Must be 50 pounds of my fishing weights on a submerged tree trunk up river. last time I checked they were still there. you can see them as the sun comes up. It is a great fishing spot, limit out in trout in less than an hour. another place is a submerged mine tunnel great for large Bass and Trout. a friend and I caught 23 fish in 45 minutes had to throw three back. Not a one of them had any sinkers or pellets for bullets in them. California used to allow dredging for gold If the lead bullets I dredged up were gold I could have been rich. Lucky to get six ounces of gold with ten pounds of lead. Many of those bullets were antiques well over 100 years old. I think I dredged up the pepper box pistol that mark twain threw in the river. the one he talks about in his book the jumping frogs of calvarias country. I still have it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-44253742040219286552017-05-30T03:49:17.757+10:002017-05-30T03:49:17.757+10:00I CAN DRIVE YOU RIGHT TO A SURFACE LEAD DEPOSIT IN...I CAN DRIVE YOU RIGHT TO A SURFACE LEAD DEPOSIT IN ARIZONA, RIGHT IN THE PATH OF THE BIRD PATHS FROM CANADA. I'm sure the birds can get all the lead they want. from stringers to veins over a half inch wide right on the surface. If any thing burrows to deep they should start glowing because the lead deposit turns into high grade uranium 600 feet down. If there is any gold nuggets around look for a pack rat hole, pack rats will collect every gold nugget they can find and put them in a pile. maybe we could train pack rats to pick up the lead:) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7877849.post-55501914276671367952017-05-29T03:41:06.645+10:002017-05-29T03:41:06.645+10:00"I do not believe cats kill almost 4/10 birds..."I do not believe cats kill almost 4/10 birds/animals that die in US every year. I doubt if the actual figure is even a tenth of that."<br /><br />I don't think you own any cats. If you did, you would not have made a statement like that.<br /><br />My family has had DOZENS (all domesticated) of cats. We've finally pruned that herd to just a few. But, hardly a week goes by (sometimes more frequently) that 'Thug Cat' doesn't drop a little bird at my feet - all the while with a wide grin on his face as if to say, "I brought you a gift!" This despite our best efforts (water squirt bottles, etc), to try and dissuade him. And, this does not include all the feral cats in the woods surrounding our home.<br /><br />Cats are hunters. Hunters are gonna hunt. THAT is the law of nature. And, cats get what they stalk.<br /><br />Any media/society attempts at blaming the death of birds/mammals/reptiles/etc on poisoning from lead projectiles of fishing tackle is A LIE.ExpatNJnoreply@blogger.com
