SRGD Holiday Party
Posted by Kathe | Filed under EVENTS, Newsletters
Who is invited? All Santa Rosa Gold Diggers, past & present, their family and friends; anyone interested in ‘checking us out’.
When and where? Wednesday, December 21 at 7:00PM at the Sonoma County Veteran’s Memorial Bldg on Maple Avenue in Santa Rosa.
What’s happening? Dinner, a short meeting, show-and-tell and a big raffle.
What to wear? As always, what you want to wear.
What to bring? Besides yourself, bring something edible that you want to share, like a side dish, or a main dish; bring a salad, finger food, snack food. Bring MY personal favorite: DESSERT.
Does it have to be home-made? No! Many of us don’t have the time or the inclination to create something from our own kitchen; ‘store-bought’ is fine.
Does it cost anything to attend? Nope, just your choice to come and have a good time with good people. If you’re new to our meetings, you do not have to join the club. No pressure, but if you like us, you’re welcome to join us. Or check out a few more meetings before you decide.
Agenda: We’ll have dinner first, then a short meeting followed by show-and-tell. Then we’ll have the raffle.
There will be gifts on the tables for you.
You can go back to the buffet tables as many times as you like, but try to remember on your first time through that there are people behind you; try to leave some for the rest of us, but don’t go without.
Other “stuff’ FYI: Members often donate something to the raffle. If you have something you would like to donate, we give free raffle tickets for donations. We have had members donate homemade beverages, (as well as store-bought), works of art, unique handmade items, crystals, foods, camping and panning gear; make it something YOU would like to win and we’ll be happy.
I hope you, your family, and your friends are able to join us on December 21st at 7:00 PM. We’ll look for you.
Happy Holidays!

Dangers of Mercury Poisoning
Posted by Kathe | Filed under EVENTS, Metal Detectors, Newsletters, Uncategorized
This is an excerpt from an e-mail Jolene Dusseau sent me Feb 15, 2011. She had much more to say about the dangers of Mercury Poisoning when I spoke to by phone, but this is the gist of it. Please research, and use extreme care, when using this substance.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“Back at you for the Valentine. Good talking with you last night but sorry about the news about Buck. Tell him to keep up the good attitude.
Then the news about Doug wasn’t good either. It is VERY important that everyone understands how bad this problem is, and can become, as it is in his cells, bones, tissues, organs, and brain. A word of warning: the VA doctors don’t and won’t recognize it as a problem. He (Doug) had been going there for 3-4 years and they were trying everything but the right thing. They were treating him for Parkinson’s and Dementia. The Heavy Metal Hair Test proved it to be mercury toxins due to environment and possibly self-inflected. Please be very careful when handling that stuff.
Do you remember playing with it as a kid and thought it was fun?
Thanks for the info.
Bye for now. Give our best to everyone at the next meeting. Keep the Newsletter coming as he enjoys reading them.
Doug and Jolene”
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jolene stressed the warning about the terrible side-effects this poisoning can bring. She said Doug has tremors, mini seizures, lethargy, memory loss, hyperventilation with blinding eye and head pain. The chelating process it long and uncomfortable.
So when using mercury to reclaim gold, always do so with open ventilation, and wear gloves. Question where the fish you eat came from; Doug eats approx. 2.5 – 3.0 pounds of fish a week.
Jolene doesn’t want anyone else to suffer what Doug, and she by extension, have had to endure. Try something else and use merc as a last resort. And think about others in your home or community who may become poisoned by your use of this substance.
Thank you, Kathe
You are invited!

In case you haven’t read the Nugget News for December 2010, we would like to invite you to our annual Christmas Party. The dinner/meeting/party will be held at the Veteran’s Memorial Building on Wednesday December 15, 2010 at 7:00 P.M. Anyone who is a member, anyone interested in becoming a member, and/or anyone who would like to find out more about us is invited to attend.
Those attending are asked to bring food or drinks to share. The fare is buffet-style, and the club provides the cold-cuts, utensils, napkins, cups, cheese, bread, and some condiments. The menu runs from appetizers to desserts. Please bring something you would like to eat, too. No alcoholic beverages please.
After the informal dining, we will hold our monthly meeting, followed by the regular raffle. If you donate to the raffle you receive a free raffle ticket.
Meeting business usually covers future outings, new and old places to look for gold, show & tell, and general member participation. Family, friends, and anyone with an interest are invited.
No matter what your religious, or non-religious belief, may the haliday season, and the new year bring you fortune, good health, and joy.
