an early thankyou to you Dick! I was sorta up close to you Tuesday around Kirksville Mo. I was scouting out "the farm at Adair" its a mud truck / Atv ?dirt bike location in N. East Mo. its a 300 acre cattle farm that the 70 year old owner lets people come in and blast all over the place. the creek there has NEVER been dredged and is full of civil war / indian / and collectable minerals. im trying to set up a weekend outing for our club ( show me gold prospectors) out of K.C.Misery to goto this Spring / Summer. Ill contact you if your interested in going.
