Now what can I say about Josh. ... When he was a child he and his grandfather would go for rock hunts. For most people what comes to mind is a little boy showing a rock to Grandpa and having him say “that’s a pretty one” and the boy stuffing it in an already overflowing pocket as he looks for another one. It wasn’t like that for these two though. Josh’s grandfather knew geology, so when Josh would show him a rock his grandpa would tell him what kind of rock it was and how it was formed. (sedimentary, igneous, etc.) Then he would tell him what it was made of. (mica, quartz, gold, etc.) Then came an approximate age of the rock. (Older than dirt, comes to mind)


	Okay maybe the picture is a slight exaggeration, the nugget anyway, but only slight. Josh is consumed with rocks especially the golden ones. He will amaze you with his knowledge. This man is a combination of geologist, gemologist, and of course gold prospector. That is not to mention the fact that he is practically a walking encyclopedia of anything that has anything to do with rocks.


	At the ripe old age of 40-something Josh is still looking for rocks. He has developed an amazing amount of knowledge about gold in particular and has his own gold prospecting venture, where he will teach gold panning, dredging, and metal detecting. He has a website of his own design with the appropriate title of Goldfun.

			If you would like more information about Josh’s personally guided gold mining trips you can send him an email.

Another thing that has come about due to his obsession for rocks of the golden type is that he often sells nuggets and has an Ebay membership just for that purpose. This is a link to his gold nugget auctions at Ebay.




	This is a portion of our little piece of heaven the day after a heavy rain. Further downstream there is a wide, flat area, with calmer water to pan in.


	Before you ask, no he doesn’t wear contact lenses and yes the eye color is for real.


	Josh has his own MySpace. At this point he hasn’t put much into it, but here is a link to his MySpace.
