You might also want to just take a quick peak inside Hunter's suitcase from his trip to China and Ukraine (shown below).
Spend 3 minutes on social media, you’ll find plenty of gold diggers.
GOLD is where you find it.
But you can always find SILVER under the Lone Ranger.
Yeah, Fort Knox.
Get to liking rattlesnakes before prospecting in those places.
Apparently, Instagram, if you are a man who is willing to dress up as and act like a high school teenager in a rude, crude woman-mocking style!
Back when we had real music...
There is so much gold under the ghost town of Bodie, CA, they could be in the black for decades.....but the green weenies wont let them strip mine the desolate hills around it.
There is more gold around than many acknowledge. Within twenty miles of where I live in western Oregon there is a creek where people pan for gold, and find some. It’s enough for a fun hobby, but you will not get rich there.
I had some friends that used to have a hard rock mining claim somewhere along the southern bank of the Columbia River. They gave up their claim the year before President Nixon legalized holding gold again in the 1970’s, and somebody else jumped in before they could return and reclaim it.
They said that the claim only broke even at $32 an ounce, but they would have got rich quick on the takings of that mine at the higher prices.
I had a placer claim in Siskiyou Co. The wonderful Fish police decided that dredging killed salmon. Panning is OK for exploration but not an extraction method. Claims are considered real property. We filed a takings case and they eventually settled rather than loose. After that, a jumper filed a claim over mine. I failed to file on time. He then graciously offered to sell it back to me for 20K as it was literally in the front yard of my house. He now has the privilege of paying maintenance fees for something that cannot be used.

The family visited a prospecting park in Colorado back in the early 70’s. I vaguely remember the location, such as the stream coming down the mountain, but I vividly remember the shape of an old prospector’s thumb: like an inverted scythe.
Our family has a gold mine. Haven’t been there in a few years but it has lots of gold still. Uncle was taking about 2,000 ounces a year out of it and there is plenty more.
Once I finally retire, we might go up there for giggles and do a little damage.
