desertscour, was that the guy who had a store in Ruidoso back 12 years ago? Maybe a little longer.
He had a claim over closer to Nogal which me and a friend visited, found two pickers. I think he had
a heart condition and his wife ran the store selling prospecting supplies. He had some bags of cons he
sold for $5.00 ea. I bought about 10 bags and the dirt was just backyard dirt he salted with 8-12 au
pickers. Should have bought all they had as it was good gold.
