They do dig in the mountains and do panning. I did do some panning when I was a kid but maybe once or twice never had the chance again.
There was once a story that there used to be a gold that was infused on top of a big rock and apparently this rock was just there in the open but nobody noticed it until one lucky person did. I don't know how big the gold was but story goes that that person got rich from that - one time, big time.
howdy today @leeart! how interesting, and the income levels are low around there so people go up and try to find gold to survive on? do people still find some by panning?
There are those who stick to it and still mine and pan :)
howdy back @leeart! hey that would make another great post..to have you panning for gold and actually finding some!
Lol! Yeah, it would be. My grandfather was a miner until he was found to have a spot in his lungs. If only he was younger maybe he can teach me how to pan.
oh I'm sorry you can't learn from your grandfather but i bet there's alot of videos on youtube!
