Admin nuggethunting Posted November 3, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hello All, Sure nice that gold is over $800 per Troy Ounce for the guys that are finding enough of it. However, seems like the price of everything else is also going up. It takes me now $65-$70 to fill up my gas tank. A normal prospecting day cost me probably $75 if you include gas, food, wear and & on the your vehicle. I liked gold when it was $300 per ounce!

Miner Matt Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Luckly for me I can start detecting right out my back door.So gold going up has got me excited.Last time I checked it was over $835. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Gosh Miner Matt... It has been my long standing impression that as gold goes "up"the better areas are withdrawn from access. You are most fortunate to detectout your back door... You are one of the lucky ones that are in an area close to you.As Grubstake likely remembers, my 'ol 1979 F-150 4-wheel drive needs lot'sa gas. If I drive carefully at 50 MpH, I get as much as 8 or 9 MpG. As an example it is over650 miles round trip for me to go to the Majuba Placers (AKA "Ryepatch"). So it parks.(Anyone want'a buy it?... Grin) I now have a Chevy Malibu and am back to coinhunting... Not out my back door... butjust a few miles away... Less than a gallon of gas round trip. Lots'a clad in some of theparks and occasionally some silver in an older area... So... as gold goes up... and you need to go out "beeping," try coinhunting. You could evenfind enough clad to pay for the gas and maybe a senior coffee at Mac's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 Hi "Dutch John",You are absolutely correct, as the price of gold goes up, more and more restrictions will occur. Laws will be passed as a result also to take advantage of the high prices and they won't be in the interest of the small guy. So, hunting gold will become more restricted for the individual if not banned in the distant future.As for the price of gas increasing, do what I did and that is "don't get mad, get even". I did this by purchasing a used hybrid vehicle. My mileage went up from 12 to 13 city mpg or 15 to 18 mpg highway to about 35 mpg average and that is in the city or out on the highway. On my last trip to Cripple Creek which is a good 190 mile jaunt round trip with much of it in the mountains, I averaged over 37 mpg just by taking it easy. So, now I laugh as I pass the gas pumps. When you have to stop for gas with a hybrid, it does take some of the pain out of the stopping. Since my hybrid is a SUV, I can get off road some also. One other beauty of my Ford SUV hybrid is I don't have to plug the thing in at all. So, I don't need a long extension cord either.So, I can still take reasonably long trips since my SUV doesn't need large gas fixes. Heck, if it stays as warm as it is, I just might take a trip next week to Breckenridge for some very late nugget hunting here in CO.As for coin hunting, the local city park is about 5 miles from my house and my SUV hybrid runs most of that way on the electric motor using no gas.

dutch john Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 Howdy all. Reg 'ol buddy... We have seen both good and bad... As we both haveworked in the steel mills. You as a high-tec electrician keeping the mills going around and around. While I was a dumb-old turn foreman in the finish end Roll Shop putting up with lot'sa grief as the rolls were not goingaround... but wobbling. I was lucky as I saw the end coming and quitsuddenly... Now Kaiser Steel is gone... but the site is now a race track...Not great for our National Economy...Before this I worked at Eagle-Picher in Lovelock as a foreman/contolmanand it is going stong. Mining and processing filter-grade diatomaceous earth.Before E-P I was a flotation operator for Kennecott Copper in McGill Nevada. I quit suddenly as the operation was on it's way out... Nowit is gone... Back then copper was about 24 cents a pound and it wascosting KCC about 26 cents to make... With the copper was "molly," gold,and some other needed stratigic metals... Both Reg and I have seen good and bad times... Everybody... stay positive and keep the faith... I just got very sad news: Bonnie Wendt just sent me an e-mail... Ron Wendtjust passed away... Ron and Bonnie were a great team... They Published"The Alaska Goldfield Magazine." And over the years Ron has pubilshed manybooklets... and contrbuted freelance articles in all of the treasure/prospecting/mining journals. Hurridly...
