New and Learning

Thought I would update my intro. Moved from Las Vegas back to my home in NE Washington State. Hard to be a Mountain Girl and live in the desert Normally I have been into lode prospecting and when my Military husband was PCS'd to Las Vegas I found it shocking the amount of garbage all over the desert, especially electronics. Being a forum member at the Gold Refining Forum I had noted talk about E-Waste so had a small bit of knowledge and decided what the heck, might as well clean up some of this desert and make some money doing it. I had met other scrappers out there, none doing E-Waste, mostly brass and copper collectors. I should have been more diligent about the spent ammo as before I moved back home what I did collect was payed out at $1.70 #

Being back here means a change in my tactics now that I have the scrapping fever. My neighbor and I were chatting and he's been doing some minor scrapping but has a lead on some old mobile homes that need to be removed from properties in the county and he didn't have a truck or trailer to get the jobs. I have a F250 Super Duty and access to a large trailer (My Dad). So my next course of action is to read up here on dismantling and scrapping mobile homes and perhaps junk cars. That is, until the snow thaws and I can spend this summer back prospecting. Before our Orders came, we were onto a nice quartz float and found some really nice gold ore.

This is a great forum and I truly appreciate the mass of information and helpful members here. I do plan on buying a membership when finances straighten out. Thanks everyone!
