pkirkll Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hello all,I am back from taking dad on a trip to TNWe were going to try and find an old ring he lost but the people who lived there had plowed it all up diging around and had had numerous people there looking for Dad's treasure!!! lololWell, dad also came clean and told me him, mom, and a friend had gone out many times with their metal detectors they bought specifically to find the ring...So the fun there was talking with the family and enjoying how the grown up kids remembered my dad.... one told us the story of how impressed he was to see my dad give a hog an injection--he had never seen an animal ( and maybe a person) ever get a shot--- that impressed him as a kid...As usual the trip was the gold !!!I go to Alaska Saturday and hope to dampen my thirst for gold soon!!!--- Crow Creek calls!!!!paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Been crazy. I was snowing 10 days ago, and two feet if snow at CrowCreek. Temps in the 70s and 80s last five days, creeks running high or looking as late snow melts off. Still will be snow patches at Crow Creek but they are going fast.I am driving to Reno this weekend then flying back to Alaska mid-June to go detecting most if the summer. I have no idea what kind of summer we are shaping up to have weather-wise. The last couple sucked, and this one is off to a strange start so who knows. Just have to wait and see.Good luck and have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Dang Paul it sounds like you are living your dreams. Good for you!Is BB going to join you? Last I heard he was working a nozzle in parts unmentioned. You should take him along I'm beginning to think he's your good luck charm. Of course the fact he can dig like a badger doesn't hurt at all!Have a great trip buddy. Stay out of the Cactus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
