Sounds like you've got it figured out! The thrill of the hunt is always the best part of the ride, mother nature is a bonus....but it doesn't hurt to have a recovery every now and then for the old moraleaarthrj3811 said:Hey Stevesnoā¦..Thanksā¦..I am learning to enjoy my age. I mined only for Placer Gold almost full time since 1981. Then the Doctors told me I should not dive. I had a big hole in my life. I worked on the stream beds for a few years but that was hard work. So I started looking for big treasures. The learning curve is long when looking for treasure.
I spent a lot of years away from home sometimes as long as 3 months. Now my wife is my full time assistant. We pack a lunch and go for a ride. When I stop to look around she picks up rocks and takes photoās of the area. Now the most important thing is the hunt. If I decide to dig she helps.
I donāt get to excited about gold anymore, but hunting it so much fun and thatās what I have becomeā¦A gold prospector instead of a gold minerā¦.Art
