    I frequent the area that mine is a few times a year to go fishing at the adjacent lakes and hunt that area during the high buck hunting season. I've seen the mine but it was only until recently that I learned who owned it. Pretty cool to find out that it's a famous UA-camr that owns it. I never heard back from Jason when I messaged him about it but I did promise not to divulge its location in the email.

    This adventure you shared with us really seemed to bring attention to (at least for me) the fact that the friendships we form during our journey through life are truly more valuable than one can put a number on. The experiences gained and shared with friends are the flavor of life. And as for an idea I'd cast a dye that would have 2 seperate chambers that you could mint the10g gold into half a coin and the other matching half from 10g of silver from your mine with the word Friendship stretching across both halves making it one coin and on the other side have Jason's company name or mine and Cierro Gordo mine or what you'd choose to represent you with the year. Put it into a nice coin case and into the museum so people who see it can reflect upon friendship just as this adventure you took us on did for me. Thank you.
