Hi Everyone,
Well I understand that another longtime prospecting business is closing it's doors in California. When Arnold signed the bill to stop all dredging in California he destroyed a whole industry. Dredging doesn't endanger fish to the point of extinction at all ! But the Terminator at the stroke of a pen has taken another freedom from a country that he cares nothing about. All he wants to do is make Terminator movies ! I am hoping that there will be an awakening by the gold dredgers to take back the right to be out in the wilderness and to find that yellow metal in the waterways of California again. Bring back the miners and makers of the equipment, like dredges, to bolster the economy of the State of California and other areas as well. It is only going to comeback if we all try to make our voices heard where it counts. I don't even live anywhere close to gold country, but it makes me madder than a trapped bobcat as to what Arnold did. So that is that and I will be quiet now.
