2014 ICMJ Mining Summit Daily Photo Album

[Steve Herschbach]

Chris Ralph and I drove to Placerville, CA from Reno yesterday. Then up early this morning to join caravan from Auburn to a private mine near Iowa Hill. ICMJ Editor Scott Harn did an introduction to the crowd and the festivities started. Was nearly 200 people in attendance and about 100 of those had metal detectors. I tried to help one group of GMT owners get started off right but hard to do much with so many people, especially when they are all anxious to start looking for gold. There was a large number of highbankers set up for those more inclined towards working bedrock with a shovel. Weather had been rainy but quit when we got there and although a little cool was actually nice for digging. Unfortunately Chris and I had to run back to Reno early to get more show supplies so we were not there until end of day but will be back again Monday.
