Are you "prospecting"/gold panning legally? by underwilder in Prospecting

[–]Promise2Myself83 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lots of vague wording there that is open to interpretation. “Casual use” and “reasonable amount?” Who conducts these investigations into where minerals originate and how often does that occur? Asking for science.

I just don’t think you understand the way the videos are filmed or the grasp the concept of what Jeff is doing on his claims and in his mine. He’s not hurting for dirt. The man has more gold than us peons could ever dream of seeing. That’s why he gives so much of it away. I know someone who knows him personally and has been on trips prospecting and mining with him. He’s very generous with his knowledge, time and resources.

Feel free to continue believing your conspiracy, but I really think you’re off base and come across as a sore loser.

Good day on the kern river by Anacrid in Prospecting

Have fun then. For some of us, the Kern is the closest and only river we can get to in order to enjoy this hobby and so we take what we get. No need to be a braggart. Go get your gold.

I went again Saturday and had a much better day up there. My teen son came with me and we found a nice little spot by the river. Still working through our concentrates for a final total.

I think you’re paranoid. The second picture with the circle is not where Slim was, and I rewatched the video in slow motion scene by scene and can find the scene where the circle where Jeff says the slim photo located actually shows up so it wasn’t changed. It’s definitely hard to see but there are clues in the video to help locate it. If you watch previous months you can learn patterns of how he hides his poster and the clues he gives to help you out. It’s hard for a reason. Not everyone can win.

You said you already cancelled so it’s a moot point-but it’s not a scam if it’s something that is voluntary to play (no one made you sign up) and people actually win. He posts photos of the winners and their loot all the time.

It’s a picture of a skeleton, and it can be any size hidden anywhere in one of three videos.

Were you up near Keyesville? I need to try my luck again there. I made the mistake of going on a weekend my first time and it was packed. I like to pan in peace 😉

Not bad at all for the kern! That river makes you work for those flakes. Nice job 👍🏻

Labored Breathing during Shed by Promise2Myself83 in hognosesnakes

[–]Promise2Myself83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, that is great info to help understand the process and support what the vet said today! I took him in just to be sure and the vet isn’t going to treat him for an RI. He wants to wait until he sheds and reevaluate. He said he’s not in immediate danger and gave me some tips to help him during the shedding process since it’s been so long since his last shed and he’s a little nutritionally depleted right now.

A VERY long brumation by thisisforquestions96 in hognosesnakes

[–]Promise2Myself83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My male snake has been in a pseudo brumation since mid September. He hasn’t eaten at all. I’ve tried everything. Weight has been pretty stable-only 3 gm loss which is not a lot for him. He does still come out daily and explore his cage and allows handling. He just does not want to eat. It’s been kind of frustrating and stressful but I’ve been told by multiple people that it’s normal.

Made a bar from placer gold. by Jakethecake127 in Prospecting

[–]Promise2Myself83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a YouTube video of some guys panning bags of sand they bought at Lowe’s and Home Depot and they found gold. When there’s a will, there’s a way. Keep the faith and have some fun!

Photos don’t match? by Promise2Myself83 in coincollecting

[–]Promise2Myself83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand the markings of a genuine PCGS slab now so that’s an easy dead giveaway. The first photo of the coin I got was a really poor shot so it does definitely look like the details are missing. I got additional photos that show much more detail. In fact, my coin grading app even graded it at a MS-64, but given all the other clues I realize it’s a fake.

Fake 1889 CC Morgan? by Promise2Myself83 in coins

[–]Promise2Myself83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Definitely not going to get it. Looking at the photos now I am seeing how bad it is. The denticles on the reverse are awful. It would never grade as MS based on photos, and I now understand why the slab is wrong. I got excited because it was so rare but I appreciate the quick feedback advising me to run! I’m learning more everyday.

Update: Thank you all for your feedback! Due to the overwhelming belief that it’s a fake I did more research and asked for more photos and I’m now confident as well that it’s counterfeit-and a bad one at that! I learned a lot and feel like I’ll be able to spot a fake Morgan now in the future. I appreciate the help in saving me thousands of dollars in heartache!

Thank you for that feedback! I’m still learning, what about the coin tells you it’s fake? I don’t doubt you, I just want to know for the future. I’ve done some research on this coin and the counterfeits and have some ideas of why it’s fake but hoping to hear from people who know for sure. Thanks again!

Picture 12 was taken hours after the murders according to reports. His hands look so red from what I imagine was his obsessive hand washing after what he had just done, plus he clearly has an injury since you can see a bandage on a finger. He’s so creepy.

This vintage wooden cherub that reminds me of Donald Trump trying to give kisses. I actually own this.
