We are getting HAMMERED with rain...............but, at least the temps went up.
Gold rush...........Is that the one where they are unloading the equipment off a flat bed and the crane op. hits a dodge truck parked next to it with the equipment?
Axe Men is a lot of over the top acting, logging outfits don't operate like that.

We got 3" of that damn white stuff last night...........Yes, Gold Rush is that one......I've been watching it, and these guys don't even know how to "pan"???? They have no clue on running a gold mine.
Axe men is the same. I work for several loggers over here, and they all think the show is a joke..........

We use equipment similar to what these guys use, but on a smaller scale. I plan on mining a lot more since I've retired. I'm just getting ready to sell over 7 pounds of silver after the first of next month, but we've never sold any of the gold. With the price of gold rising I think we'll wait a little longer to sell any of it.....

The price of gold is going through the roof with the way the world economy is going. I talked with an old boss of mine the other day and he finally admitted I was right all along. In 1992 I bought 50 OZ of gold for $250/oz. He told me I was crazy and would never get my $$$ back. I told him that gold would be over $1,500/oz in my lifetime, and he said I was crazy.......Guess what, gold is over $1,500 now, and I can see it going a lot higher.......

One of the things that most people don't know is that you don't have to pay taxes on gold you mine UNTIL you sell it.......So if you wait to sell till retirement you pay a smaller amount of money....Plus there is always a black market for gold..........
