  6. Friend of mine made arrow heads , everywhere he went he would toss his arrow heads all over the place ..
    Like rest areas , peoples drive ways and in there yards .
    One time my friend and i was visiting another friend ,,, Doug the arrow head maker tossed a hand full of arrow heads in his front yard .
    The friend we visited was telling me about 6 months later after finding a bunch arrow heads he thought his property that the native American Indians had at one time use to camp there allot because of all the arrow heads he had found in his front yard LOL ..

    Gee never found too much of interest except for a pillow tag from the 1920s and a Penny from 1928. Though I have to admit this would be a fun camping activity to try out.

  8. Glad I saw this thread. I found about a half dozen arrow heads in the neighborhood I grew up in as a kid. There was a little fort/playground in the middle of it. It's still there. The name was Fort Spunky in my neighborhood of Spunky Creek. I found these arrowheads all at the very hill where the Battle Of Fort Spunky transpired. A stone monument of sorts holds a bronze plack saying that this was one of the first battles against the "Indians", Natives. Think it said it was the first. Just up the street was a Trading Post that sold Native American artifacts. Literally another street over is now the Hard Rock Casino now. The name of the school in this town that I went to was Catoosa Indians. They had preassure and changed the name of the school to Catoosa Warriors back 10 years ago when eveyrone was harping on political correct stuff. That's how I know those arrowheads I found were real. That's why I feel everyday for the little boy carrying arrowheads in his pocket so eventually he would be left with not a single arrowhead.

  15. Back when I was on the pills/booze run, I woke up after a binge to the mail lady dropping off a gold pan kit that I have no recollection of ordering. I still have it but don’t get to the creek these days.

  16. Northern Nevada has produced more gold then any other place in the world ..
    We have the Carlin Trend , and it has been producing 50 billion a year in gold for decades .
    But that doesn't make finding the gold or getting the gold out the ore easy , safe or inexpensive.
    Allot of the gold is microscopic .. and it a heap leech recovery ..
    You heap a mountain of ore on a giant leech pad .. ( on clay or rubber pad ) then drip water/cyanide solution
    on the heap leech pad dissolving the gold out of the ore ..
    The water being drained off the leech pad is then ran through carbon sheets .
    The dissolved Gold attaches its self the the carbon sheets and the carbon sheets are melted down ..

    I have worked in mining for 30 years I picked up rock of the shop floor about the size of a football.
    the rock had about 45.000 in gold in it .
    But I was a employee and turned the rock into my foreman of the shop .
