Greetings: I am a long time rockhound - I was introduced to it by my grandparents as a kid in the 1970s. I prospect for gold and gemstones around Nevada and northern California. I even own my own Nevada turquoise mines (3). You can see them on the web at: nevada-outback-gems.com/mine_tour_turq/our_turquoise_mines.htmI started out cabbing stones and graduated to faceting, and recently now to making my own jewelry. I've just found this website and hope to enjoy visiting with you folks. Chris

Hey Chris,
I was part of a group that put on a car Rally across the 447 highway from your Wind claims last December, out around Limbo and Purgatory Pass. A different organizing group is looking into it for next year, but I expect I will still be involved.
I really love the desolation of that area, are there any interesting rocks on those claims beyond the Gold and Silver?
From some of the geology described on your site, it almost sounds like it could hold some opals. Welcome to the board, and let me know if you are ever planning a field trip sometime and wouldn't mind having a fellow RTH rockhound tag along
