Hi everyone. I recently decided I wanted to get into gold prospecting and gem mining and would like to ask you all some questions. I cant help but notice on here a lot of you guys say things like "the old timers got all the good gold" and that its unrealistic to think your going to make money gold prospecting. So my question is doesn't erosion play a big role in where and when gold is found? Why cant new deposits be found that were buried before? Creeks don't open up new veins?? Some places that were just out of reach of the miners of the 1800's could very well be accessible today. There is so much unexplored land in places like Colorado it seems pretty dumb to me to assume all the good gold bearing land has already been worked. I say the old timers were just more committed and worked harder and that's why they found more gold. How many people these days just give up everything they know and live in the mountains for months at a time looking for gold? It's just a little discouraging to a new prospector when everyone tells me I wont make money doing it. I know its not easy but its not easy to make money anywhere these days.
