Isn't silver easier to find, I still have yet to find any silver with my gold. Must be some old wise tales.

loki258: Same for the all the boards too, most people are slowing down for the year. Me personally this is my favorite time of year to prospect. Sept 26, 2014 12:30:30 GMT -5

wtigersc7: slow down?? shoot I kept making trips to the camp all last winter, thats why I built my gold re-circulating system so I can be able to run dirt at my house anytime I want in my shed. Sept 26, 2014 15:45:27 GMT -5
