Jerii said at 7:33 p.m. on Oct 23, 2007: Great pictures. And panning for gold hasn't changed much in 60 or so years. Why mess with something that works.

Pkeener said at 12:10 p.m. on Oct 24, 2007: That first shot is remarkable. i am curious about his camera? thank you!!
Wahoogin said at 9:54 p.m. on Oct 24, 2007: I'll see what I can find out about the camera from the family. I believe the negatives were larger format, maybe 3x3?
