We traded fishing for the golden walleye and instead dig for that yellow gold. Fishing was much less taxing and much cleaner. I also don't think either hobby is cheap. We had all kinds of money invested in a boat and fishing gear. Now we have money tied up in a 4wheeler and all kinds of gear to find gold. When you caught fish you had something to eat. When you find gold you have something to sell although I doubt we will ever find enough to sell some.
We have been digging in a huge tailing pile (dirt that was dug out of a mine ) and running it through our drywasher. The place we are digging is on a gold claim that the club we belong to has and it is just south of the original mine. We keep thinking that when they ran all the dirt the first time they must have missed some so we are hoping to find their mistakes. So far, as you can see from the picture, they didn't miss much. The hole that we have been digging is starting to look like a grave. So if I go missing you know where to look. 😅
