Default claim jumpers

Hey Greg & Pappy,
Rob told me where he found the gold and for a small cut of your finds, say 85%, I will let you know the location. LOL. Of course, you both know that you can be shot for claim jumping if you get caught. And from what I have seen of the animals hanging on the wall, Rob is a pretty good shot...LOL
Mike

Default BADGE

WELL ROB, I got with one of my friends (REAL OLD TIMER) and he says that he has seen one of these before (I HAVE NOT) and that it is indeed a miners (Prospectors) badge. The best we can figure out is the following:

The badge dates approx. from 1895-1902

"RALSTON"......Mines name (STILL RESEARCHING)
"STRAIT SHOOTERS".....Name of miners association
FINE GOLD ORE
FROM AMERICAS
CRESENT DISTRICT....Name of gold district in your area (STILL ALSO RESEARCHING)

Will let you know as soon as I can concerning the areas still being researched......PAPPY :D :D :D

SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE BUTTONS YOU LOCATED ALSO....PAPPY :D :D :D

HAVE YOU TRIED CLEANING THE BADGE ANYMORE????
