Good Morfnoevight All! EO on TB.

Fell asleep in my chair last night
I put the For Sale signs on the old Hyundai and sold it in one hour

Spoiler: On the menu:

Left over chicken soup and a repeat breakfast so nothing to see here today

How the hell was it covered in mercury? I used to head up above Atlanta, find a good creek system I wasn't going going to be disturbed, spend Fri afternoon walking the creeks and flagging good spots, go cook some dinner, sleep in the truck. Up early Sat. Coffee, etc. And go prospecting, find a good spot and just dig and classify into my buckets. Every 2 or 3 buckets do another pan or 2 to make sure it was still worth it. By the time I left Sun I had a full truck bed of classified buckets and had fun at home for 6 or 7 months at my leisure sipping a beer or 3.

Miners in days past used mercury for mining. That shit will be around forever in some of the streams below mines. They don't use it any longer because the fumes killed a lot of them or their teeth fell out. I have burned some off of the gold I found with it but It makes it ugly and you have to melt the gold down to get the color back. A big PITA so I void those creeks when I go.

Mercury is used in gold processing to extract gold from ore by forming an amalgam:

1. Process materials: Miners use heavy machinery or hoses to extract gold-bearing materials from riverbeds or hard rock deposits.
   
   
   
2. Add mercury: Miners add liquid mercury to a slurry of gold and sand. The mercury binds with the gold to form an amalgam.
   
   
   
3. Heat the amalgam: Miners heat the amalgam to vaporize the mercury and isolate the gold.

Gotcha. There is so much to learn here! I guess I just need to get on here and play around. There's always the go back button, right?...LOL

@The Philthy Grower welcome to AFN I saw your plant above, nice harvest.

@Mañ'O'Green, Funny you are privy to the Gold Fever show! Met the guy randomly in Placerville and started watching the show after that. Guy cracked me up. Have a friend in Pollock Pines, just up the mountain from Placerville. Would go up after the runoff wound down and go picking with him. He has a sluice box setup and suction motor thing. Also, we would always bring pans when hangin out on the American River downing beers. Went out in Calaveras County and a couple places way up north with that guy
Sux I sold all the stuff I found. Gold was 350 an oz back then. Cheaper than weed at the time!

Where would you guys go?

I have prospected all over the west Sierras from Tahoe south to Kings Canyon and out in the desert by Randsburg. The Randsburg trip was a LDMA group effort. We moved 17 yards of pay dirt through dry washers. The dust is like talcum powder and most of the dirt flew into the air and coated you like breaded chicken. It was absolutely terrible. I will never dry wash again. My cut of the gold recovered over 3 days would not buy a tank of gas back then. Two weeks later in the same spot they pulled over an ounce of good nuggets per miner! GPAA has a bunch of pretty good claims in the Sierras. Italian Bar is very pleasant but like all prospecting you need to have a bit of luck on top of your hard work.

Molasses is good but it's long chain carbon by the time it's available to an auto flower it's ready to harvest,

Your not feeding the plant the last week you are feeding the microbes and they can use the carbs almost immediately.

Gotta start a London broil in the morning if it's still good. Wife bought it Wed before this last one and just stuck it in the fridge without telling me.

It will be fine! If there is green just cut it off.

Correct but it isn't available to the plant for few weeks.

Fast initial access:
Once molasses is mixed into the soil, the sugars are readily available for microbes to utilize.
Microbial breakdown:
Bacteria in the soil will quickly break down the molasses sugars into simpler compounds that mycorrhizae can easily access.
Colonization time:
While the molasses is quickly available, the mycorrhizal fungi need time to establish a symbiotic relationship with the plant roots, which typically takes a few weeks.
That's all.

I am more curious if that price tag actually says $11 each??

4 pack of pints. Very popular these days. $11.00 not a bad price either.

Bic is an amazing company when it comes to marketing. Amazing. I want a tray of "Reach" now and I don't even know why. I have lighters everywhere.
