Finding Minnesota: Gold Prospecting In The Iron Range

Gosh darnit just finished packing my carpetbag and was about to head up there to beat the crowd
Ha, just dumping that gravel into the sluice with the blade downstream and everything. A lot of people do stuff like that because "it’s just a hobby" and the grade is low, but you’re digging gold to toss it back in the river. He really just reaches right in the box and tousles it too. You might lose a quarter yard with that maneuver. Hopefully they know better now, because all of that is not good. They’ve got some screens there, but the operation looks dubious. Sorry to be cruel. Once people find a little they settle on their systems for better or worse: feeding it dry, not classifying, running rich, running lean, worst of all is the poking at the mat–that’s a genuinely terrible habit people like that makes no sense at all– but it all still amounts to something uneconomical, I suppose. It is NOT a guessing game, it’s a game of depositional probabilities in the vicinity of eroded lodes.
I found some nuggets as big as chicken nuggets. Oh wait, they were chicken nuggets.
You can go out and find quartz and aquamarine gems worth 250.00 plus, per gem.
hes only found 2 grams in 2 years??????
You can be a full time Prospector… just out west!
2:13 that shovel would be really handy. Lots of material falls right off your shovel when you’re digging under water
This is why they want to do this up for gold we will not let them kill her wildlife for gold.
So your telling me i can illegally use a sluice in Minnesota??
I hope that’s not a trout stream.
