prospecting

Oh the old days of prospecting for gold In Colorado, Arizona, and California. Never got rich but found gold, met a bunch of nice people , Had a great time. In Yuma AZ at a friends who I will not mention any names I know I seen over 100 lbs of gold. In Quartzsite Az.setting in McDonalds.  I saw and held 4 nuggets that weighed out to a total of 3 lbs. Went to a small SUV with the owner and I seen another 8 or 9 pounds of gold.Seen and held a nugget the looked like a giant potato. Mined gold in a mine owned by a good friend in Idaho Springs Colorado. Panned both forks of Clear Creek from Georgetown all the way to the south Platte. Would attend monthly meetings of the gold prospectors of Colorado and met many interesting people. Like Jerry Jones one of the persons I made the trip to Calf, and Az with. And I won a couple of drawings for gold nuggets!
