Booshway | I just got back from prospectin' in Colorado. I put together a brief history of the role the search for gold played in openin' up southwest Colorado. Here is the link for the webpage: http://www.willghormley-maker....uthwestColorado.html It's not all pre-1840, but it is all fun! Will | ||

Well Hey Bookie, Do you do period re-enactment prospectin', or just prospectin'? Where do ya' go in Iowa. My brother sent me a copy of an email about prospecters here in Iowa prospectin' last weekend. I had to give a leather class, otherwise, I would'a packed up the little boys and headed out to see what was up. Will "When Liberty is illegal, only outlaws will be free."

Will, I started up a Gold Prospector's Association in Iowa couple years ago and was the state director till I had to head to Michigan. I'm back now. Bookie and I are prospecting buddies and have prospected from California to the outback in New South Wales, Australia. You use the same principles as they did in the pre-1840's along the Eastern coastal mountains in the U.S. Hoot AL hootalrifleshop.org | |||

Hey Hoot Al, Welcome back to the Ioway country. I should hook up with you ol' grubbers and larn some thangs. With this new "Change you can believe in" economy, it might be well worth my time to learn how to chase color more effectively, and soon! I'd still like to pan British Columbia and Alaska. Maybe California if I could find a spot not too crowded up. Will "When Liberty is illegal, only outlaws will be free." Will Ghormley In 1913, the gold and silver backed dollar was worth a dollar.
