Prospecting with Ed and Jesse was asked by the Buckeye Chapter of the GPAA to try and get together with local Boy Scout troops in the North west part of Ohio to promote prospecting. We were invited to attend and give panning demonstrations at this years Klondike Derby at Camp Miakonda, Erie Shores Council,  in Toledo Ohio.Jan,27,28,29. Thanks to the Ohio State Prospectors Association and The Buckeye chapter of the GPAA and their volunteers we should be able to put on a good demonstration

 In the process of promoting prospecting and educating the public on the history and necessity of mining, we have been contacted by a couple of veterans organizations that want us to work the the physically disabled veterans and veterans suffering from PTSD & TBI. This is something both Ed and I are committed to do, but we need your help. We are asking the members and our friends to help us in this endeavor. Ed and I have started what we call our demo-con bucket. In this bucket we will be putting the cons we get from the "BUCKET" whenever we go out prospecting. Our problem is that being in Ohio it will take us a long time to fill a five gallon bucket with cons enough to take around to these different Veterans events and to make sure the vet have wonderful experience. We don't have the money to buy bags of pay-dirt to get us were we need to be so we are asking our friends and members of this site for donations of some of there cons that we can add to the Demo-cons bucket. all those that donate will be mentioned in our videos unless you ask us not to mention your name.

 So if you want to help us help some vets with donations you can message me or Ed here on GPS 

 thank you very much Jesus Mendez (toledojess)
