Lazerboy: Been 20 years, film has to be gone by now. Not everything in the ground is valuable. Live out of town, and the septic tank needed to be emptyed. Was not sure where it was, but helped the guy locate it, with my pedulum. Guy, looked at me like I was an alien, ha

My flying life towards the end of my career, went like this: The company plane was an Aero Commander 1000 jet prop, that had 1,000 HP shaft HP per engine (2) New cost 1,700,000 Heres the 1000 commander mixing it up with traffic. This is an airport taxi way over a road. www.photovault.com/Link/Technology/Aviation_General/show.asp?tg=TAGVolume02/TAGV02P02_09Configured for Executive seating, would carry eight people in plush comfort, with an enclosed poddy seat in the rear. In the winter months,(every friday) my boss would come to the airport, at 5:00 PM, and off we would go. His wife lived in Palm Beach, Fl, ( During winter months, Summer to Lexington to the horse farm, )and every week end, off from Columbus, Ohio to West Palm beach. (927 miles, 806 nautical miles) The airplane was state of the art back then. Taxi out, take off, hand fly the airplane to 500 AGL (above ground level) and then turn the auto pilot on, with flight director, and put capture altitude in for 25,000 feet. When the airplane got to 25,000 ft, it would level off and trim itself. The airplane had global nav, so flight plans were made simple, by filing a flight plan for direct Daytona beach. Upon getting over Daytona beach, air traffic control, would start you down for (decent) for the West Palm beach airport. (Arrival approach procedure) Decents would be shallow, keeping in mind the airport landing at was still a couple of hundred miles away yet. So, put a new altitude in the capture, and roll the trim forward just a hair. Turning airplane entailed using the gyro compass heading bug. 500 feet AGL, shut off all auto, take over, start manual hand flying airplane again. If the weather was bad, would start hand flying about 10 miles out, for an instrument approach for landing. (auto pilots in general, give a better ride for the passengers.) Speed over the ground would be around 340 mph, for shallow decents. Flights on average, time wise were 3 hrs and 10 minutes, from Columbus, Ohio, to West Palm Beach. On the ground, they brought the boss his Jag convert, to the plane, they brought my rental car to the plane. So, now I had to go to the beach hotel for every weekend in the winter. Return flight was every Monday morning, back north. Did I have fun? I was single at the time, or I should say between marriages. It was a blast the last 5 years. About everyother Sat, I would take the one day cruise ship out of Ft Lauderdale to Freeport in the Bahamas. Ship would dock, and a person would have 2 hours to visit the casino. Yep, rough life, but somebody had to do it!! Note: next week, my encounter with a UFO. Just was looking over some of my old post, reliving in memory somewhat.

Here is the Map he did,.. awesome ;D ##################Retflyr1 I dowsed this crude map in 2004, and wonder what has transpired since then. Map not of good detail, but did get readings while dowsing this map on my desk. Sometimes, things in the ground are a different mineral, that what you dowsed for, however, something of value is here as marked. Also only the strongest deposits will come in from dowsing. The large lake to the north, and the red dot to the left, I am guite sure a large gold deposit.

Here is the Map he did,.. awesome ;D --------------------The early map that was once on the CMKM website. Yes, most all shareholders thought that by buying shares, that they would benefit in a ROI, I mean just look at the acres & acres of claims. (light green area, huge) Problem was, the claims were not in the name of CMKM, so shareholders would not get, even a Canada candy bar. \\\\Rf2////
