Saw this on Facebook. Interesting.

Heading out at 5am to Rye Patch. Will report back to HQ when I return. I've already heard we have our participant that probably came the furthest to the Nuggetshoot. He is from South Africa. Dang.

I want to thank you for the donation. I received the headphones today. Really appreciate you helping make our event better. Scott

You'll know it's me. I'm very short. Like a jockey. I have a giant beard. Lots of tattoo's. And im married to a supermodel. Look for the hottest chick there, I ll be right next to her. On a side note. Its my wife Jan's birthday on Saturday. So come wish her a happy birthday ?

I can't make it until early Saturday morning. Couldn't find anyone to watch my fuzzy lil doggie kids. But we are camping Saturday night.

Hopefully we will have Digger Bob as a guest speaker on Friday evening. Not sure of any other events. NV Chris would be the one to ask about areas to detect around Rye Patch.

If in the area, and you have not got any plans. This is a fun event. And you got a great shot at winning a detector.

1 week away until the event. Mark your calendars. Hope to see some of you there.

I wish I'd known about the mercury dime earlier. I would have bought a couple. Also my favorite coin.

Our guest speaker Ray Mills has had to back out, for a friend in need. So we are looking for another guest speaker. Anyone on here up for that ???

Great detecting! The one lil nug looks like a goldfish.

Gambler, we are expecting 400-500 attendees. But most do drive in the morning of the event. There will be a campsite somewhere there for you. But it just might not be a prime one close to the bathrooms or have trees. So I wouldn't not worry about having a camp.

Klunker, I think your on to something there. Lots of berries, pinecones, yellow jackets. Might be a heavy winter. Got down to 34° last night.

Not prospecting related. But when out detecting this time of year, I always take a bucket, gloves and clippers. I bring as many home as possible to ensure my wife will make some great jellies to last until next year.

Got word from the president. He said the group camp is for our members first. But if there is room left, anyone attending the event can stay there in the group camp. Im heading out Friday morning, but got a friend saving me a spot in his campsite. The lower campsites are better.

Rob Allison has donated a Makro Racer pro package. Dave Varabioff of Goldbay has donated paydirt. Chris Miller of Prospectors Choice has donated a Scout highbanker. Brandon Niece has donated a few book he authored. Thanks all for your generous dontations.

Here is Ricks picture. Got it from his post on FB. I use the simlpe resize too now.

Waiting Fisher, 2016 is nearly over.
