Talk it up everywhere..... IT WORKS!

[TerryC]

I am a big proponent of talking up this hobby. I tell my UPS driver Eddie, my pharmacist Henry, my doctor Gary and others. He is brand new to this addiction (doctor, addiction, get it?) He wants me to help him start finding "da gold". My God, he's older than I and is bent over like a "j". Sure, I'll help him. I first suggested logging in to Tnet for gobs of good ideas from thousands that will also help. We talked of sluices, highbankers, detectors, and other gold stuff. I guess I will have to schedule another hour to talk of my physical problems! He is excited. I am spreading "the word" one friend at a time. Talk it up! ╦╦Ç

Hi Terry,
I try to do the gold talk whenever I can. I even teach prospecting classes twice a year through the Black Hills Community Education program. They are three two hour classes with a day field trip at the end to a claim for the students to do what they learned. My next class will start mid-March. It is sure a lot of fun.

The work involved can also make a young man old very quickly too. ╦╦Ç

I change my email and voicemail when I go on vacation to say that I will be in the mountains prospecting, and have spotty reception, I'll check my missed calls back at the hotel at night.
All my customers and people I deal with know about my prospecting hobby, and several have asked how to do it, The best is I'm in Michigan and they are surprised to learn there is Gold in our state.

When I'm back I carry a vile of gold and rough gems to show them, makes for great conversation.

I’ve organized the Finding Gold in Colorado Facebook group which some of you (and over 2,100 people) are in. The group members have helped lots of newbies get connected with CO prospectors and get started after meeting in the group . I’m also doing a presentation on gold prospecting at a local library this spring (for $$!). Oh, and there’s my website, which gets about 12,000 page views a month now and helps lots of new folks discover the joy of panning in Colorado. Its even at the top of some google searches so that says something.

So...yeah, I’m doing what I can

Next up, the book [emoji433]!

That's an idea! Carry a vile of gold. Who would NOT want to discuss my gold if I were just looking at it. They would be starting the conversation. I wouldn't have to say a thing to start. ╦╦Ç

Careful! The cops might think it's a crack vial, and do an administrative forfeiture.
