I too was kicking over rocks along the Merced River from 61 To 64 and along the 49’s trail. Not much money so anything I had in the way of equipment I made.

Back in the late 1960's I was happy if I got a speck in the pan for the day...How things have changed

It’s been a beautiful dream that I hope I never wake up from. I just got a few years on you detecting. I was 24 going on 25 when I started. I was prospecting some years before that.

If I make it to Heaven I know I’ll get kicked out for digging up the streets.

If you get kicked out of heaven, you are welcomed to join me where it is a bit warmer and metal detecting is allowed ? When I am done detecting, then I will be officially old. Life would be boring without at least the occasional hunt.

Back then all was coming up silver. The trash was the clad coins.
