    The sample I had sent in for assay was taken from the surface a weathered sample with minerals leached out over time, a poor representation of the ore body. The deeper one goes the richer the ore.

    A list of the minerals of interest from that chunk of hard clay.

    Gallium
    Hafnium
    Dysprosium
    Scandium
    Niobium
    Neodymium
    Lithium
    Lanthanum
    Hahnium
    Samarium

    Titanium 3500 ppm, 1 ppm is 1 gram there's approximately 454 grams to a pound so there is almost full 8 pounds of titanium in each ton of clay.

    I might have to get a miners permit then go and stake this ground.

    By paying dues I can become part of a secret society - no thanks.

    Any comments or opinions that I may have are open source and have no desire to see or hear what others have to say behind closed doors. So called privileged forums.

    To me it's not really even about the private forum (little goes on there).......For all you have taken from this forum as well as all the dirty little posts you have made over the years a few bucks seems like the least you could do

    Never thought I would see the day that a host would demand payment from a guest.

    Your inference that I have taken from this forum leads me to think your also inferring that I have given nothing in return and because I have not subscribed into the paid membership program, you consider me a leach.

    You my friend should be paying me as a consultant.

    I find it pretty nervy on your part asking an old man retired from the scrap industry who gives freely of his time explaining to those in need how to perform certain tasks.

    Honestly I think you have a hidden agenda which has reared it's ugly head before and I'm sure won't be long until it happens again

    As a visiting out of town guest one of the privileges my host has permitted me is to add you to my ignore list - good bye.

    Your a vindictive individual, for what reason have you given me a negative towards my reputation.

    mikeinreco don't you think that a -43 is a pretty big hit.

    Your advertised on this forum as an entrepreneur, if this is how you choose to treat a guest I could only surmise how you would treat a customer.

    I see that it's at -43 but I thought you could only give 1 point (good or bad) at a time.

    Perhaps the difference between guest and paid membership.

    I've always checked the blinking notice, this was the first hit on reputation all others were thanks given from various members.

    Maybe one of the paid members could leave a hit on my reputation then we'll know who many points are given in the negative. I'll keep the members identification private.

    Thanks for the reputation input, did not show up as a negative.

    Heading to the landfill on Saturday to pick up that old RV, we were there on Monday when I found this old transistor radio in the electronics pile.

    Trailer is plated Saskatchewan 2012, brand new 14 inch tires, damaged hitch. Terry's only request was that I pick it up at 2:00 pm when the site closes to the public.

    The first four miles through the reservation was all washboard, fearing the trailer could detach itself from the trailer ball had to go dead slow the rest of the 30 mile trip was uneventful.

    To avoid trouble used back roads via the Tom Tom, came back onto paved road about one mile from home.

    Since arriving home I now have it about one third demoed, they left the heavy power cord inside and there's a mile of copper tubing to supply the propane over head lights, water tank, hot and cold water to the sink, furnace, stove and the fridge and a power inverter 120 volts input with 12 volts 40 amps out.

    My Garmin was missing from my Ford Ranger when it was recovered from being stolen, the Tom Tom was borrowed from a neighbour. I do not like this GPS, its functions are not user friendly at all.

    Reduced to a pile of rubble, the wood scraps will go to our local landfill on Thursday. Our custodian does not allow anything at all to leave his domain and sometimes flags me down on the way out to inspect my truck.

    After the Thursday load then the floor comes off then we start building a utility trailer but that project will be put off until next spring. The Dodge Dakota has presidence.

    The metal goes to the farm.
