Tony,

The water up here is NICE now! Got out for a while and look see what I got!
I couldn't believe the dang stone was missing it would have been a 1/2 carat!

That would have been a keeper for sure! But it doesn't look like a total loss. Are those stones under the big one? I can't tell from this tiny monitor I'm looking at right now. That's OK....The part you got will melt nicely! I don't figure it will be too much longer and I will get wet. Congrats on the gold!

Got about 2 & 1/2 inches of rain overnight and still raining - really needed the liquid gold, but it ruined our club hunt for today! Hawkeye Jim

Hi Jim how does the Cs perform in dry hard dirt some of the old oil town sights I hunt out here date from the early 1900S.

Allot of the sights are vacant and the ground is rock hard and dry, no grass allot of trash.

I keep a small pick hammer for these sights, your regular digging tools are of no use until you break the first 2" to 3" of packed dirt (it can be a work out session). The ground is normal to medium mineralized in most places with a few higher mineralized spots threw out the area.

Take care

Hi Bill - last Wednesday I was in SE Iowa on business and went out to the local fairgrounds for a little coinshooting - it was super hot and the ground was extremely dry and HARD - I thought the C$ worked just as well as in normal ground conditions, was just extremely hard and tiring trying to dig the targets - it sounded off loud and stong on a very small brass cap. Good luck and HH - Hawkeye Jim - just got about 3" of rain overnight, so the ground conditions should improve here.
