Cool photo Chris, I have always wanted to go into that mine, been up there a couple of times to see the mine and see some of the gold that comes out of it. Thanks for sharing Chris.
Condor, I've got no problem with your rant you have provided some use full information and i am glad you shared, thanks.
Merton,I am still looking but running out of files to search.
Yes i remember it and even had a copy and most likely still do if i can find it, since i have not been able to come dredge in California since the ban i stashed it with my last permit which was for 2007, now if i can dig it up i will post a copy .
Very cool that you still have a piece of 19'th century California history that your ancestor found some thing great to pass on into the future.
Roaring Camp is a nice place ,it was fun to just go down in there and spend a week sniping the river and finding gold.
I know when i called Chris at AZO i got the ferrite rings for myself and my brother very quickly,he like Rob had the rings early and sent them out 2 day mail.
