Actually we do have three other properties ( been in the same families for over a hundred years and never prospected ) that we will be prospecting starting next spring. Went out to walk the creeks early this summer but it was way overgrown and the Copperheads and Timber rattlers were more than plentiful. This winter ( when the Copperheads and Timber rattlers will not be around to complain) I will be taking the Kubota out there and rearranging their habitat to encourage them to move on to the other side of the properties.
The Alabama Gold Camp is very convenient (just a little more than 1/2 hour away) for testing and learning the setup on new equipment. My brother and I had gotten out of prospecting for over 20 years so It's been a great place to learn, relearn and play with new toys!
