Default Cotton Patch Gold Mine

This Thusday thru Sunday I am taking the trailer to Cotton Patch to play with my new Le Trap Sluice. Someone loaned one to me for 20 minutes, and I was hooked on it. I found one on Craigslist locally for $60.00 and since I did all my honeydo's, Wifey was nice enough to let me get it right away. If anyone is in the area, stop on by. It os 40 miles north of Charlotte, NC near New London, NC.

Send me an email to exchange phone numbers if interested.
Bill

Good luck, use to be stationed in NC back in the 80's-90's...didn't realize there was gold there (of course it sure wasn't in Camp LeJuene...hehehe)

Happy Trails, Let know how hard it was.. I wish they would let us do that here. State owned land is off limits.
