Afghanistan has vast mineral recourses that remain virtually untouched including placer and obviously lode gold... Gary Bowersox has written several books on his thirty years of dealing with gemstones in this area but never really was interested in precious metals as he perfers gems... lying at the foothills to the himilaya's the region is very unexplored but some locals placer mine gold in the rivers, the mother lode has to be there for the one willing to risk it... you literaly will be prospecting in the 1800's if you go... the local afghans are very independent and willing to partner and the gov't has little say on what you do once you leave Kabul, most of the country relies on tribal rule...
Any folks interested in going, who are used to rough field living and capable of sniffing out workable veins from traces? Willing to risk life, limb and thier own capitol? Just making local contacts and targeting commercial deposits could be worth big money in the next few years, big mining isn't eager to risk the unstable gov't and local warlords... Emeralds, Rubies, semiprecious, gold, silver, lead, copper, uranium, iron... name it its probably there... I have basic coordinates left over from Russian occupation, need expert prospector(s) and possible freelance engineer and of course money... stake a claim, lose it all, great drinking stories, you could be main character in future book on lost gold mines of Afghanistan...
