Thanks spaghettigold
I know :) , i actually have two brothers there and after they seen me prospecting here they did research and found couple of spots not far from our family house .i did not have clue when i was growing up there :)
The think is , Czech is right in the mittle of Europe and people , kings and queens :) look for gold for thousands of years :) so its pretty hard to find anything .
Thats beauty about young country like US , here you can find creeks where nobody step before :)

your welcome ,but believe me ,there are still viable gold occurences,how many depends also on current goldprices,how many yardage you can move,but even at todays prices.You would be astonished how many companys are actually mining or exploring.Our problem in many countries in europe for the small scaler is ;agenda 21,exaggerated green idealists,green certification industries, fish and game ,disfavour,etcetc.The general attitude to prefere the big boys and money by the method to obligate the small scaler to meet the same requirements the big boys have,making a barely profitable small ops unprofitabel.

One example; Sumvitg verbietet Goldwaschen | Mein Regionalportal Here they forbidd even goldpanning,exactly in the good spots.
I translate some lines for you for amusement purpose; The community of sumvitg has a problem with goldwashers.They come with prybars and winches and wash gold in the two creeks of the community.doing so they damage the riverbed(:BangHead:)by moving around the cobbles.They drive on roads with driving ban(travel management plan) and they camp wild.(Highly criminal,also because the local hotels earn nothing) They also disturb the hunters,anglers and the tourists.Thats why the community of sumvigt will take drastic measures and ban goldwashing totally in the valley acla and valley vallesa.The fish and game Dep.wants to start immediately to enforce the new laws to keep away the (now) illegal golddiggers.

I know thats much bs to digest already,but the nice thing is the same communitys/politicians gave exploration permit to this company before. NV GOLD CORPORATION GRANTED EXPLORATION PERMIT FOR SWISS PROPERTY
And here you can see a pic of a specimen found by a lonely prospector together with an article about the exploration progresses/issues of the before mentioned company. Neuste Goldfunde sind «ermutigend» | Mein Regionalportal
I,m still no expert in all those things but i,m finding those patterns in switzerland and italy again and again.As some say ;cui bono..or..A tree is known by its fruits. I don,t know how it works in czech rep.but i would not wonder to find them there too.
Here you have to start out big ,pay all the parasites theire share with no guarantee to succed.It,s almost inpossible to start out small and work your way up.Also there seems to be the strategy to look for high grade deposits,often glacial moraines are very good deposits in italy ,spain etc. and then make a national park out of it .Many of these problems i learned thru t-net , are also in the usa now, BUT,you have the mining rights overthere,so maybe that will make the difference.
Keep digging-emilio

Soooo true! It's the same in my area. The best producing spots are little creeks that aren't mentioned anywhere. I intend to keep it that way ;)
