My Deceased Mentor and Friend Gave me the Knowledge.....,

[Hard Rock Hobbs]

Thirty years ago my mining mentor started my prospecting education. He passed away 7 years past. In the last 3 years I finally got serious about some thing he had said in regards to a prospect that I had in the Mojave Desert. Actually what he said was two things. The first was forget about mining in the Calif Desert. He was right as will be shown next. I never have had much respect for those who want to shut down mining any where for the most rediculous reasons and outright lies construed as fact by those who issue them. I had to find out for myself just how right he was. The second thing he said was "This prospect for gold is the best I have seen in my career as far as potential for higrade gold. To bad you will most likely never be able to mine any of it." Now don't think I have'nt given that a lot of thought in the recent past. On a beautiful Spring day just recently (few years) I discovered what the Old Timers had missed. It is with regret , I had to modify my story to protect my mining interest. Too much info is evidently a liability these days. Maybe one day I will be able to tell my story with out retribution. Thank You , Hard Rock.

What Do You ThinkII should Do?? You are probably RIGHT. I am not just letting it Go. I quit smoking, so I can't ask you to send Smokes in Jail!! LOL

Id start pulling the night shift also, for that.
Its not like any one else is gonna get at it, Its Not stealing. It may be a short Vein anyway, who knows.
Might wanna get a Claim somewhere though, to say it was found there.

Might wanna delet this thread also.

Note many folks will get through the long post and no pics part anyway though.

God be with you!

[/qThereis no way it will be found in my opinion. It took me several to trace it down with private Info. You can stand right in front of it..., Well it looks like it its no where a gold reef. I was extremely lucky to find it with determination. Don't want to post pictures, and you are right it was a long post. How ever needed to be said. I don't worry about the so called authorities, as they would probably try to higrade it for themselves. The richness of this reef in itself is in the 7 figures in the first 6 feet. I am a professional prospector. I am na lucky guy as I don't have to mine it. Just skim the top twice a year.

WIRE gold in quartz? You can multiply your money take on it by using acid to eat away the rock of chunks of material and leaving the gold as little "trees" with enough of the rock left to form a base. I've always heard that this kind of specimen wire gold is very, very valuable way beyond the value of the gold alone because wire gold is rare. And processing the chucks like this reveals beautiful forms in gold that resembles trees and lace coral. I've seen beautiful examples in the gems and jewelry magazines. These type specimens are sold at auction and bring big bucks. You could have a large pot of mullah in return for one backpack worth of material. Construct a "hide" for your gloryhole and go there a couple of times a year and liveth the goodth lifeth. Using nitric acid gets rid of the rock material while giving the gold a good cleaning. Do some investigating into this technique and you'll be pleasantly surprised. Just think of how much hard work mining you'll save while raking in a lot more money.

Bunch of pinko liberal environmental communist ... That's right , close off all of what God has given us in the name of what? I will tell you what, Nothing more than a scam, to keep honnest hard working prospectors from reaping the rewards of their trade.

Government, EPA, Environmental Club Wackos, All of you: Get out of our way and business. We have had enough.

JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION!

Nitric acid will not remove the quartz. Only hydrofluoric acid dissolves quartz, it attacks silica, and using it is VERY dangerous.

Thanks Duke I wa just gonna do the same. There is one other acid but it makes Hydro seem like water-flourosulfonic(sp) used at Litton for years and got some righteous pieces in lab conditions with TONS OF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT/FUMEHOODS/MASKS/OXYGEN SUPPLY as a MISTAKE results in death. tons a au 2 u 2 -John
