To: driftdiver
Hope it wasn't found on gubbermint or Injun land. Real question is why didn't they just hold onto it considering the incredible increase of gold prices.

If it was me I would hang onto the gold.
To: shadeaud
Well of course it wasn’t found on indian land,, and they’ll swear to that. If it was in the forest or BLM land, they can file a mining claim. (but the democrats are currently trying to change the right to mine law in America)

my hubby likes to prospect and has found some nice nuggies too and when asked where he found it he says “ I don’t remember.” He keeps his and I have some nice jewelry pieces.
Some are in it for the sheer love of the hunt..others for what it will mean in $$ some day.

Ward handed it to his prospecting partner, Byron Janis, and asked "Is this what I think it is?" THUD
Yup.

I went to Alaska to pan for gold. Alas, I broke my leg on the way in Cheyenne and when in Fairbanks couldn’t stand the rigors of creek side panning.
I did get a good bet better and a few weeks later, tried my luck in Bonanza Creek in the fabled Dawson City Yukon Territory..... Came up with nothing though. I got my pan in the creek but couldn’t stand the strain for long.
It looks like 2012 will be another trip to the great north land and the opportunity to pan the creeks for a flash of color.

On my first Alaskan cruise my daughter and I went panning for gold in one of the ports of call....The guide was a young guy and quite funny...He said he took his kids with him from the time they were little. Then one day he found his son at the breakfast table swirling his cheerios like he was panning for gold....Also said he went every weekend and found enough to make it worth while....

Sure tis a purdy one. I’ve been looking for his momma for years. LOL

Anyone who is serious about panning can make a living doing it. The chances of getting rich are always there too.
