osage outlaw:
Very cool.  I've found gold twice in my life but it wasn't like yours.  Once was a wedding ring when I was little and the other was a bracelet a few years back. 

chamookman:
Gotta love that - great find  (A)  :OK ! Bob

bjrogg:
Very cool burtonridr. Looks like you recovered the fine stuff pretty good. I hope you find some more in there.

An interesting and challenging day;
I bought a super nice ladder stand to put on my land, the instructions said it would take a minimum of three people to put it up, it is a beast.

I have a 20# weight limit from hernia surgery but consider myself somewhat inventive so I was sure I could pull it off.

I thought I could pull it right up the tree with my deer dragamatic and almost burned the drill motor up trying. it was a no go as the stand slid across the ground instead of lifting.

Plan B; climb the tree with a treestand and put an eye bolt 19 feet up in the tree, put a line through the eye, hook the line to my four wheeler and pull the stand up to the correct position.

Here is the start;

Eric Krewson:
I pulled the stand up with my four wheeler but missed the tree, I had the eye bolt in the center of the tree but should have put it on the uphill side. The slope of the hillside complicated things, the stand wanted to fall downhill for some reason. I struggled with this dilemma for over and hour but finally thought of a solution. I used a log chain and come-a-long tied off to a tree up the hill to pull the stand back to the center of the tree.
