Naw, we aren't in the Weather Channel show, but this is a picture of Larry and friends Jan and Tim hunting for gemstones on Mt Antero in 2011. I'm behind the camera, of course.
Gold closed Friday at $1667.20, silver at $31.43, and the
DOW was over 14000 this past week, although it didn’t hang around there for
long. Lots of speculation out there
about what gold will do in the short term as it is having trouble holding its’
200 day average. Not a particularly good
thing for right now, but it certainly doesn’t mean we are looking at a crash,
but possibly a good pull back. Platinum
has been closing above gold for some time, now.
Has something to do with it being needed in catalytic converters for
cars.
A nomination that caught my attention this past week was the
appointment of the next Secretary of the Interior, Sally Jewell, president and
CEO of REI. I have not heard why our own
Ken Salazar decided not to continue in that role for the next four years.
Mark your calendars for March 26th and the
premiere of the Weather Channels’ series “Prospectors”, featuring many Colorado
gem miners. While they aren’t after
gold, these people are definitely successful at what they do. I know several, am acquainted with others,
and they mine the mountains of Colorado.

We are almost at the end of our kitchen remake, and it is
turning out to be really nice. So far,
the project has not had too many set backs or problems that were a
disaster. I’m sure most of you can
relate. Glad to have it finished this
winter and not hanging over our heads as the weather turns to spring.
There is so much to report on that has to do with legislative
and court issues that are of concern to prospectors large and small, I am going
to link you out to International California Mining Journal to read about all of
it. If you don’t have a subscription to
this magazine, whether online or snail mail, you should consider getting
one. www.icmj.com
Besides keeping you up on many of the issues you need to know about, they write
excellent articles on metal detecting and prospecting in general.
That’s it for now. Do
your research for that place you are wanting to find while the weather has you
inside. And, as always……
Good Prospecting to You,
Shirley Weilnau
