Hi all.
I just wanted to drop in, say HI and let you know what I've been up too.
I took in The GPAA's Gold Show last weekend in Pomona, California. I yacked it up with "Andrea" at Valley Prospectors, (what a delightful lady she is) and many old friends. I parked my butt at The Route 66 Gold Miners booth and saw “Rusty" from Rusty's Gold. I truly haven't had that much fun in years. I spent a lot of time just chatting it up with everyone. Even though I had planned on taking in a seminar or two, I never made it.
(I was one of the first 100 at the door so I got a gold vial but the gold panning exhibit was a real hoot. I got in line, took my turn and recovered a real nice amount of fine Gold that they let me have. NICE - (Did I say "I can pan"? LOL)
What was the best part at the show for me? I met Mark Keene. WHAT A great guy he is. Fellas...he's a prince of a man. He’s a kind, honest and talented engineer. His company is really trying to provide the very best products at the very best prices. It's all family owned and run.
He looked at some of the pictures of my old wooden Dry Washer (The one I'm attempting to restore from the dilapidated Ghost town style) and he LOVED it. He then spent considerable time helping tutor me and helping me to re-design this "Old Boy" into a modern 21st century prospecting machine.
This week he sent me a "Care Package" with the parts I need to make this thing a Gold Magnet ! The design is based on Keene's 151 Dry Washer.
I plan on writing something up with real world test results so I can share it with you. (And Keene Engineering/Research) I'll outline what I tried (WE TRIED) and how it turned out.
