Caliche Chris Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hello everyone, this is just a message going out to any prospectors in or near sierra county, NM. If you have claims you would like to work but don't have the time or energy to do it. Please feel free to take me along and I will do the labor intensive work for you for a small percentage of the finds. I've been doing odd jobs in TorC until a more permanent employment oppurtunity arises. I have worked with/for several people in the area the last few months and I can give you several references that will vouch for me being a reliable, honest, and hardworking person. I have my own transportation and a fierce desire to work hard and put some change in my pocket. If your wondering about the title to this post, I'm referring to myself as the automated digging machine. Just get me on the site and turn me loose where you see fit. The only fuel I need is the occasional sandwich or burrito break. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caliche Chris Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey Frank, if I ever make it out that way I'll try to get ahold of you. It's certainly a possibility. I have a small rv I'm staying in right now so it's not any big deal for me to relocate. Especially for some decent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawmill Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 King TorC is a tough place to find a job. I have cut a few thousand of those salt cedars to,add a few pesos to the piggy bank,during the winter. What kind of a job are you lookingfor?

Caliche Chris Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Hey sawmill, yea good jobs seem to be pretty scarce around here. I suppose if you had a cdl you might find some work. I'm not real picky at this point. I worked for a floor maintenance company for 3 years in KY before moving out here. Ideally, I would like to get a floor buffer and start looking for some contracts in town polishing floors. I know there are several places that have floors that need buffing periodically such as bullocks, all the gas stations, Walmart and a couple of restaurants as well. Until that happens (IF it happens) I'll take whatever work I can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawmill Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 King Yeah that CDL goes a long way for getting a job. I have had one for 45years and still use it. The thing about good jobs around TorC is,most are handeddown from Father to Son,or another relative There is always someone ready to takeover a good job. My wife was born at Chloride,and we have lots of family and friends scattered allover Sierra County,and New Mexico from one end to the other.

Caliche Chris Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yep, it seems like most jobs out here are acquired by knowing the right person. If you hear of any one needing any odd jobs, yard work, ect. Feel free to refer me. I had my cdl permit when I was 19 but I never went and took the driving test to get licensed. Sure wish I had!

Caliche Chris Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I hear you home fire. That's why I'm so interested in prospecting, it seems like if you are in the right spot around here you might be able to make enough to get by.....of course that could be wishful thinking on my part but I sure hope it works out for me.

homefire Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Not meaning to disparge ya but that's wishfull thinking .Workable Placer is all claimed up or hidden to access.You Really Need to find someone with a Payable Claim that's too lazy to work it.Your Not going to know what is or what's not unless you put boots on the ground and know what your doing.I and a few have some spots to play in and it's all held close to the Vest.Some of my spots are OK for the for the day or day or soDone all Leagle like in the Forest creaks by the books but the Rangers get upset if they see you there more then a day or two.No Digging in the Banks, Greens or Under Stumps and Trees.The ones where I go get really upset if they find you Jacking a Big azz Rock!Your Not going to make any kind of living unless your on someones claim and the ground is hot and Payable grounds.

Caliche Chris Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Hey, that's quite alright. I'd rather have someone tell me the truth about it than for me to spend money on equipment and then fail miserably. For right now, since I don't have a job, I figure any speck of gold is better than nothing so ill keep piddling with it until I find some work or a decent spot I can legally look for gold.

homefire Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Didn't say it's not there.If your going through the area it's a good pit stop to pick up a few bucks MAYBE!Camp out and Hit.Don't make a Mess so the Bone Heads go after the Rest of us?

Caliche Chris Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 The only thing I leave behind is boot tracks, and the occasional pile of classified rocks that goes into the hole when I'm through. If I find anything worth bragging about you can bet I will put pics up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
