Ive been stalking these forums for long enough to realize there isn't a lack of young men captivated by the idea of striking out on their own into the wilderness for some prospecting. I admit I'm one of "those guys" .... You know, one that watched Gold Rush Alaska and thought that looked easy? We'll I'm also a realist and read enough from experienced prospecters to know there would be a lot of hardship waiting for me in the backwoods. I read once that your first few years are just investments in learning more than finding any real value in the ground. I currently live in the lower peninsula of Michigan and have been panning at local creeks. Every time I go out I find a few specs
Anyways. Long story somewhat shortened.... Is there anyone or anywhere that offers a school of hard knocks style prospecting education? I want nothing more than to spend my summer playing in the dirt learning from someone who knows what they're doing.
