Congratulations! Good time for it, gold was around $200/oz last time I did any work - Bre-X had just cratered so gold was even extra lower than usual for the time

Triplets, Griff, Blaine and I are triplets.
You know the first thing I'd do if I had some gold would be to cast me some Keith SWCs and load 'em. Just for the heck of it. After that I guess I'd have to really get to work.
Congrats on getting past the bureaucratic BS.

You are of course welcome to visit, it should help you in your own endeavors.
To all,
You are all welcome to visit the operation, just remember it is a working gold mining operation;
give us some warning of your impending arrival.

Now that would get around California's lead bullet ban real nice! Gold is denser than lead. Let me know where you practice, as I can see myself digging around in the dirt behind the backstop if you are using solid gold bullets.
