I plan on recovering an ounce of gold from a creek I stumbled upon purposely
I saw a shiny penny on the street today. I think that's the realistic version.
I've already pulled 7 grams from a very small section of crevices over roughly a 6 hour period
Man, I wish I could be as upbeat about this year as you. I like your energy, even if you seem to be hellbent on proselytizing prospecting.
Oh and I'm not proselytizing. The less people that prospect the more gold for me.
It's keeping me sane. If I stop moving I may just lose my shit
In Australia that's roughly $1100
Not in Australia. Lol
Recovering how?
Technically, most of the gold in the creek is from the tailings of the old timers. They lost it so I'm gonna recover it. So far I've pulled 7grams out of an area no bigger than 6'x3"x4" deep. It's stupidly rich ground
