>>1345040don't know if I could call myself "prospector", but yeah, I recently got me a pan to play around in some alpine streams that are known to be gold bearing.
No luck so far, but just sitting by the stream and swishing around the pan is so relaxing. Sure, would love to find some big ass nuggets, but the act of searching them is quite nice as is, so it's pretty gud.
However, I would love to read some on the subject, but most books you get on the topic seem to be aimed at the "get rich quick" folks.
Any reccomended reading?
Also, I need a folding shovel, but most of those are some retarded tacticool crap or immensely heavy (mostly both), what's the /out/ choice?
