Subject: Re: Woody Woodworth's Target Testing Tube--- Hello Jim McC---
In reply to: Jim McCulloch 's message, "Re: Woody Woodworth's Target Testing Tube" on 17:54:12 04/14/05 Thu

Jim McC--- your coin elevator a vertical tube. The target
is dropped a measured distance on a string. I remember that you wrote the article. Maybe in was in "Treasure Found?"

The test method with the 45 degee slant is different. The tube is 36 inches long with a special opening. The low end is buried 18 inches, the high end at surface.

The procedure explained in detail in one of the later Treasure Seekers Magazines. Rod and John are on the cover
making a test. The title was Rod Redston Nuggetshooter Extraordinary. I do not remember the issue.

Actually it was Rod and John who developed a v/sat about a year before it came out. John was among other things a former radio repair technican and lived in Kent Washington. Rod was a retired Game Warden from Alaska. They were good friends and very capable. John added a "pot" to the SAT control on Rods Gold Master-2. He also at the same time added a 10-turn pot on the threshold.

In some manner Rod was involved when Fred Fish was using an early GM-2 prototype at Quartzsite. I kept hunting around the Chollas and getting "barbed"--- I would not be paying attention to the links. Rod Redston had a pair of forceps and was my baby sitter. One day I needed "Dr. Rod" twice. Several of the retired senior citizen "snowbirds" started to call me the "Cholla Kid."

Both Rod and John found hundreds of nuggets at Middle Camp
just west of Quartzsite. The test tube site was used by anyone who wished to use it. It may still be set up at Middle Camp.

There are only two "Grand Old Gentlemen." Herb and Woody.
I'm not in their league. I'm just an upstart-kid still learning the ropes. When I finally learn to groundbalance I may find a nugget or two.

If you read this before you leave for Primm; see if you can find out more about Sam Radding. Sam and I were good friends
and both of us were into drywashing; but Sam better. Sam was really a craftsman. Great at anything he did. I miss him.
