Rest In Peace

Postby Pennrungold » Wed Mar 03, 2010 2:45 pm

We lost a prospecting buddy last Saturday. Some of the old time prospectors here might remember him from outings at the Swank property in Ohio. Steve was a DEF member and made it to the big muddy in Georgia. Here is a photo of Steve with a flintlock rifle he made.

I think I remember him from the GA mudbog... I know for a fact the he is in a much better place and he's probably teaching a bunch of old souls how to pan for gold.
God Has Blessed him mightily.
