Ron, Are you going sell some of those good hard to find Alley mibs I will be at the auction, if your going to be there just put them in my truck We did not make it down to dig last month, too much rain. I'll let you know if we come down over the summer. If you know of anyone that may have a small plot of land for sale, let me know. I would like to have a small lot to put my camper on when we come down. SNYD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kokoken Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 A finely detailed, engraved certificate. In lower left corner of the border, above " Mount and Co" you can see the word " Goes" worked into the border. That is the name of the creator of the certificate blank . The company, Goes Certificates, is still in business today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primitive is okay, if they have showers and toilets......................don't need electric hook up, got generator. Anywhere close enough that we could attend the marble events down that way. Stayed at Paden City, okay hotel. Wells Inn, okay price little much for whats there. SNYD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
