And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The prospector (High Desert Ranger, he's passed away) I met talked about how he did it in the desert in that part of Arizona. He'd follow a dry bed and metal detect around the bends, with a good reading he'd dig & take a sample into a marked container & close it then note the location taken on his map (he used GPS) then continue on. Back to camp with his samples where he'd pan them out to see if any had enough gold to justify going back to that location and doing some serious digging. He had pumps and water barrels for panning in the desert (a machine for that too), he had all kinds of equipment, more that willing to spread knowledge and he told a good story.
