But, I must confess that there is a plan in the works to entice her to join me while we (I) prospect for a week or two this summer - as a vacation of course; we’ll be searching for the rare, perfect rose quartz impregnated gold nugget, to make her a one of a kind ring or necklace. That’s my story and I’ll stick to it until hell freezes over, or we locate the perfect nugget for that ring, ..or necklace.
Small dredges can out perform most under ice mining and panning methods, but will not guarantee you an entry into the select group of miners that have discovered glory holes in mining country. You can make a living, but it’s doubtful that the individual miner will get rich; unless you like hard, sometimes hazardous work and rough living conditions, take an office job.
But, if you’re an adventure junky, you should try it once or twice in your life time, just for the rich contribution it will bring to your book of life experiences. The smoky camp fires, the hyperthermia from constant exposure to rain and snow or leaking wet suits, half cooked food eaten on the go and demonic insects that creep into your sleeping bag at night with every intention of draining you of your essential life force; lord how I miss it.

Wow, Damo, you cut straight through to the heart of the matter, the bars and service specialists always seemed to wind up with the gold at the end of the day.
Princess Kleo, it’s a tough adventure, but if the only treasure you’re after is the gold, you’d be disappointed, however-the gold is out there waiting for the stalwart individual willing to wrest it from the land. Survival is 70% will power, 25% hard work and 5% luck-I believe that you have that in good measure! It’s great to have you visit.
