    You inspired my friends and I so much that we went snorkeling in the Guadalupe River in Texas and we found three phones, a working iPhone, a Samsung with credit cards and ID, and another iPhone that was cracked and had water in it, a speaker, two fishing rods, sunglasses such as Oakleys and Chanel, and we uploaded videos on these finds on my channel. I just wanted to come say thank you for inspiring us, and keep up the great work!

    I haven't seen this question addressed yet, but about the bullets - the fact that finding them is a good sign that the area hasn't been dredged is great. But I'm wondering how they got there in the first place. Outside of large predators, I can't imagine a need for shooting guns out there on the ocean. Some of the rounds looked too small to even wake up a polar bear, let alone make him mad enough to attack.
    I noticed too, that some had rings, indicating that they'd been there for a long time. So, what's the story?

      bullets get carried from land to body of water through erosion and gravity. Flood waters carry the bullets from river to ocean or lake. Water is a powerful force.

    @littlemillthatcould 7 лет назад +1

    In reference to the baby seal alone on beach in Nome. You said it was "such a sad sight." Yes, it gives heartache to any compassionate, loving person -- to see such a sweetly appealing being so alone and 100% vulnerable. Please, take positive action by calling the environmental police and Coast Guard to report that unprotected seal, Whatever their protocol it always is good to take a step of advocacy for vulnerable beings. Non-humans, especially, need our voices to speak for them. An infant animal alone may not be uncommon sight in that region, as mothers may need to leave their young to hunt Still, any officer could, at the very least, observe the animal and herd it away from the water and predators; make a report of its location and get a photo. If no protecting animal comes to retrieve it, an animal rescue organization, and/or wildlife rehabilitators, could be contacted. Their training could undoubtedly improve that seal;s situation,
    Please, make the call ! Thank you for showing its beauty and speaking up for its neediness,

  • @repalmore
    @repalmore 7 лет назад

    I watched a special on TV where these huge dredges(not gold) were using what's called a dustpan dredging head. It shoots high pressure water into the seabed and sucks up the muck right after the water nozzles. I wonder in this situation where there is more rocks than fines would a pressure washer just like you find at home depot help wash the fines out of the rocks and into your dredge nozzle?

Last talk they wanted to move nome and dig it up and get rich.the good gold is north by the old rotted dredge on Tom massie’s claim. That area never got mined . The war effort ended. The dredge lay there new and rotted. The area was assayed with rich payouts.
