I will find it this summer, fairly positive.   link below to my facebook where you can purchase the future best seller.  Ha        'greenhorn' kind of misleading; I'd challenge Tom Massey any day to outpan him with REAL fine gold not what he calls fine gold, he can't catch it, but I think it means a greenhorn to this forum.

										I was smelting my gold and using propane but it didn’t heat up enough so I changed from propane to map gas and the gold seems like it melted into the flux.  I’m new to this so I’m not sure exacly how to redo it.  My flux went from black with a gold center to black with a greenish center that I assume is the gold mixed with the flux. |  |  |  | 4 | 2343 |  by    JOSEPH STASIKONIS  01 Feb 2019 10:07 PM |

										Hello,
My husband and I went hiking over at this park. I want you all to be aware that there,is a large tree that has fallen across the pathway leading down to the stream bed. Also,there is structure that is near the waterfall what I could see of it, it was made up of plastic cover and wooden planks ,I did not investigate as I heard voices and backtracked my way out. I did email the Forrest Service,pre what the GPAA told me to do.
