Mike glad to hear your feeling better was getting a little worried about you!!!!! The squirrels are moving good this morning. ,,,,,,,Chuck If you got all that who needs a house!! Sounds like you've got it all figured out. My brother who lives in Wyoming has been to Alaska several times and loves it but couldn't talk his wife into moving there.

There is mica just about anywhere you go,,but to say its an indicater for gold NO,,, i go mainly on the amout of BLACK sands that i can spot or dig out and pan ,,,if you look at the pic back a few pages you will see the black sand im talking about,,,,they blonde brown sands and mica was panned out/away leaving all the heavies gold being the heaviest,,,that gold in the pan pic was from Missouri that took about 15 minutes max to dig out and screen off larger rocks ,,that gold came out of about 1/4 to 1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket of material,,,i bet you good money Rex we can find it right in your area ,,just wish i was there to show a few things to look for and just a few minutes to teach you HOW to pan ,,,gold free for the taking,,it dont rust or rot,,keep it around til you need to sell or trade it

Mike, How many people are in your club? There is such thing as a resignation then someone would have to take your place, Chuck does the black sand have some kind of value?

Ive heard that the black contains little tiny micro specks of gold in them,,i dont know really how to go about telling you how to crush it and extract the gold even if it does contain gold,, then some folks swear that the black sands around your rose bushes draws more sunlight to make bigger healthier blooms ,,,lol i usually put right back in the creek along with the other sand ,,all i want is the gold!!

Linda we have 22 members in our club. But only 8 working members if you know what I mean. All in all we have a good club. Everyone gets along nobody gets mad if their motion don't make it. They are really a nice bunch of guys to work with.

I know what your talking about Mike. I go to a small church and there are only a few who are willing to do things. People are like that they want to be served but don't want to contribute. I think all the clubs are the same way. Do you guys have any youth events? Been telling Jeff and TD that would be a way to get younger kids interested and keep them out of mischief. Good morning Chuck

Chuck that was my first Compound bow. Bought it around 1975. loved it. Linda we have not got enough of youth that is interested in hunting. We tried it even had the AKC State Champions down here 3 years and the most we had was 6. Kids these days got to many toys like game drugs and a whole lot of mischief if you know what I mean. I am not insulting anyone but kids wants to stay on game or down town. They don't want to learn about the forest or how to hunt. I wish kids would want to know about sportsmanship. I hope I did not offend anyone. That wasn't my point. SORRY

Mike, My kids would have been the same way but forced them to get out of the house and not sit in front of tv or video games. At the time they thought I was mean now they see my point. Kids now a days are brain dead and all they know is video games have no imagination. I think when small farms started disapearing into the corporate machine was a big downfall to our youth. I Have lived on a farm all my life and if there are no livestock on it to me it is just not a farm. I do realize someday I may not be able to take care of animals but until that day I will!!!!!
