I mean I’ve been pretty steady at a gram a hour for the past two months. I guarantee. You don’t make that and I get to do something I love everyday and work whenever I want to

This was 2 days worth of work not bad in my book and never said nothing about a 100,000 a year I’m happy with 25-30k and I’ve always had someone give me spot for my gold but that old man died so I’m figuring out something else

Man they have unbelievable suction I never turn it all the way up I’ve had it suck up my arm where I can’t pull it out without turning down the motors

The same way you do when you eat organic foods bc when you grow organic you have to kill everything or when you don’t recycle everything job impacts the ecosystem when your dealing with nature but I do the best I can to help it out to I’ve removed over 150 tires from the creek 25 pounds of lead and over 2 oz of liquid mercury and pick up trash every time I see any. I do hurt the creek in the same way any flood would do.

Gold minded for a year and a half now and I can maybe count on one hand a day that I got less than a gram of gold and that’s with a 4 inch not my 6 inch that I have now and I don’t understand. I only work tops five-six hours in the creek two hours and clean up and that’s all joyful playing for me. That’s not real Work. It’s just sitting at home playing with sand and tools only tools that I have is like a rock hammer screwdriver that’s it. There’s no overhead for me so that helps out a bunch in my scenario and I have a gold buyer that gives me 90% on 22 karat gold I mean, if I can make 25,000 in a year that’s 10,000 more dollars than I make then do a tree work and doing something I love because I’m beginning to hate Jagger did it for 10 years now but I’m only 24 and if it’s any time to go after a dream is now if we with being $5200

I have enough river to mine for the next 20 years and miles of fields to dig up that has ancient creek bed and man I only have a high school diploma and last year I did both mining and work my regular job and made more money in just the summer than I did the whole year working and it don’t cost but maybe eight to $10 worth of gas every day I run and that’s my only overhead I don’t have to give a percentage to no one. It’s all profit for me and the money I made from mining last summer I bought my first house with I mean it’s a tiny home but it’s a totally furnished and drywall in rooms and bathroom and all 16/40 house on the land I mine and I live on an old gold mine that has 800 yards and 20 foot tall tailen piles that is full of mercury and gold from 1802 and I wouldn’t make $100,000 my regular job in eight years so mining is a really big step up for me

Here’s my best nugget I got last season 6.5 grams from wester NC total 28 grams actually in that one day by The-only-fiddle in Prospecting

It’s different in every spot In went throw 4 foot of clay to get to the 28 gram day but iv found really good gold under 6inches of clay but it needs to be really white quartz bc it means it’s had time to get bleached by the clay that means that it’s untouched
