do you have any nevada black opal in your area?

*Lobocop* · 08-21-2008

I have never seen any of it around here, Dave. In Humboldt County (near Winnemucca, Nevada) there seems to be a lot of it.

**Spok** · 08-21-2008

I hear back in the 1800's there was lots of it just laying around like common stones in certain areas

*Lobocop* · 08-21-2008

Wish it was like that today, could be another toy real fast with a bucket load of it.

**Spok** · 08-21-2008

It's funny that you took the time to shine a flashlight down there!

Nice rig there Ken!

I know what you mean about how the thing feels like a stick shift going down hills as the 4-wheeler does the same thing. Helps keep it under control on those steep hills, etc.

You didn't run over any jackrabbits...turtles...snakes...lizards...birds.. .did you?

Still looking for a body, I guess

I was surprised since it is the first belt drive system purchased. That compression system really does work.

Didn't run over any critters, but I did climb that mountain over looking Fort Churchill ... piece of cake

**Spok** · 08-22-2008

so, on average, what kind of range do you think you can get? are you in the market for a set of jerry cans?

I really don't know what the mileage is on it, but suspect it will run about 100+ miles to a tank. A lot depends on how heavy the pedal is pushed

Thanks, but have a couple of Jerry cans in the shop. I could use some 1.750 steel tubing though

Here is a link to one of the last recovery operations I did. Please be safe in all the spelunking activity.

Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) - Metal and Nonmetal Mine Fatal Accident Investigation Report: 11/09/1999 - Fatality #48 - Fall of Face/Rib - Gold - NV - Momi Mining Co., Momi Mine

The shaft in the article is only 3 miles from that in the pictures above.

So the guy was there for 2 months before you dug him out? That must have been awful.

He was a decomp. We couldn't get his right leg free during recovery and left it in the mine shaft.

He had set off a charge and started scaling (knocking fractured rock from the walls and ceiling) ... he knocked off to much at one time

A2rider · 08-22-2008

So I take it that it was a closed casket ceremony?

I'm sorry, did I just say that?

That's a nice rig there, Ken!
