WELL THE SUMMERS GONE AND THE COOLER WEATHER WILL BE ON US, BUT IT'S TIME TO HIT THE HOMESTEADS, WOODS, PARKS, AND PLANTATIONS. THE HUNTING GROUNDS UP HERE ARE DRYING UP FAST ALONG WITH THE RANGERS AND MOUNTED OFFICERS MAKING IT EVEN MORE DIFFCULT TO HUNT WHEN THEY CAN TELL YOU TO LEAVE WHENEVER THEY ASK, OR HAND YOU A SUMMONS IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT, SO WE ARE AT THEIR MERCY.

ALL HUNTERS LIVING IN NYC OR COMING INTO NYC TO HUNT WITH A NYC PERMIT, REMEMBER ONE THING, YOU ARE PERMITED TO HUNT ROUGH GRASS. TRIALS, NATURE TRAILS, OR ANY PICNIC AREAS WITHOUT A PROBLEM AND ALSO OPEN BEACHES.

THE PROBLEM IS WHO IS ON DUTY WHEN YOU ARE AT THE PARKS, WHERE HE OR SHE MAY ASK YOU TO LEAVE, AND AS STATED ON THE NYC PERMITS, YOU ARE TO OBEY THE RANGER OR OFFICER, OR SHOW ANY ITEMS THAT WERE DUG FROM THE GROUND. I WENT TO COURT PREPARED TO FIGHT MY CASE IN JUNE, WHEN I WAS HANDED A SUMMONS FOR HUNTING AT A PARK IN APRIL, AND WHAT MAKES ME EVEN MORE ANGRY, THE GUY THAT WE HAD TURNED ON TO PARK HUNTING WAS THE ONE LEAVING HOLES ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND HE WAS JUST TOLD TO LEAVE. I BROUGHT THIS POINT OUT AT THE COURT WHEN THEY WANTED TO RESCHEDULE MY COURT HEARING, AND UPON SHOWING MY PICTURES TO THE AID, HE LOOKED AT ME LIKE TO SAY, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME ON THIS CASE, KNOWING THAT I HAD A GOOD CASE WITH MY EVIDENCE.

SO FAR I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE COURT AGAIN, A MAJOR VICTORY FOR US TREASUE HUNTERS THANKS TO THE LORD. I THINK THAT THE MOUNTED OFFICER NEVER WANTED TO GIVE ME A SUMMONS IN THE FIRST PLACE, ESPECIALLY AFTER HE HIMSELF HAD TOLD ME THAT HE HAD NEVER SEEN ME LEAVE A HOLE OR DAMAGE THE ECO SYSTEM AROUND ME. AS A MATTER OF FACT, HE SAID THAT IF ALL HUNTERS WERE LIKE ME AND TWO OTHERS HE HAD SEEN HUNTING, THEY WOULD LIFT THE MANY RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BECAUSE OF THE FEW BAD APPLES. I KNOW THE PHOTOS OF THE AREA HELPED MY CASE BECAUSE THAT AREA COULD NOT BE CONSIDERED WOODLANDS, BUT ROUGH A GRASS AREA. THE ALL MIGHTY CAMERA DOES IT AGAIN FOLKS, BUT SHOOT YOUR PICTURES IMMEDIATELY, ESPECIALLY IF IT OCCURS IN LATE SPRING BECAUSE 1 OR 2 WEEKS MORE AND THAT AREA WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE WOODLANDS....

THIS YEAR WAS NOT BAD AS FAR AS THE BEACH WAS CONCERNED, I GOT ABOUT 200 GRAMS OF GOLD AND FOR 5 OR 6 VISITS TO THE BEACH, IT WAS GREAT TO EVEN HAVE DUG SOME GOLD AS I WORK WEEKENDS AND IT MADE IT DIFFICULT TO GET THERE EARLY IN THE MORNING. THE NICEST PIECE WAS THE HAND MADE COLLASPING RING, SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL AND A COUPLE OF HUNKERS. AS ALWAYS MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER.... GOD BLESS YOU ALL, AND IF ANYONE HAS A DIG IN CIVIL WAR AREA THEY WOULD LIKE TO INVITE TO, PLEASE DO, I WOULD REALLY LOVE HUNTING IN THE SOUTH FOR CIVIL WAR RELICS...

since for about a week ago it looked as though I was going to be dead. Not that I don't mind going HOME to the Lord my wife needed me home with her more. I cannot say how many prayers went up for me but God hear their cries and delievered me. What was to have been death from pulmonary embolisms in both lungs, congestive heart faiure and more God turned into pneumonia that I am almost now over with. So I have to say I am more than fine and Praise God! Jesus again stood in the doorway and sent me where I was to go. He died for me and I now live for Him even more than I did before. Glory to God and thank you Jesus!
Hope all is well with your family. My prayer is that the case will be dropped soon. Congrats on your finds Philo.
 
congrats on all that gold!
