3 Days on the back side of the Dale

Filed under: Ramblin's of the 29 Prospector — 29 Prospector @ 8:58 pm

Hello everyone. Well I just got back last week from a 3 day adventure with Micro-Nugget out at my claims. Like most planned trips, this one had its pit falls, mainly, my truck. I buy this top of the line battery from this well known Auto Parts store and yup it goes south after 2 1/2 months. At least it was covered with a lifetime warranty.

It was good getting back out to the mine and even better this time because we did’nt find anyone working the hole. I have caught 6 people attempting to hi-grade use where we are working and I’m starting to not care for these people.

Micro-Nugget and I spent 1/2 a day working the 2 ton pile of material that is sitting on the side of the hole and did pretty good, but Sunday we hit the hump in the hole.
Now after studying 3 years of pictures, I realized, or at least I throught I realized , that I knew where my old seam that I’d been following was at. Well O’29er here did his homework right. Micro-Nugget and I were back in the zone. We had alot of fun detecting, digging and drywashing. But the fun came out in the water.

We spent half the night telling stories and having fun trying to figure out how to put up a truck bed tent with no instructions. For 3 days, we were right next door to heaven. I’ve met another very good prospector and future partner.
