Those are the worst pictures ever. It may be Tungsten in the form of sheelite... Gold is often associated with Tungsten

John statements like these give the Eco-Nazi's fuel that can used against us. Yeah it might be a little comical to us because we know your embelishing your fathers work. However for Eco-Nazi's it's not a laughing matter, a mountain being torn down by a guy trying to dig to China for Tungsten is serious business. Before you know it there will be some newspaper article blowing up the context of your statement and using it to emphasize how miners "tear up the environment". Believe it or not these forums are monitored by these people and statements like this can (and have been) used against us. I think you also forgot to mention that your father has a plan of operation in place and a legal mining claim for the work he's doing on his property right?

If you want to see high grade Tungsten ore just head to Atolia southeast of Randsburg. It's a white rock that glows under a blacklight and it's all over the place. You could probably go to the local museum in Randsburg and see some decent ore samples since I believe they might have some.

sorry the pics are bad, im taking from my cell phone,its all i got and its not the best.as for the eco- nazis,sorry bout there luck,my dad owns the 160 acres he tearing up and all mineral rights and everything else.he has dammed up the creek allowing it to continue through the dam to build ponds, the forestry and dfg has come up and tried stopping him ,and they found out soon that as long as it was on his property,and the dam didnt stop the flow to the lower properties,they couldnt do crap.when we got this property it was just all brush.we have clearted acres to make it accesible,made many trails and roads.and he also allows the fird dept to use his place and our water well as base camp when fighting the big fires.he assist them with trenches using his backhoe.he also helps the couty fix the road which is their job when the floods wash it completely away.they can complain and whine all they want,but we own everythiong about this property.we dont need plan of operation, he does what he wants on his place.i see ur points though, but we dont care what they say about us tearing down our own mountains. not trying to make miners look bad,but its ours and if we wanna flatten it out,thats our buisness,lol. not to sound like a ass, but we already been through that stuff, and they said have at it.lol. and were 4 miles up the creek and secluded.only 3 properties up their. im sorry the pics are bad.i was looking for positive help, not complaints .if my pics suck, be much nicer, if ya just say cant tell by the pics than critisize them.like i was saying, if ya know a thing about it,your welcome to come have a look and see what we got.yes, there are few old gold mines,the leibles dad used to mine gold.not sure how roductive they used to be. i been in his mine,still had dynamite stuck in drill holes with small fuse and some no fuse,of coarse i left right away lol. dont wanna disturb that stuff. but i know where all kinds of mines are on our place.some of the shafts that goe straight down close to camp, we filled in so no one falls in. but im just looking for someone who might be able to fill us in on some things, how to find it, how its processed.so on.hes retired, and if hes not chopping wood, hes diggin up stuff with the backhoe.he just wants to mess around with it some.hes bored lol. im gonna go up in day or 2 and see the damage that the floods have done.maybe swing my whites mxt around the old mining homes that use to exist.pan the creek to see if anything new come down.the leibles have found a few gold coins on their property few yrs ago.maybe i will find something like that.we are easy going fellas.my dad is cool. but he does make his own rules on his place lol. when he owns something he owns it lol. ya cant tell him different.like i was asking, if anyone knows a bit, and would like to go and poke around some, this is an invite. if your a greeny and wanna tell us what and what we cant do on our place, dont bother commin. hate when i build a shed or roof my house and someone complains about permits lol. dont get me wrong we aint lawbreakers, just old school.what we do is our buisness.hope this is a better pic.i know my pics suck, but its all i can do right now with this cellphone.
