Happy to hear that...

Hope you know that I meant no disrespect, but unfortunately, some do not have that wisdom, and we read about them in the news from time to time. Glad to know common
sense still prevails.

It's been over 10 years since I last took a prospecting/detecting trip, but if I was ever able to get down there, it would be awesome to spend a day with ya swinging a coil out in the desert. I dearly love that country, and miss being out there with the sagebrush. Responsibilities have kept me parked here at home, but at 65 and not so healthy, if an opportunity presented itself I'd pack up the car and be headed south in a heartbeat...

It would be a pleasure to take you to detect those old places.

Those are some nice older mining relics. My brother was a Hard Rock Miner up in the mountains of Nederland Colorado for 20 years. He then came back to Illinois and applied his mining engineer degree running his own consulting business and has since retired.
