I'm going prospecting!
Ok guys and gals. I'm headed out into the wild mountains, to the river full of gold. I'm going gold prospecting! So you won't see any posts from me for a few days. But I will have my camera and I should get some nice photos to post later. I'll be back next week, wish me luck!
This is how I got into collecting gems and minerals. Was part of Rt66 Gold Miners and while out on their claim one day I found a nice piece of agate and wondered what else we were missing while we searched for gold. Now I'm a full blown collector and part time dealer. Gold is great, but there are a lot of other valuable minerals out there.
Very cool! I just joined the GPAA this year, I joined the Inland Empire Prospectors and Miners (IEPM) chapter. I still have a lot to learn about gold and valuable minerals and all the super interesting geology that surrounds them.
