The only big strike
I ever made was a nice chunk of quartz with some ribbon gold in it. Maybe about the size of a large fist. Might have had an ounce of gold in it..maybe. Sold the sucker for about 3 times the gold value. Collectors like large things with gold in 'em. Guy took an edge off with the most gold showing and made a necklace for his wife. Probably told everybody how he dug it up or something. I really didn't care. Most of the gold you find here is flour gold. Up on the mountain it is a little chunkier.. LOL BUT it is hard work. really hard. I used to do ok in Alaska on small streams..in the corners. A friend up there did really good on a corner of a strea that moved it's course. Bet he got 9 or 10 ounces out of one little pocket. He thunk he was rich..but gold only brought about 70 bucks then. I still have all of what I found cept the quartz. Shoulda sold it when gold was real high.
Have picked up a few more guns..A Savage 30-06 with Leupold VX II for 300 bucks.. A S&W 48 with Extra 22 LR cylinder for 500. a little Keltec 9mm with 2 1/2 boxes of ammo holster box and all for 275. Seems to be a nice little gun. Also going to pick up a Marlin Lever gun in 30-30. New in box with laminated stock. Won't make much on it as I paid too much(400). but it will sell. Gotta have stuff for people to look at. Most of the guns are eye candy..as well as some of the kinda rare bullet moulds
