Hello my name is Tim. 56 years of fun and more on the way. I have been a mechanic since I was born and concieved in a little auto shop in the bay area. worked in my parents shops since 6 years old. My parents were Hippies in the true sense. Needless to say we spend a lot of time out doors, collecting rocks and panning. We had a friend who stayed in out basement making indian jewlery out of silver and torquise. I learned how to melt, case, silver at 8
I became a custom mold maker by 10. The fasination with metals and gem stones. long story short. my grand parents own 400 acres in weaverville ca on gold mines. panned up there til I was 18, I decided to make lots of money in auto business to fund my adventures, I have been to 23 different countries mining worlds gem stones. I build gold mining equipment trommels shaker decks, sluice boxs. dream it I can build it. I am facinated with minerals and metal. I own the kokopelli opal mines in Nevadas Virgin valley. You can see it online upclose and personal its no joke!! I mine gold out of my front yard in cherokee ca. I have a heavy interest in refining. I have tons of fines that need refining.
