Re: California Gold Prospecting Map

Good post.
I agree with you rigger.
It's a valid question
to ask about the map.
If I was going to spend 25 bucks
on one, I would at least want
to know something about the
source of the data.
He could have responded in a less
defensive way.
I'm sure that alot of people on here that
post or lurk, are going to reconsider
any kind of purchase.
