We do use a sluice box that is of normal size,along with the other items you see.Both of us have iffy backs,and

we are senior citizens,so,heavy lifting,is not going to happen.

I bought one of those VORTEX Dream mats,haven't gotten to the area where we find a fair amount of gold,yet.

Too busy getting ready for winter,painting the house,and leveling a low spot,plus,we need to get a lot of insulation

for the attic.This is my third house I've bought over the last 40 years,nothing will keep you busy,like buying

an old house.

  Public land use to be called public land,however,like so many things we enjoyed in the past,has changed.It is now 

Forestry land,or BLM land,we,the public,go to war,to keep enemies from our gates,so to speak,we serve in many

jobs as citizens also that help fellow citizens.Why did the public land change from land owned by the public?

When did these changes come about?Was it the wealthy that signed away our inherited land from our fore fathers?

  There are folks out and about that are a danger to themselves,they start fires,dump garbage,and spray paint

natural wonders.They do not deserve to have access to our natural wonders,but these types are a minority,the

rest of us are good citizens,and respect our heritage of land kept for the citizens of our great country.

Some with massive wealth,buy up land and post it to keep people out,buying thousands of acres,just to charge

citizens thousands of dollars to hunt on what was public land.China,owns thousands of acres,we could end up

in a gun fight with them,and yet,they own land that agriculture has been growing the food we have been eating

for many decades.Why is it that a possible enemy can own land that feeds us?How many acres do Americans

own in China?Something just doesn't add up.I do not care what party you vote for,do some thinking and vote.

We do not need to make America great again,we always have been,and always will,unless a traitor is elected.

Just some thoughts on reality,it's not what it seems.
