I spent the last 6 days by myself clearing the trail to the area I intend to prospect.. the trail is only like 1700 feet in Elevation change over a 3 mile course..All this just to be able to move my camp..And now I get to look forward to a day of carrying all my crap and setting it up again.Thankfully My brother and 2 good freinds have agreed to help me today so it should be done today..But anyway Tuesday and wedsnday I did a little prospecting and both days were a bust..It's not so bad but I have almost went thru my winter funds and I know That I need to start makin wage here pretty soon or I may not only have a rough season but that means a rough winter as well..Truthfully I am confidfent that all will be well as I have back up plans, But my point is that multiple times a day and even more so when I see hardly any gold I wonder why the hell I aint working a steady job et ect..I am always dealing with something! whether it deal with gold or the vehicle breaking down ect ect.. I figure this is with all men in all jobs to a certian point. But with a prospector I think we litarally Day to Day so to speak..And I am always and I mean always trying to exploit my dollar in any way I can.As the gold can be a basterd..But I think for all you people considering Prospecting as a job might want to consider just how inconsistant gold can be and consider other way to help one along in their pursuit.. For me All day everyday is the same pursuit to make what I enjoy payable! and it takes alot of work and money.Tools break, weather is bad,Food (I eat allot) my own stupidity or ignorance all these things cost me money that I have yet to FIND! And its not just about digging and finding gold Today one must be aware of Laws and allot of regional rules and regulations..So much to know and learn.... Why is it I don't get a dam job?? I did fencing when I was younger for a few years and that was hard work but I don't ever remember being this sore and tired all the time..And I always had a paycheck..Anyway I figured I throw in my couple cents as it seems it is all I have right now. I will be back for one day on the April 28 and will try to chime in again..
Sorry no gold to be proud of but luckly I am of a confident nature and maybe a touch of arrogance( or is it the other way around?) so I will have some decent gold producing in the next few weeks.. Good hunting to all
