TomH Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hey all: Got back around 9 tonight.Got to say the outing was a real good time! The trip to the outing was a little rough towing the 4runner..it was windy and we were fighting it in the RV. It was acting like a pick up truck full of dirt...especially when the semi's would pass me. Think I need some stabilizers on the tow bar.The trip back was a little odd also. Dern charging cicuit went out and blew the running light and dash fuses. Weeee....got some work to do now!Had to stop and put some jumper cables on the aux battery to feed the main bat. and limp it back home. But, we made it Running on one headlight and everything shut off to make it home. Ran into some old friends. Found some new friends First two days we were cleaning up the hills of junk left from the old timers. Got some cool copper ore and a realy nice little bottle. No chips and it has started to turn purple. Sunday got really good!A friend took us out to his spot and one of the guys that was with us got a reeeealy nice nugget. Bout a 4 pennywight. The other guy got some with his GB2...SWEET! (bows to the master of the GB2) It was a really great 3 days with everyone.BILL............Thanks for putting it on! Also...if the guy that was asking about Bob Rose could contact me at oldies1955@cox.net I will get you his PH# to call him The two marines that came in from Yuma.........Keep at it! get that new vac going and geet some gold Tks all.Tom H.

Buckeye Boy Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Hi Tom, Glad you had a great time. It is funny but last night I passed a one headlight motorhome (class C if I remember right) pulling a primered 4runner. It was east bound I-10 at the Miller road exit in Buckeye a little after seven. Don't know why I remember that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why I remember that.That was us!It was like driving with a bic lighter for headlights...but I wanted to get home. Was praying there were no cops sitting on the side of the road.Tom H.

Think we went from the Revolutionary war all the way up tothe early 70s. Funny how those two knew of all the areas/places and such and have never met. Then to find out he was friends with my father in law and Gold King...crazy!!! Probaly met my wife when she was running the register at the store in PHX. What a small world.Thats a pretty cool shovel. 1952 and in that great of shape is awsome!Hey your two nugs are better them my NO nugs. its all good. Skunks keep us humble.Plus...I think that my bottle is worth about 10g's on the antique roadshow. :PTaker easy and tks for the outing........memories to last a lifetime.Tom H.
