Admin nuggethunting Posted April 11, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Hello Just-John, Those are hard lessons learned. Trust me, when the Super Magnets first came out on the market for prospectors I must have wiped out a dozen credit and debit cards. I finally just stop carry my wallet with me. Nothing sucks more than not having an cash on hand and you're credit card is wiped out! Take care,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotsa Luck Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Great fun to take a super mag in your pocket (without your wallet) and walk by a video game some punked out kid is playing at the mall. For added enjoyment try to find the kid with a real high score going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed in SoDak Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Funny, when I tried one on my debit card, it didn't erase my debt! What's up with that??? -Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexb Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Sounds a little reminiscent of my experience. I developed an oil leak bumping on those Gold Basin roads, camped alone lost Thursday and found my way to camp Friday with some help. I poured 9 quarts of oil in the engine as it drained out a quart an hour and somehow managed to get back (400 miles), engine burned up outside of a 24hr Wal-Mart not too far from home, had AAA tow me, now I have a better car that I'm making payments on, this one has four wheel drive. Would I change going to the outing, no, I enjoyed getting out of my winter rut too much. I would be more careful on some of those bumps though. Here's a pretty little song that kind of fits the circumstance, well somewhat but not really much, but a good excuse to post it anyway, not really implying that anyone is a fool:Fools_Rush_In.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlakMagnet Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 rexb,Boy, that is a rough tale you told.However somehow I felt better at the end of it when you wound upwith a 4x4 (and payments I guess too).Glad you were at least within striking distance of home.And, if you had to catch fire,can't think of a better place to do it than a Walmarts.how's the teleport coming?(I got to get the skunk back to Garimpo,let's test it with him).Good gold hunting song btw...
