River gold

Hi all! Been hav'n fun in the water! Don't hang on to shades most of the time, the lenses are usually history(like the custom R.B. today w/prescription lenses $700?not pictured). These two pair though had not a scratch one. Soon as i pulled the clear ones up a teenager on a rock near me said "wow! nice oakley's! Sure enough, "Oil Rig" :tongue3:

is name of type and list for $130. My son snatched them, not my kinda shades I'll take the Ray Bans ($100). Eyeballed them along with the "cool" S&Wesson 150th(limited edition) Golden Issue folding knife. Bracelet is a worthless(2 me) titanium. Earing is 14k but hollow, 925 loop earing, junk ring and the hefty 14k W.B.(11grams). Pics are of establishments at end of rafting tours. I took them early when i got there. Pull offs are at right and left for rafts in pics and up through the river there is where i hunt. Also,the last 3 pics show the progress of the water and how quickly it rises (less than 5 min) after its release upstream from the damn. Thanks for looking! HH

Yes, a damn further upstream. When they release the water at about 9am it takes approx. 2 1/2 hrs for it to reach this section. I get there about daybreak which gives me a 4to5 hr window to hunt. I've found some wonderful items here.

great goin richard. that looks like quite a large area there. so im sure u will find

a lot more.

i take it the dam is realeased at a given time in order to create a wild ride..

which is cool for u. the wild water is there to shake items loose. then calmer when u are hunting.

i would bet most wild river rides are natural water and difficult to hunt in season. u would mebbe wait til low water to hunt.

anyway congrats on the finds. thats like a ready made seperator.

hah seperate folks from their goodies.

NOW LETS SEE A FATHER/ SON CLOSE-UP WEARING THEM SHADES.
