HaHa!, I know what you mean John, The heat seems to suck everything out of me and replace it with a serious case of drowsiness!

In what 'generalized' area, did you find that bleepity bleep bleep sign? Greg

I wish her all the luck that she needs to get the Gold!

Swamp, sounds like you landed some deals too! I don't think I could store vintage stuff without knowing what working shape it was in, LOL, it would make me crazy wondering! You are correct with your anchor assesment, in fact that is exactly how I was going to describe the weight of my components, but my post was getting so long. No plastic to speak of in those things! Oregal1976, it is amazing! i think part of the reason, probably the main, driving reason, for the amount of stuff a person can find is because of the population out here. Which is why I am looking for greener

Quote - Oregal1976 ; ".. It's all about nostalgia. Each and every album has it's place and associated memories with different parts and times over the course of my early life. I've always been weird that way about music. I can listen to certain pieces and recall related events from my past so clearly that I actually taste, smell and feel everything connected to the memory and see it in my mind as though I was there again. It's nice to still have that connection to my past and to be able to visit at will. No, I don't live in the past like that all of the time, nor would I want to! Music ha

Thank you, Terry. I have seen the advertisements on television about them, and had considered getting two, one for my wife, and one for myself, but haven't pulled the trigger so far. Your video has convinced me to do it. By the way, it sure is nice and green there. Here, it is always dead brush brown, Ha Ha! Greg

To answer your question, I would say that the answer to that is a resounding "YES"!!!!! That is just my opinion, though, ..... and I am aware that opinions are like other parts of the anatomy, Ha! Greg

Are those, " tail drag marks" from Tahoe Tessie? What is just across the lake, just shy of the far shore, in the water, about 9 o'clock? Ha! Greg

Happy Birthday, Hope it is a good one! Greg

Boulder Dash, appreciate that, I did not know! Greg

Nice gold, Adam, I agree with AU Seeker about the nugget sitting at about 11 o'clock in that picture! As for the unknown creature, I was thinking a civet cat, but you can't see the tail. I googled (images) and was schooled in how many color variations there are. Here is a photo that resembles your picture, at least the general head, leg, and foot shape. I don't know, however, if they are found in the area you were in or not. ? Greg

Thanks for posting that, Don, pretty amazing stuff. I have their bedliner sprayed in the bed of my truck, but after seeing this stuff, and the way the egg and cup showed what they result in after being treated,... WOW! I am going to stop in and check this latest stuff out, the shop is about 1 mile from where I live. I'll let you know what I find out. Greg

Thank you Johnno, it was a good day!

April 20th, April 29th, and April 30th. Thank you for the opportunity/ies. ! Greg

Nice pictures, Fred, I like the one of your two friends. Like Tom says, "it looks like some pretty barren land." I am always amazed at how they get by, with what seems to me, not near enough water at any given time. Greg

Mike, PM sent to you. Please check your inbox. Greg

Just found this Skip and Al, been away from the forums for a while. Really appreciate your well wishes! Greg

Yep, Pretty crazy, I agree Don. I know meteorites, and/or material is expensive, depending on the rarity, but this, IMO, is crazy. I had to laugh. I guess if you consider the rarity and age of this meteorite, and what was entailed in fabricating the firearm and components from it, it would be expensive.... but that much? Whew!....

I ran across this article, and thought some of you might like it.... http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2016/01/14/guns-made-meteorite-price-tag-1-million.html?intcmp=hpbt3 Greg

Andyy, Just my opinion, but here goes... I don't think you will find such maps, as they are inherently different than placer claims. Placer claims, being a plot on top of the ground, and visible, are easy to map. Lode claims, not visible, being underground, cannot be mapped like placer claims. I doubt that anyone would keep a data base of lode claims as with every claim/workings, being different than the next, there are too many variables to map and keep track of. Every mine probably has records and mapped records of developed mines, but, in my opinion, most, if not all of those types of arc

You bet, Don. They do look interesting. I've got just the place, actually a couple of them, that this just fits the ticket to get a better view of what I need to see. I just have to wait until after the holiday spending for family and grandkids. Then I can sped a little for me!

This is the one that he says he was using, and the link that he provided, wayyyyyyy down on his page, lol! http://www.amazon.com/Yuneec-Typhoon-Quadcopter-Gimbal-Steady/dp/B015Y59T8E/ref=sm_n_ma_dka_US_e4044_T1_pr_pub_0_0?linkCode=w43&tag=brokerforyou-20&linkid=09d17340ddd4c6c4c1de05d49bde6795 Hope this helps, Don.

Could it be a fossil... petrified reptile egg?

The wife knows everything won,.... but I bet she's still a nag. Ba Da Boom.

I'll guess 54 oz.
