Camanche.

 

I let my Minelab pay for mine.
Hell it bought mine and my wife's 4runner. All our toys to with them so far as well. When I want more I just go find some. just happens!

 

How exactly does the whole prospecting thing work? Do you need to have rights to an area in order to detect and keep whatever you find?

 

I always stay on private land and get written permission. I also offer a percentage to the land owner/ care taker. Depending on how much you find makes the percentages change per property.
It ain't rocket surgery once you've done it a time or ten

 

If you're thinking of visiting Hope Valley next year, read this.

 

Nice invite.....

That's awesome! Nice work!

Money is a factor but not the whole picture. It's not so much money but that I make as much of my own shit as possible and I don't really know what I'm doing when I start. It just takes awhile....and sometimes I gotta redo shit twice. And I pick projects like adding a second fuel tank for driving around Mexico that take a while to put together. And I procrastinate.

Also, I have a lot of other hobbies that are time consuming and cost money. I scuba dive, mountain bike, back pack, rock climb (although not much lately), ride motorcycles and am slowly working through climbing all of CA's 14ers (6 down 9 to go). All these take time and money. For example I just bought a new to me used dry suit, replaced the neck and wrist seals on it,had all my tanks annual visual inspection, and my regulators inspected. That was $1400 right there. The suit+the undergarment it came with new are $4,000 so I can't complain too much.

 

you don't know how to get up early to go fishing.

 

Is this those no tailed trout from Amador?

 

So true. Lol

 

Maybe it was a dumbshit hatchery worker who clipped the wrong fin. The adipose fin is still on the fish.

 

for some reason Amador has a lot of those. my coworker fished there a lot and we always teased him about his no tailed trout pics.

That’s because he lives every day to the fullest!

 

Took the wife to go see Nick Offerman aka Ron Swanson do stand up at the Masonic in SF lastnight.....dude is funny- his routine was thought provoking too- i highly recommend checking him out if you get a chance to see him do standup

 

Any good folks in the Chico area willing to help a poor newb install suspension on an 01 Taco...??? Getting quotes up to $700 just for the install...
