Time flies when having fun. Have been digging on my claims and not much found. In April went off to Twentynine Palms Calif. for some dry washing for gold. In May it was off to the Royston Turquoise mine near Tonopah Nevada to dig for Turquoise and exploring of other old mines in the area. The Royston has to be some of the easiest digging in the dumps for Turquoise I have ever done. OK, Dean Otteson the owner bull dozed some old tailings a few days before and also allowed us to dig from about 10:00 AM to Sunset. This Sunday, 6/22/08 is the annual Cerro Gordo one day a year dig in the dumps day and I will be there. For the next 3 Fridays I have volunteered my time to helping out our local gold prospecting gold club at the Del Mar Fair. Mid July a few of us will be dredging for gold on the middle Fork of the Yuba River for gold. Until next time Richard See all posts...
