PROPERTY NEWS – NEW PROPERTY – SAUL RUN

If you haven’t heard yet Tim K. found us another place to prospect. SAUL RUN. Thanks TIM!

 And remember people follow the rules exactly there; else we could loose access to it.

 

We have satellite photos and topological maps of the property on the website.

 

 MORE PROPERTY NEWS – BOOTH RUN

I’ve added some interesting items of booth run for everyone. Here’s an example:

Also if you go to this link you can see the entire creek as a satellite image, from the main turn at 885 down to the next road that South Barry connects to. Note that image can take time to download and is 4 pages long when printed.

  WEBSITE

We have a new website address. http://www.goldinpa.com we outgrew the geocities website way back last year and moved to a better free hosting service called Bravenet, now we have outgrown that one and the webmaster got us a new home, its on his personal server that he uses for his stuff. This will allow more pictures, movies, chat rooms, forums and such of our own. Look for upcoming features in the coming months, during this transaction some features will be as they are. “I hope you all approve, I did this on my own. Over the months I got tired of the limitations that the free internet sites had and one night I did it. If anyone doesn’t like the name we can change it to something else, I have no problem with that. How I came up with the name is by checking how people found us on the internet and “gold in pa” was the biggest search that was used.”

 Now people can remember our website address more easily, we can now add more pictures, and movies (we couldn’t do that on the free sites) and such. It’ll also be easier for the webmaster to work with the website. We outgrew the space of the free website stuff. We have almost 600 pictures that people can view, also as always the webmaster is looking for more pictures, all you have to do is send them to me with a caption for each and I’ll create your own members page.

 EMAIL NEWSLETTER

Looking for people to add articles to the website and our email newsletter. You can email your articles or even topics that you would think people may like to read about and I’ll see what I can find out for you.
