Do you think there is a hidden gem within all the prospects for the NBA? If so, who?

Everybody knows John Wall and Evan Turner will be chosen very high up in the draft, but is there a chance that a team like the Lakers or Magic at the end of the draft uncover a gold mine?

The Spurs have already done it twice, they picked Parker deep in the first round, and incredibly, managed to get Manu deep in the second round.

my friend found an old gold mine in NV. on his property?

Posted on July 28, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I.m looking for good info. from gold hunting hobbiests in Nv. that actually hunt gold today. My friend bought about 40 acers near Dayton NV. He is by comstock,gold hill area. He only recently started looking around last week. He took his lap top with him and was able to show me live feed of it using a web cam. There is old iron stove parts ,etc. laying around the mouth of the horizontal mine hole.The mine is about 5 and a half feet high by about 5 ft. wide and is dug back about 100 ft. or so.Lots of old broken bottles etc. that shows there was a camp there back in the day. He followed an old dried up creek bed that led straight up to the mine. We want to go with metal detectors and “dry sluice” and look in and around the old mine for gold that could still be there. I am currantly researching as much info. as I can on line about gold,that area of NV. etc. We are looking for very solid advice from some old timers that could help us in maximizing our efforts.

Are there any…?

Posted on July 5, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

diamond or gold mine type things open to the public around here?
Also were there any shipwrecks that happened around any of the beaches around here so I can take my metal detector and have a look?
I’m just looking for things to do.
no I just wanted a new hobby and of course it’d be fun to get rich with little or no effort…duh…who wouldn’t wanna. I always wanted to do this stuff back home where I could do it and never got the chance. Now that I am here I wondered if there was somewhere I could. I’m not intrested in the tourist type attractions. I’ve done all those. I live a boring life and want to do something different and that kind of thing seems like it’d be fun to me.
