I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like you have your priorities right.
Not a problem my friend I know you meant no harm. And I know on the surface it seems ridiculous. But you have to understand there’s 1 million projects like that. Trees falling down, things happening, upkeep of the house, driveway and property. When you have 30 acres in the mountains trust me the projects are simply never ending.
I’m one man who is 60 years old and the few moments I do have to be outside and can leave her side, it HAS/HAD to be utility type stuff. Maintaining the home amd such.
Plus a major thing for you to factor is I didn’t know there was gold here or not, so it may have been a waste of time. This information I received is new, like in the last three weeks and so yes I am more excited now but NOW add in the fact that we’re moving and packing up boxes as you can imagine...Plus it’s not just gold it’s gemstones and that takes a lot of experience to recognize in its raw form!
In other words it was simply viewed as a hobby and an open invitation for people to come out. It was never viewed as getting rich, at least up until now!!! It’s easy to read a post like this and try to look at it very simplistically and in black-and-white form, but life doesn’t really work like that
However to be honest I absolutely give up with this website. For some reason I can’t figure out, I thought people would jump at the opportunity to come out to 30 acres with a half mile long Creek, untouched by human hands, buried between two mountains with tons of bed rock and gravel beds and waterfalls, with an excavator on site to move heavy objects, but I guess not. I guess people have all the legal property they need to go out and put up a tent and take gold off the land for the next six months!
Most people just answered sarcastically. A couple showed minor interest. And I’m sure everyone else thinks there must be something up, this can’t be real, if it looks too good to be true... in either case I’m tired of pissing around here. It is what it is and this is not what I do. It’s not my expertise. And I learned a long time ago to let people do what they know well and I’ll do what I know well.
For one reason or another the people here were not the breed and caliber of people I thought they were! Personally I find it amazing that people here are trying to find a treasure, gold or valuables. And yet when an opportunity slaps them in the face, they are too busy trying to find out what’s wrong with it, instead of what’s right with it!
