Charlie, I am looking for just enough gold for the inlay of my dogs head, for the gun I am getting done to celebrate her life. It started life as a 16ga hammer gun with Vulcan steel barrels, It will turn into an AA hammer gun with likeness of mattie on floor plate name on the side, dates on trigger guard. done in french grey. This project is gonna take awhile but will be one of my most prized possessions! Gary

The gun has been shipped and the stock blanks bought, the gun will be done by Chris Dawe, in Newfoundland, he has done some great work on wood and he will coordinate the build of this gun, the engraver is in Alberta, I have sent him photo's of Mattie and look forward to this project! gary

Looking for Gold are we?? The mine I work at in the summer mines up to 10 oz/hour on good stretches of the creek we're on now. Do the math! I think they rarely get less than 3oz/hr. That's what pays for my drilling program..... I love this job!

Gary maybe you could use some of the wifes old jewlery for your project. Believe me it will be well worth the wait and a treasured memento for life. Our faithfull companions deserve nothing less.

I have already secured the gold if the engraver wants to use mine, he might want to use say a 10 carat something harder. Since I have been married several times I thought of using old wedding bands but, figured that would jinks the whole project so decided not to entertain that idea!
