Our little bit of gold from all of our digging when we were in Quartzsite. It's pretty and every little grain adds up but oh its a lot of work digging. We now have about five hundred dollars worth that we have dug ourselves or paid for by buying bags and pails of dirt with gold salted in it. That is not really a lot for the number of years we have been at it but it is something to do and one of the few hobbies that can actually pay you back -- maybe--
We are now back in Yuma and are going out on the California side of the Colorado River to dig. It is pretty and very quiet out there except for the occasional braying of a wild donkey. The mountains in the background are either the Cargo Muchacho or Chocolate mountains. Both are prettty and challenge most peoples idea of a desert. I always thought desert meant dried up and flat looking ground but it is full of hills, mountains, washes and lots of greenery if you take the time to look.
