dutch john Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 way2cool...Thank you for asking about my "stuff." Probably my best single book is ADVANCED.It is slanted to epithermal precious metal forming eluvial placers and how to metaldetect them. Some of it may be considered too technical but for the most part it is aneasy read... Today... in my long experience... i consider "epthermals" overlooked and manysmall to large ones are currently being drilled as at depth they overly a CARLIN-type.The current edition also has an expanded appendix on meterorites... Why is ADVANCEDthe best you ask?;One word "Experience." Frankly I did it. I did not wear the seat of my pantsout editing other stuff. I plumb wore my self out actually doing it and I'm lucky to have notbeen crushed or slabbedNow I'm pretty deaf and stove up at 83 and with wife of 58 years now gone; likely I willdo other things (like chasing red headed women my grand father worned me about backin 1948 as I left the Copper Camp of Ely to enter the Mackay School of Mines in Reno)and when my currtent supply of books are sold out that will be it.Frankly; I got the "buzz," and was told loud and clear at a gold show that there are some whohave "Issue's With Me.." Wow... So it up to you my dear readers of over thirty years whatwill be said of 'tailgate' jim straight as the full-timers gather around furture campfires.It must say on this edition " revised September 2010." If Rob will post pg. ii of this latestedition it can be seen... I plan on being the Fairplex gold show on Sunday only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank c Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Jim, don't have any worries about BUZZ or ISSUES.At your age do what comes naturally and satisfies your spirit.You've paid your dues already :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2cool Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks Jim. I wouldn't be too concerned with the people who have issues with you or your books. I would be willing to bet that those people have issues with life in general. Now your grandfather may have been on to something about those red headed women. Take care sir.

dutch john Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 :) :) Hey Bob ol' friend... I'm not in a "tizzy." No reason to be... Frank C you werea positive poster on the the forum where out of the "blue sky" this negativity first happend andI really appreciate you for that... You make a great drywasher and I'm impressed by yourattention to detail... You worked hard and long to make them the best they can be.way2cool... yep my grandfather lived in a wide open rip snorting time in some of the early"epthermal mining camps" during the early period of their discovery. He was truly as self-taught "Lace Boot Mining Engineer" of the "Old School." So I guess he may have knownabout "red headed women wearing black underwear."... But for sure he knew about"epithermals," but likely did not fully understand "where did the vein go?" which bewilderedmany back then. So it soon become known as "hit and miss" prospecting.Hey... how many can say that at age 14 they worked underground using an old jackleg whiledrilling a face in a lease from Consolidated Copper Mines? Well I can. It was Sam Robinsonwho held the lease and he was a close friend of both my dad and grandfather. I can saythe ol jackleg sure tested me... I was knocked end for end many times. Frankly I never gotfully able to control the air valve control... wow. That was one memorial summer for me, thesummer of 1944. I guess this was my start in wearing my self out. Just a dumb kid trying to become a man.But I guess I can say I didn't rust out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM MCCULLOCH Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Friend Jim, you have outclassed, out-worked, out-produced, out-thought, out-wrote and outlasted 99% of the egocentric glory seekers who might have had "issues" with your literary contributions to this hobby. I, and most of us on this Forum, are proud to call you Friend. Hope to see you Saturday at Pomona. HH Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
way2cool Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi Jim I have your lastest edition of Advanced. I also picked up a copy of Gold and Silver deposits of the basin and range province western USA. I believe you recommened that and also stated that it wasn't an easy read, well that was a understatement. It has alot of good info just a little hard for me to digest.
