Hello Grubstake,

Miner Matt ordered a bunch of stuff when I was out of town. He mentioned through a PM that you guys were coming up, so I was curious what you guys might turn up. I'm sure there is gold there, you just have to get that searchcoil over it!

Thanks for sharing the story and pictures with us.

Your right, he got the stuff. And yes there is gold there, but lots and lots of metal junk, nails and today I dug a target that sounded just like a rail spike, and it was. Lead and nails abound.Grubstake

Grubstake is right rust rust and more rust. But we all had a good time in the hot humid weather.

The gold is here it is just gitting passed all the metal in the ground.

If I knew how I would post a picture of the mine in the 1890's on the forum.

Maybe someone could do it for me?

Search for the Whitlock mine 1890's on the web and there is a neat picture of it on there that could be used.

Later,Matt
