Greetings from the wind swept plains of Kansas.
My Grandfather was a mining contractor in the Colorado gold fields. My Father worked in the mines until he completed his degree in Earth Science. I choose a different path and became a farmer. The pay is worse, and the job more dangerous, but it suites my needs.
I will continue to use the search engine to research the topic, that brought me here. That should save on questions that have already been answered.
Succinctly, I have a limited amount of calaverite ore from Teller Co. CO. Have chosen to mill and refine some of it. Have constructed a small stamp mill, and panned the screened powder. Tried to make a Dore' button thrice, but only wasted the samples and received some expensive and unimpressive fireworks.
I read the rules here and applaud them wholeheartedly. It is refreshing to find a site where all members operate with a modicum of decorum that embraces the responsibilities of free speech.
The thread about choosing one's name was also well received. My name simply means two feathers in Lakota. The name was gifted long ago before computers and boards.
In closing, it would be proper to thank the originator and moderators of this board. I am truly honored to be here.

Could someone direct me as to posting images, please. I really have looked, but obviously not in the correct venue.
