maybe we can partner up, I'll bring a dredge, high banker, sluice, spiral wheel, pans, and a Whites GMT gold nugget detector.

I would be happy to show you the ropes and split the gold 50/50. You provide the location I'll provide the equipment and expertise.
PM me if interested.
