Request for Pay Dirt

I'm sorry we are all out of the free pay dirt samples. Thank you for asking HK from India.

Press and Blog Master for THE GOLD ANGLE



TALKING GOLD

Just how much gold has been mined since records have been kept, or guesses made? According to Compressed Air Magazine around 89,000 tons.  And where is this gold? Well again, Compressed Air Magazine states that official institutions and monetary authorities own the majority. The rest of the gold is in jewelry, thirty percent and 11 percent held by private parties.

While researching the Gold Rush 1849 I  read that keeping records of the gold was nonexistent for several years. So much of these numbers are just educated guesses. Oh, well at least we have a vague idea. 

I wonder if the gold wedding ring on my finger has been counted? Think I should tell them?

GOLD FROM LEAD? YES, YES, YES,



HERE’S A FACT:

GOLD HAS BEEN MADE FROM LEAD!



In 1980 the late chemist Glen T Seaborg turned atoms of bismuth, a type of lead, into gold. This happened at the Lawrence Berkeley,  Laboratory, Calif. Using nuclear physics he blasted the iron with ions of carbon and neon, which left gold.



Here’s the catch and the reason that gold is not being produced by the barrels. IT COSTS TOO MUCH! $10,000 (US) was needed for operating expenses to produce one billionth of a cent worth of gold. 



(The above information was gathered from Wikipedia and SCIENCE 80 MAGAZINE.)

Did the Area of Sutter's Mill Look Like This Old Photo?


The Start of the '49er Gold Rush


     The gold nugget above is the exact size of one of several that James W. Marshall found at Sutter's Mill that began the California Gold Rush. He found it in 1848. It took awhile for the news to travel east that gold was to be had with little effort. It wasn't long before a stream of gold prospectors lined the banks of several California rivers.

Those that got richest from the discovery were the ones that lived nearby or arrived in the area in 1848. It could take by ship as long as a year to get from New York to California.  (One ship that took a year was "the little steam packet Hartford.")

(This information, including photo of nugget, from the book, THE FORTY-NINERS by the editors of TIME-LIFE BOOKS with text by William Weber Johnson)

Interesting Fact


According to the book above and several books consulted for information for this site Rob and Allan most likely would not have been '49ers. Most men were much younger than these two (late forties). Although there were some that lived in the area and some made the trip from the east that were as old and older than Rob and Allan, but most found the work much too hard. If they stayed in the area, they found work other than prospecting.

IF I WERE A FORTY-NINER



If I were a '49er, I'd work my hands to the bone.
Why? So I could get back home!
... don't like working, working the river alone.
If I were a '49er, my fingers bled red
I'd dream of wife and bed
And children at my knee,
Waiting for California stories and California gold to see.

BACK TO THE PAST

     Let's say you are a California '49er. You managed to make your pile of gold. You're set for life.  Do you keep that rugged beard, or do you shave it off and begin again the routine of shaving every day. No need  to decide until you get within a day of home and family. But rumor has it that those that leave the whiskers are thought of, for a time anyway, as a hero. 


THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE DIFFICULT DECISION TO MAKE, OR IS IT!

Picker


This picker just fell into Allan's highbanker. Allan and Rob were setting up when Allan caught the glint of gold on the black mat. We can only guess how excited they were to start their morning's work this way. "What will the rest of the day be like?" They must have been saying. To see their reaction when finding it click on the first Youtube link below.

History of Gold in Myrtle Creek

(Interesting fact: the Chinese were paid 25 cents a day to work digging ditches etc. and others were paid $2 a day. This during the heyday of gold mining in Douglas County, Myrtle Creek.)

 Click link to go to a review, scroll down, to the review that begins: "I didn't stay here, I just witnessed the Sourtoe Cocktail in the hotel's bar." Karen K
Yes it is a real toe and it seems people line up every night of tourist season to join the Sourtoe 
Cocktail club. 

(View  a photo of the toe at Karen's review)

Of Interest:

 


 
In its latest issue ENTREPRENEUR  featured Parker Schnabel, but I found the information about the Dawson City  bar, The Downtown Hotel and its signature cocktail, the Sourtoe Cocktail even more interesting.  Well, nothing too remarkable about the name, but here's the thing, it had a shot of alcohol with, (following words from the article), "a frostbitten, dehydrated human toe plopped into it." What is more if you swallowed the toe, you were fined $2,500.
(Dawson City, with its 13 bars,  is the closest town to the mines where THE GOLD RUSH is filmed.)... Linda Newton-Perry, Blogmaster

PAYDIRT? SELLING IT?

In the future we may consider selling paydirt. At this time we are concentrating on staying legal with the complicated gold prospecting laws of Oregon.🙂

REMEMBER FREE SAMPLE OFFER?

These samples will be on their way soon to, (Allyns, Woodstock), (Randy, Valley Lake), (Jason, Conley), (Richardsville ByPass, Bowling Green), (Michael, Jerry Smith Rd.) ( Brandon D St) I left out the full addresses to protect the innocent!

Rob and Allan


YES YOU ARE LEGAL with the 600 Permit

To find out more, go to the 600 permit area of the linked page below.

I, Linda Perry, spoke to Kathy, DEQ, and Jim Billings, Portland. Billings is  head of the sort of prospecting you guys are doing. Wanting to get the information straight for the news program, I found that you guys, believe it or not, are doing everything okay. I even spoke to a State Police game trooper. The trooper would be the one who would check out any mining complaint. We talked about taking buckets  of water by hand out of the river for your circulating high banker. He said it was okay as long as fish eggs were not present, if they were then don't take water from river. (Eggs can be in the river from Sept 15-June/July.) Make sure the water seeps into the ground and does not run back into the river. Try to set up a good ways from the river so  not to bring on undue 'checking out' by the troopers.
THOUGHT YOU'D WANT TO KNOW....LP

You must stay back from the high water mark of the river for digging, not on banks. 

And you will have to renew your 600 permit by Dec. 31, 2016.

Read about it on the link page above.
