Hi all.
I am new to prospecting.
My work schedule leaves precious little time to actually get out. For now. But, the OT pay is helping me load my arsenal for later.
Anyhow, I recently moved and now live near an ancient riverbed [off limits to active prospecting]. There is an old road nearby that cuts through rolling hills. And there's a lot of old abandoned mines in those hills [yea, off limits, too]. In some sections of road, you're passing through a 20ft - 30ft cut. Layer upon layer of rock and dirt with fresh erosion at the base.
I so want to pull off and fill a couple of 5 gallon plastic buckets! I want to run some test pans! I want to buy a Falcon MD20 and check this hillside out!
This is driving me nuts!
Has anyone else prospected the roadside?
