Gold is where you forget where you found it...LOL

Ed T :)

That's a big LOL...Over the years I have found it hard to pass up a prospect that really looks good so I take a good sample to satisfy my curiosity.. I usually take enough to fill a pan and put it in a large zip lock baggie, and toss the baggie in a five gallon can... yep.. I'm sure you know the story.. things got busy and it was about 6 months before I took the time to run my samples.. I had set the bucket outside to remind me to run the samples..My sprinkler system dumped some water in the bucket and I didn't realize that the marker I was using to label them wasn't waterproof..The best sample I have ever taken in my life wasn't legible and I have tried for over 10 years to backtrack those samples.. to no avail..My wife has even suggested hypnosis...My curiosity just won't let me leave it alone..oh well....Anybody know a good hypnotist??? ;)

Most important two letter word sentence.. "If it is to be, it is up to me"
