I have been fully involved in my wifes care for a few years and my own health problems and have lost contact with all my friends except Steve Eshbaugh. I figured I had better get on here and see who is left , looks like this may get a lot of us old folks. Any one that remembers me please contact me if you wish , could not remember my old user name but found my old gold wheel and pans in my stowage yesterday and believe it or not I still have some concentrates from my Idaho days when I got over 16 ounces in the summer of 2010. Some of my 30 year collection of rocks,minerals and crystals survived my 2013 house fire just smoked up , lost some gold and learned the lesson to NEVER store gold in plastic or glass , only in tight strong metal containers. Thanks Bill for all your prior help. Max Borden

Welcome home Max.

Thanks Frank, I  have been lost! Do you still have those camo army pants that I gave you at gold basin ? Man it was cold and that cougar scared  hell out of me !

We have been back several times but never saw him again. Hope you are doing well!

Welcome back MAX, yep, I'm still around, just too sick to do any detecting anymore, Grubstake

Thanks grubstake, I know how you feel I have been using a walker since I had a hip replaced. Hang in there , the alternative is not too good either.

Wife use's a walker, I use a cane sometimes, but my problem is my heart, had a really bad heart attack back in OCT. thats number 14 for me in 12 years. have 11 stents, and have had a 5X'S bypass. Still on the top side of the grass, you can't kill someone that been through hell. Grubstake

 

 

Well I guess you can kill me! you just can't eat me! That against the law!
