RE: #163 - Prospecting In The North.

in #steemsilvergold7 years ago (edited)

Now that I looked a little closer, it appears the motor and pump are a single unit... I did see some mining, first hand and even panned myself along the North Fork of the Yuba River Area of Downieville... Lots of Gold came out of that area during the California Gold Rush... I actually bought a nice sized gold nugget from someone who at the time, found over 300,000 worth of gold under a Big Rock in the Yuba River... It's about 7mmX14mmX4mm's... Gold was pretty cheap back then... I wish I would have bought one of the bigger ones...

I would love to find a nugget that size! In my part of the world it is mostly flour gold and it would take a long time to get any amount of it. But I do it for the adventure and for the exercise. And being outside and studying nature is never a bad thing at all. Unless you get eaten by a bear! Lol
