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?
Ive got 13 tiny pieces that i sluiced over the course of two days a bit north of ya.. if i was in s oregon id probably make more time to pan but up here its 13 flakes over the course of two days, tons of black sand only traces of color.. Sent from my LGL34C using Tapatalk
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 !!! Sent from my HTC Desire 816 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
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 i wish i could try it but i live in FL.
Hmm I live like an hour from the Oregon border in northern California. Wonder if any of the rivers would be promising out here. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk
No, but I would love to! My favourite is digging for crystals. Sent from my LG-H831 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
