    Fish stockings

    There had been a race for naturalists to name the various subspecies, totalling over 40 birds. Our friend Dr Coues was hot in the chase...

    Sad anniversary

    Rough day. The man whom taught me to hunt, fish, never whine and by example; how to honor the women in my life, passed 5 years ago today. He was old school, tough, unapologetic and worked hard for the family. 92 years young, WWII vet and still sharp as a tack. I think he had a pretty good run

    Sad anniversary

    Dad loved dogs, the only time I ever saw him cry was when our family dog passed. He always spoke fondly of the begals he raised and bred, one in particular named Duchess. She had a knack of barking wherever she was when she heard her name called and racing back to him. Just hours before dad died, he sat up looking out the hospital window and said Duchess was out on the grounds chasing a rabbit. Mom looked out the glass and said she didn't see her. Dad said she's out of sight now but I hear her bawling, she's on the hunt. I can only infer that this was Duchess's turn to call dad home.

    That kills the value. I have a 2nd generation Walker made long ago by Umberti. Like shooting a magnum with 50gr black powder.

    Northern CA land 1 NEED TO SELL

    I told you where the scammer thing came from. And this and other ads may be legit but youre messaged by a scammer who has hacked his profile. Understand? I believe Josh works nights so he's not able to get with moderators to straighten his account out. I've left a message on his home phone.

    Northern CA land 1 NEED TO SELL

    I'm sure you're correct. Meanwhile, caution, he's been hacked by a scammer. The hacker reached out to me via a PM and wanted money sent to KY with a phone number I didn't recognize out of CO. I tried doing business with UggRedBilly akaJosh? Weeks ago so I believe I already had a good 480 number for him in the east valley.

    Good Find

    I was given permission to metal detect in an abandoned mining camp yesterday. Mostly tin cans and broken bottles were dug up but I did find one intact perfume bottle. I started finding where the crucibles from the assessors office were tossed and was hoping to find an intact one when I hit a good target. Wasn't attracted to a magnet, nor was the oxidation and crust rusty at all. Too big to be a coin and weighs exactly 2toz. Put it in acid and vinegar overnight. Tests out .925 silver. Why was it there in a 19th century dump? It's obviously been poured into a crude mold or crucible. Could the crucible have been tossed out with the silver still in it? Normally the crucibles are crushed and reran through the smeltering process because 100% of the mineral content is not poured out, leaving small amounts of precious metals behind. However it got there, this mine produced 250000 ounces of silver in its day. I can now account for two of those ounces.

    Recognize mountains?

    Close, it's Hovatter road. But if you take the Sore Finger exit and go north, just as you get out of sight of I-10, there's a rape tree on the west side of the road where there's room to pull over. If you've never seen a rape tree, it's alarming, sad and enraging all at the same time. Go a little further up the road, stay to the right and you'll be driving through the cemetery of the ghost town, Harrisburg.
