If you are digging in a good spot and you are willing to work really hard... it can be profitable. I know some prospectors that do it full time and make enough to live on. When I go I usually barely cover my costs. If that. Sometimes I get lucky and do really well, but I do it more for the fun. I love just getting out and spending time out in nature. To me the gold is just a bonus.

I see. But when doing that full time you probably need a license for that then?

Well if you only do it for enjoyment... Think of thr free camping trips😱 even if you don't break even you are still getting a massive bonus with that. Enjoy bud!
