<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael Terry, post: 2355334, member: 76710&quot;]Yes, that is why I moved to Alaska from Colorado in 1980. I had a mining operation, it was not very large like the Gold Rush Program you see on TV. I had a D-8 Dozer, a 4 Yard Loader and a Washing</p><p>Plant. I made my living until 1987, until the EPA shut down my operation for getting the water muddy. Alaska laws are a lot more strick than the Klondike. The place I mined only had fine gold,</p><p>I only found about 4 Nuggets the entire time.</p><p>In the late 90&#039;S I started going to a place in NW Arizona to a place called Medaview, I found more Nuggets just using a metal detector than I ever dreamed of. I found nuggets up to six ounces. The</p><p>Great thing was, my over head, all I had to do was charge my metal detector battery every night.</p><p>When I was commercial mining the over head eat up most of my profits. Even back in those days</p><p>My overhead was about ten grand a month. Due to my health conditions I had to stop going down</p><p>To Arizona in 2002.</p><p>I thought it was pretty worked out anyway. We used Mine Lab Metal Detectors.</p><p>I recently received a phone call from a friend that lives there, MineLab has improved their technogly</p><p>and he said that he is getting down deeper to a new layer that we could not get to. and now he is finding larger and more nuggets that we did back in the old days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
