What scale do you like and why 7011 13
Started by civilian_again@yahoo.com
I am going to buy a scale and with so many out there, I was wondering what others might suggest and why. I am looking for the pro's and con's of your model. Of coarse, like everybody else in the world, price is a consideration. I would like it to be portable and the style that opens so the screen and scale are protected. I guess like a pocket scale. .o1 gram accuracy is a must. Thanks!

Alabama national forest question 7550 5
Started by car469999@gmail.com
Hello everyone,
From what I have read panning is permitted in the Talladega National Forest, but prospectors cannot use a dredge, highbanker, or a sluice.
So my question is, what if you own property that is located in the National forest.
Does anyone know if a property owner of land inside Talladega National Forest can use a dredge, highbanker, or a sluice on that property
Thanks for any info on this.

Hello,
I would like to introduce myself. I am Kib Cannon and have been mining on Gold King Creek and the surrounding area for over the last 30 years. I am getting older and slowing down, but still have the fire and the passion for gold mining. So I have decided to open up to the public. I still have plenty of virgin ground with a strong pay streak going through it. If you have the fever, you will come home with gold, not just some colors in a pan. I have a nice and modern Infrastruc...
