R.I.P My Brother 💔

[PikesPeakCharlie]

I lost my brother, best friend and digging partner of over 40 years in March. Some of you might remember him as " Santa " from some of my old digging post's. We were some serious digging mofos ! and Cripple Creek and Victor Colorado and all associated ghost towns were our hunting grounds. It will never be the same, everything changes ! Miss ya bad Braaaaa !! Keep your shovel dirty ! I will meet ya at the dump when I get there 😇💔

Sorry for your loss. I'd love to hear some experiences metal detecting ghost towns. It's something I've thought about - but I've never done.

I'm so sorry Charlie. I'll bet there were many good times and wonderful discoveries you two had shared. The memories of that are a treasure you can never misplace or loose.

Thanks Tamrock ! We found many treasures from digging crystals on Pikes Peak to hitting a large nugget patch in New Mexico to 40 years of treasures we found in Cripple Creek . I will always hold the treasure of my memories !!!!!

Thank you ! I would rather hunt ghost towns than anywhere else ! lots of trash to work through but when the goodies start popping, ohhh what a feeling !!

Last Sunday , it had been a year since I lost my brother 💔 I've added a couple more pics in remembrance. Ya know they have the suicide crisis line, say help them get help, intervene,step up help. What can we do when you have no clue that's how they are feeling, no clue,no comments,no signs at all ,,,,,,, 💔 your daughter and I miss ya horribly !
