The three amigos are getting you lubed up!

[Littleenki]

We might have to move out there and pay rent to the tortoises when the shtf, Z! You shaved the beard, Z!
I kinda liked it..oh well, my hair all turned gray, so I guess these are the changes we go through;)

Cosmo, Im a great free diver, but scuba makes me uncomfortable..and with the big ass sharks around here that we catch, Im swimmin in the pool! Thats a cool show though, and it reminds me of the one where they find sunken old growth logs...cool as well!

Zorgon, that assay lab is cool, and its a shame the tortoises got the best of it, the table looks brand new, as does some of the buidings before demo..what a shame.

Were there any rugs in there?

My last rug netted 6.5 ounces of gold dust, but it was hell getting it from all the other nasty things in there...food, dirt, dog hair...but I knew not to ever vacuum it!LOL! The torch firing the impurities out of the pile of dust made the worst smell ever..lasted for weeks! Thanks goodness for that carbon rod! It caught a bunch of crap that day!

If these three guys are wanting to buy up all the gold,and corner the market down the road, I guess there no way to stop them..they have the wherewithal and the backing..have for centuries.

What gives me hope though is that in this day,, we at least can see it coming and prepare the best we can..Im sure Thor's rolling in the survival supplies about now!:D

Cheers!

Darn Z!  That was a sweet setup at the mine there!  I think I have gold fever.  I am hooked on Alaska Gold Rush and Bearing Sea Gold, even got into Diamond Divers in South Africa!  And the Gold Rush guys went down to South America to give it a look see for a mine.  I tell ya that those boys up in Alaska on the dredges have the right idea.  Especially the guys that use a front loader bucket instead of diving!  They get the most gold I think because they are digging up bottom and the divers just get the gold that is not buried very deep.  And think of it, if you used a bucket, you would not have to dive. 



In one cleanout they got
166 oz. / $283,220

[Littleenki]

Holy crap...166 oz from a bucket?

(calls bobcat dealer)

Thats amazing, Cosmo..I wonder what else they find in there that they dont even look for?

No, they have a wash plant right on their 80ft river barge.  They dig it up and feed the wash plant.  That 166oz was from one clean out of the wash plant.   That stuff they are digging up sometimes sparkles the whole bucket it is so rich.

You would need a good size ship to haul up the barge and ship everything else in shipping containers.  Maybe ship up a small camper trailer to live in.  Only do it a few moths out of the year...
It doesn't hurt to fantasize does it?  lol

[Littleenki]

 Fantasize.he!! Im hooking up the boat as we speak!:D

Here is a pic of the Christine Rose:



I could see doing it with a smaller set up.

[Littleenki]

Yeah, Cosmo, we would be their lifeboat!LOL!

Im up for it though! Gotta get a front end loader from bobcat though..a little baby one!:)

What a lucrative business, dangerous though, Id guess.

Lone survivor... the Pomegranate tree that has sunk a tap root into the now flooded tunnels beneath the property

Look at that!
Poms make the best jelly you could ever hope for.

[deuem]

Its now a restricted preserve... can still go on the land with ATV to hunt, but no prospecting

Tortoise wins... 250,000 acres

I think all the hunters now know where to hunt tortoise!

[zorgon]

I think all the hunters now know where to hunt tortoise!

LOL  its a Federal offense to even LOOK at them the wrong way

[Somamech]

All those Poms going to waste.  They fetch roughly about $3-50 each here in Oz

That tree is a goldmine. 

[zorgon]

Rats will get em first most likely or the hunters   Rats are already trying to get mine. And the dang wind blew off many blossoms before the started turning to fruit

Gonna be a bad harvest this year 

[zorgon]

We might have to move out there and pay rent to the tortoises when the shtf, Z!

That was actually John's plan   He didn't really get much digging done. It was more a retreat and place to go if the SHTF  He had a concrete building for food storage and the water supply was secure. Far enough away from any easy access to keep all but the hardy away... and those types are usually friendly

Gubment fixed that real quick

You shaved the beard, Z!

Meh I iz a Cameleon Takes about a week to grow a new one...

Zorgon, that assay lab is cool, and its a shame the tortoises got the best of it, the table looks brand new, as does some of the buidings before demo..what a shame.

John got lucky on that  Deadline to be out was Dec 31st and at the last minute he got a buyer from Mexico that was looking for equipment for that size of operation. Not easy to find that size equipment these days. So he got an extension and the Mexicans came and hauled all the equipment out... plus many grueling trips we made stripping out everything. The flagpole was the last to go and on the way out, lo and behold, there was a tortoise in the road we had to move... Kinda like a HA HA I WINZ

Were there any rugs in there?

No rugs... no doors  no one ever messed with the place in all those years

If these three guys are wanting to buy up all the gold,and corner the market down the road, I guess there no way to stop them..they have the wherewithal and the backing..have for centuries.

Well for those still able bodies enough to go digging, a high price on gold makes it more worth the effort Gold is everywhere... even in your computer The more its worth, the more its worth the time to scrap

I don't have enough cash to worry about buying any  so let the big boys play...  But i think its time to consolidate what little I have... just in case

And had I only stockpiled back then

What really irks me though is al the We Pay Cash for Gold dealers... 90% are total rip off artists. They will tell you to your face your item is not real gold or silver and offer you peanuts

Its true they have to make a handling fee... fair enough, but they should pay MINIMUM 75% of day's price

If I had cash I would run an ad in the paper . My sister sold some rings she had on Ebay and got more than spot price from gold speculators who just wanted the metal

IMO holding gold for SHTF won't help... who carries a scale and file? LOL Better currency to stock is booze cigarrettes and toilet paper

[Littleenki]

LOL! Booze cigarettes and TP...priceless..no really priceless!

Im ready for a prospecting trip when you are, Z...have atvs will travel

What Im doing is just coming to grips with the fact that if the shtf, we wont need to worry about it unless were very well prepared..like the gubmint is with their DUMB's.
Even with a farm in the hills, theyll come and force me to give them my veg..so why bother..when the shtf, let the meatsuit go and become one with the higher plane..its our ultimate goal anyways, right?

Besides, I think we will be sharing a glass of that King Louis this new years if I remember correctly...right there in good old LV! Im trying to get the time off!
Cant die yet..bills to pay!

Cheers, and hey Im a chameleon, too...hair grows like a weed!LOL!Cop one day, hippie the next!:D

[Littleenki]

Oh yeah, and on that cash for gold scam..they tell you theres too much solder in the chain and they need to take special efforts to extract the gold...BS..just a centrifugla caster and a carbon rod, and everything sticks to the rod which isnt gold or precious. Then separate precious metals and cast ingots..easy as pie!

If Jesus was here, hed flip those tables over and machine gun the purveyors on the spot!...Did Jesus have access to a Tech 9?

Cheers!
