Even though they have put down thousands of dollars, the buyers often stop paying on their claims part way through the process after they realize they’ve been duped, but the company just sells it again to another buyer.

One prime example is an area that I have talked about in many of my articles. This is a very large area and I will actually describe its location again.

…in spite of the fact that the well-pounded spots probably don’t have much gold left, I see all too many prospectors hike down to a creek or other spot at the first place the road comes near it just because it’s the easiest access point.

Some ask if a prospector can collect an entire ounce in a day. It is possible; I’ve done it before.
