This site doesn't "work" like sites in the USA, but I'll do the best I can.... I'm a retired engineer who just recently learned how to "turn this borrowed PC on" ... so I can jump on the Internet and see what all the fuss is about! I type with one finger... but I only think with one mind...so it works out pretty well. Gold is our common search...people are pretty much the same everywhere, yes? In NC ( that's North Carolina...on the Atlantic coast) flour gold, tiny grains of "color" are everywhere,but scattered so thinly as to make prospecting for it a bit of a hassle. Most people don't bother...the gold areas have been picked over for years & years & years...especially in the "great depression" of the '30s. But there is still gold left! We have "pay-to-pan" sites in some areas of the state...but digging is not allowed! You can dredge in some creeks, but only in the streambeds...not into the banks! As an attempt to come by some of these riches, I developed the "Goldpype" , a link between panning and sluicing. Pans are slow (and heavy!) ; sluices are lossy! The "Goldpype" captures 100% of the gold from the sands / soils / clays / muds fed into it. As soon as it gets real warm (the creeks and rivers are still quite cold!), I'm going to go get wet! My E-mail address is : [ goldpype at yahoo dot com ] ... my Website is : [ http colon slash slash www dot freewebs dot com slash aurumaster slash ] ... this is a spam-proof URL format (sorry, clickers!)... but I get lots of spam! I don't need more! I HATE spam!!! |
