Wow it's great to hear from you again Shepp. I was afraid you might be angry after I borrowed your idea to mine gold down in Guyana.
I'm glad you asked about my mining season and hope you aren't mad when you hear how I fared so well.
I thought I had a very unique background, but after reviewing the mining team applications and talking to many of the OSPA members I realized just how many prospectors have a history of losing marble tournaments. This is not a good thing when you are hoping to find silent investors with deep pockets.
After some major hurdles early in the planning stages left us on the sidelines for the year, but we enjoyed success beyond what we had imagined.
I'm sure many have heard about the Bearded Fat Man that mined for gold in Guyana on the TV and only found 2.5 ounces of gold leaving his team with a huge loss for the year. Using simple math I will now compare his season in Guyana to my season to show the success of the Taterchip Team.
Bearded Fat Man Team
$500,000.00 Money spent mining in Guyana
-$3000.00 2.5 OZ Gold X 1200/OZ Value of gold found
+$0.00 Diamonds Diamonds don't count when you're mining for gold
$497,000.00 Loss
Team Taterchip
$500,000.00 Money not spent mining in Guyana
+$0.00 0 OZ Gold X 1200/OZ Value of gold found
+$0.00 Diamonds Didn't even think to look for them
$500,000.00 Hows that for a return on investment?
$497,000.00 Loss
+$500,000.00 Not lost
=$997,000.00
Some quick math tells me a difference of $997,000.00 is quite impressive for Team Taterchip's first mining season. Who would have thought we could do so well?
Still looking for silent investors with deep pockets for the 2015 mining season! With your help we could easily double this success.
Please don't send another application Shepp, take some time off, it took me a while to get over losing my tournament too.
Are you sure those weren't your marbles in that antique shop?
