The Prospectors Dicionary

Posted by Howard Hadsall on October 28, 2011 at 1:16pm

I find There are many words and phrases that most people that  are new to the Prospecting world may be confused by so it might be helpful for them to compile a list.  I expect I need a lot of help with this so every one is invited to add thier own !!

         1   Bucket Butt    A feeling you get in your rear after sitting on a Bucket to long, A really bad case can be seen and shows up as circular impressions on your Butt !   

      2   Picker      A piece of Gold big enough to pick up with your fingers   no relation to what comes from your nose 

      3   A bucket of cons    A standard 5 gallon bucket 1/2 full or less of concentrates as a full bucket weighs more than most of us want to lift.

      4  Kink    What your back does after lifting a full bucket of con's

      5   Get started early     9:00 am 

                               Now add Your Own !!!
