Greetings fellow prospectors, I just came home from Afghanistan and unfortunatly got busted up pretty bad and now honorbly discharged from the Marinecorp, I just purchased my first dredge/highbank combo from the folks at thermal city and went and tested it out, I think that I am losin more gold that im keepin, I did find some color but feel I am doin something wrong,I live in Salisbury and would live to be involved with new friends or clubs in the prospecting world, I take my wife and daughter with me when we camp at some of these places, but I think I need some pointers from more experienced prospectors, my set is a 2.5 inch keene powered with a briggs,
looking forward to hearing from people
Sincerely, Sgt Fox |

They may still be there or are going but the weather wasnt to good around the area last night(poured). To my knowledge its astro and Dr phil highbanking. You would benefit greatly if you can hook up with these guys sometime..(alot of knowledge, friendly) I just dont know if they are there for sure. |
