    So this is the Funnest hobby in the world pretty much. I've been prospecting for about five years here in Southern Oregon. Great to be outdoors, finding cool rocks, GEMS, GOLD! I even find antiques and couple months ago I found a real GOLD RING. On,y bad thing is wrecks my back but I won't let that stop me! Haha anyone else pan gold or sluice, dredge, highbank? Pics?

  5. Sounds awesome bro, I love the great outdoors and getting paid for exorcise and your passion is a dream come true. Kudos!!! I live in the mountains of West Virginia so I know how you feel about the forest and streams. They're magical and beats the he'll out of sitting in a cubicle all day working for someone else. Find you a willow tree in the spring and collect some green and yellow stems, scrape off the bark and chew in the inner layers. It is natural aspirin and ant-i inflammatory. Big pharmaceutical makes aspirin out of the same thing but your back will benefit more from the natural remedy. Keep on keepin on !!!

  6. I have a few gem quality but not much value. It's a personal keep, and priceless to me.

  7. pretty cool. one of my friends moved away for a year and lived with his uncle in a cabin in GA. they lived off of gold panning lol

  8. Hmm I live like an hour from the Oregon border in northern California. Wonder if any of the rivers would be promising out here.
