MMMMMmmmmm I never thought about of my uncle (yours too) wanting his cut. I have not keep records, but I'm betting, if I totaled mileage, and cost of machines, I would be loosing money? One more thing, with the shortage of coins for commerce, maybe you should turn them in for paper? Oh, now I'm wondering, how much in silver coins, that's what I hunt for? I don't post, cause I don't know how, but yesterday, I found a silver rosy, then a merc, and lastly, I dug a barber to round out only my second trifecta in nine years.
Good luck in your future hunts and hope you make $20,000 soon.
HH everyone
