Careful bringing a "friend" that you have to "convince" to go with. If the answer isn't "HELL YEA BUDDY!" when you say "want to go get some gold?" then tell them to F*** Off because they'll do jack shit till they see a pile of gold THEN they want to contribute and cash in on easy (hey it's easy if you do nothing but watch) money.

Sounds like its time to start hunting the deserts, that's where all the good stuff is anyway

Someone isn't doing their job when it comes to QC... likely under pressure to keep up production when behind so they let little crap slide (like the packaging process) I'd put money on it being a packaging/shipping problem.

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..

If I ever placer it'd have to be with a dredge or hoe & trommel.

I'd rather have that problem than the opposite. I can't deal with lazy.

Good stuff, thanks.

If anything should be easier to hit a telluride nugget... silver is the most conductive element we know, can't imagine that would hurt?

Bummer I just wrote a business plan up today who's focus is REE deposits. I have my work cut out for me then eh :)

In the process of finding the right person to mine with... any advice from those who have been there and done that would be great. Thanks. Small Scale Mining.
