With the airing of the Discovery/History TV show, "Gold Rush Alaska" and gold at $1400 an ounce, it's hard to find a place these day around here that my buddies and I can prospect alone. All these wannabe prospectors are just mucking everything up!

So I thought I would ask the folks here:

Anyone have water; Creek, Stream, river? running through/on their property? (This excludes you guys in Canada & Philly, sorry) but it doesn't have to be here in Charlotte. Can really be anywhere in North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, even Georgia!

It can be you, your friends, co-workers, In-laws, Out-laws (Spouses parents), relatives, Aunts, Uncles, Sisters, Brothers, etc. You break the ice and I'll turn on the 'ol Herbstreit charm on them. (Works best with kids and women over 70 though. "Hello there. How you doin'?" :ihih: LOL)

My 2 buddies and I are looking for virgin (aren't we all?) water (OH! Water!:p) that maybe hasn't been prospected before or for a while at least.

We come equipped with Liability Waivers and the promise not to leave trash or holes behind. (After all, we want to come back, if we find some of the yellar stuff!) We also have lease/fee agreements if we do find a steady source of gold!

We would dearly love to find something around Yadkin, Pee Dee, Uwharrie or French Broad rivers' tributaries. Or, the Pisgah National Forest as long as it's on private land. If there is flowing water, we are open to at least look at it.

Please PM me if you know of any place! We are willing to knock on doors, but so far, our response hasn't been great.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
