Gold Prospector Joke

Image
Three guys went into a gold mine and showed the manager their resumes. There was a Canadian guy, an American guy, and a Korean guy. The Canadian got to work the cranes. The American guy got hired to be the engineer for the cranes. The Korean guy got to be in charge of the supplies. One day the American and Canadian were walking down the main tunnel in the lowest level. All of a sudden the American says, "Hey. Have you seen the Korean because I haven't seen him since we all handed in our resumes together." The Canadian says, "No, I haven't seen him either." Right then, the Korean jumped out of a dirt mound in front of the guys and yelled, "Supplies!!"

Supposedly Second Largest Reserves in the World According to Russian Ministry of Natural Resources

Would you like a little history about the Russian natural resources? Would you like the facts? This article goes into detail about what happened to the Soviet economy from 1980 on and will give you a better idea of what resources it can bring to bear in the future. The overtures of Gorbachev were cut short, and as a consequence, the people of Russia did not appreciate the benefits of these overtures. It was a great idea. But as history can run, things did not pan out the way they were supposed to. For a good look at contemporary Russian history and the situation vis-a-vis gold, read this article. According to www.gold.org this is the story: Gold Reserves in Russia averaged  967.11 Tonnes  from 2000 until 2021, reaching an all time high of 2299.87 Tonnes in the second quarter of 2020 and a record low of 343.41 Tonnes in the second quarter of 2000.

My Adventures in Gold Prospecting

Culverts to crevices, to old ore piles and grassy areas where gold has been found, to stream beds in the hills - these are all places you can discover gold. Knowing about a few of these places can increase your chances of finding color. Here's the new article I wrote.

Miller Table Fine Clean Up of Flour Gold About a Hundred Bucks

Image
For those of you who enjoy sifting out flour gold, this is a very good video about the Miller Table. It is said that it works better than a blue bowl. I have a blue bowl, and the video certainly makes it look like it is better. This would be handy for people who live in an area where there is a lot of flour gold. Of course, it all depends on what the rock is upstream to determine if a place has a lot of flour gold (and sampling).Maybe you will find this interesting also? In a nutshell, these tables are designed to separate gold from black sand. The table surface can be made from a number of materials that are covered in the article. All the gold remains on the table surface while sand and debris fall off the table end. The article explains how to run the table and why it works the way it does. Read up on Miller tables before you make a purchase or build one yourself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6x6ON3jUGU

For All Gold Prospectors Who May be Having Trouble With All Browsers

Image
I have had a problem with all browsers when trying to go to any web address. It was taking me forever to get to the address, and forever to load the web page. I finally found out what the problem is. I think it is a Windows thing. If you are using Windows XP (which I use), follow these steps: Go to your desktop Right click once Select Graphics Properties Select Display Settings Go to Screen Resolution and choose 1024x760 Click apply. Click OK. I run 32 bit and refresh rate is 60 hertz. Leave that alone. Hope this saves you time. I spent a lot scouring the net to find out what was wrong. Peace. Designed by freepik.com
