Old Tom Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 If I can find a 1985, 350 exhaust manifold we will have the RV there in camp. Right now I'm having trouble matching the mounting holes after a brazing job on a crack. I'm looking foward to the weekend of the 15th and I don't want to sleep on the ground anymore. I know some of you guys will be up that way so stop in and have a beer or so. Old Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulder dash Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Trash bags classic. Member that time we were being excessively rained on whilst standing under the largest tree during a thunderstorm? Luckily someone had the wisdom to provide two trash bags to attempt to keep us dry. We should of shared with your pops man was he wet. Good times that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boulder dash Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 We have knee pads on in the rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Now I know just who to go fishing with when you have just one life ring and the boat goes down. Poor pops had to endure while two youngsters were nice and dry. Man that sure is cold when the water starts to run down the back of your neck and backside. No place to go except under a tree and that ain't so good the way the lightning was that day. Still we had fun and lots to remember.

Uncle Ron Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Well, I'm sitting here in Wickenburg looking out my home office window at Rich Hill--or would be looking at Rich Hill if it wasn't totally hidden by heavy rain falling ... But the good news is that there's also a rainbow with one end right at Decision Corner and the other end stretches all the way to LSD ... Good Luck T&T ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZNuggetBob Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Gee I dont know Ron from my point of view the rainbow goes from Rich Hill to Vulture. Hmmm AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted December 14, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hey Guys, I know we got hammered here in Surprise with rain. My guess is Rich Hill area will be nasty, but could be good for nugget hunting old patches. Sometimes the damp ground being more conductive can help detectorists squeak out deeper nugget(s). Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clay Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Sounds like you are missing us Prickly. I heard your Flightdeck slid into Angel's wash in this most recent rain. You want to come out and do the mud rodeo to see if it's got any exposed nuggets? Hang in there buddy - you will eventually tire of that flour gold and return to the land of big nuggets. We look forward to that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted December 16, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hello All, Well Rich Hill was so damn wet and muddy, I bailed out of there this afternoon. The rain didn't stop, a steady down pour from 5am to around noon. Everything was soaking wet, Antelope Creek was starting to run and all the roads were slippery and muddy (some of the worst I have seen). I did run into Tom & Tom Sr. and they were also on their way out before they got the RV buried somewhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highbanker58 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 That Stanton road got so bad a few x-mas' ago, we had to stay an extra day before the road was passable.The mud ruts were up to the axles on my trailer. I hope it dries out for the GPAA outing this month. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck...on the way out I was looking at the drainage on the side of the road and it would have been nice to set up a small sluice in it!

AZNuggetBob Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Hey TomGood to hear things worked out. I ran into Rob and D today they said they were going to go out and check on you guys see if you needed any help. Gees Tom you forgot the sluice box. Oh well seems like every time I head out I forget something. Hope you had fun. and BTW did you find any gold. AzNuggetBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 We only got one small nugget Bob but the Gold Bug Pro out did the mine lab this time. I found it below your old patch by the road in. Lots of junk from the old miners in that spot, you can see the clearings and foundations where they lived. That tin and wire will be there long after I leave this earth. It's a running lesson in keeping our enviroment as clean as possable. We had a ball but we also found a couple of leaks in the RV that we wern't prepared for. Tom threw a tarp over that window and we made out great. Yeah we saw Rob and Dennis on the way out and spoke with them for a while. Great hunt and can't wait for the next time. Old Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
