Hard Prospector Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I have a couple friends that I mine or detect with. Been hunting and fishing with these fellas for decades and trust them like brothers. When detecting we head out different directions. We meet back at camp or the truck at a given time. Finders/keepers on this one and as they swing the best available GPX/GPZ series while me with my TDI.......Oh well suppose I'll always be a drywasher first and speaking of that; Drywashing is hard work as the more dirt gets processed generally the more gold in the box. Nuggets found in the header/tailing piles are shared (as is everything in the tray). Usually we do the gold split at the end of the day before chow. All expenses split accordingly and camp chores shared except that I do all of the cooking and they do dishes. This is only so because neither one can cook worth a damn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent King Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Most partnerships generally fall out from financial pressures. If you got your finances sorted and a good plan from the start your off to a good start. its also good to find someone with different skills to yourself, opposites attract, same argue about how to do it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMine Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Yea I'd like to find someone that compliments my weaknesses... I'm a big picture person going 200mph on 10 lines of thought at any given moment.. sometimes I miss less than significant details right in front of me. I definitely wasn't an accountant in a previous life as strict budgeting isn't my strong point. I do, however, possess quite the nose for gold hounding..

(With some exceptions) Well said Hobo. That's been my experience as well, without exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
