Hi friends,
I was overdue to head to the mountains and get some gold, so I got the chance to do so earlier this week. My friend @derekrichardson was also able to head into the mountains, so it was cool to do some digging with him.
We were at the trailhead at 6:45am and hiked in to a spot and got right to work. The water was high, fast and murky, so conditions were tougher than usual. Gold prospecting is a good workout and this day was no exception.
Here are some pics:
We were back at the trucks at around 5pm and the weather was perfect in the mountains.
My efforts were rewarded with some shiny gold for my pocket as well:
Good times! Thanks for coming by,
Brian
Damn that's sick how much is the yeild weigh?
Nice finds, you got a pretty good haul for one day. With the big winter there's going to be tons of gold to find this year!
I can imagine that the water being high, fast, and murky made it a challenge, but it's also part of the adventure. I'm glad you were able to find some shiny gold for your pocket!
I've never been gold prospecting before, but it's something I've always wanted to try.
how much is that gold in USD?
The gold pieces are small so not worth a whole lot - less than $10.
I love to be with nature. The place seems nice to spend time there, in addition you were rewarded with some gold ;)
This is still so insane to me how people can just get gold through prospecting. I can see that it is hard work, but the concept is still so alien to me, coming from the Philippines. If it was available here, I can imagine droves of people just doing it day after day.
That picture I am seeing looks like a waterfall. Am I right?
The view of all the hills is very beautiful. In which enjoy the day. It is difficult to find some things by climbing the mountains. Thanks for sharing
That's a healthy amount of Gold, how much you have to give to the government from this gold?
It was really a great weather condition
It looks like you finally hit Pay Dirt...
I hope you find gold. Last time we did not get success, this time we will get success. I hope you have prepared well this time best wishes to you,
That’s freaking awesome….. I’m definitely gonna try an make it out to you next summer.
Yes, need to make it happen! 😎
All these natural beauty places looks so beautiful and amazing. Glad to see you were rewarded with some pure gold. Congratulations.
Good times!
