    Hi Rod, this is Rob, Cybele's friend, and we are here in Joshua Tree watching your video. It's my first time seeing your operation, and of course, she tells me stories of you and I think you are an amazing person. Thanks for all you do for Cybele, and I hope to meet you someday. Your video is awesome, and you guys sure seem like experts. I'd like to visit your operation someday with Cybele.

    American here have owned and operated small (very) placer gold mine created by an epithermal spring.
    We had at least two inspections a year, one by state and one by feds. When I watch some of your mining techniques and equipment, it gives me the willies . So far We have not seen serious events (Yea), I can't help but wonder what our big brothers in operations and environment would have to say about some of your methods. If you hear the dogs howling in the background it is because of the high pitched screams of one or both to these groups.
    For example, when we finish at a mining site it has to be returned back to it's natural state as possible=====including closing/blocking no longer used mine shafts and open pit operations smoothed out and grass planted,even though grass wasn't there before and any roads made impassable.
    AS for people working under an operating excavator---OMG
    Speaking of the OMG the beauty in these gems will make diamonds hide in shame

    Love the video Rod. Hope you will do one showing how you work the rock after extraction. Sorry I missed you up in Tucson yesterday but Karen told me about this video and we watched it straight out. Really interesting and you have some beautiful stones. Take care and happy hunting.

      If they do it anything like in the US, smooth it out with a dozer and seed it to regrow vegetation.
