Oh, I am with you. I can’t really afford gold anyway.
I know someone finding tiny bits of gold dust in south Kansas, both in a creek and even in some of his yard dirt, and it prompted me to dig out this sandy silt I saw at the park, and now I gotta slowly pan it and see if I can find a flake or large enough bit of dust. I tried two scoops and thought maybe maybe I found something…
This obviously isn’t worth it time/money wise, but I just want to be able to say I found gold in the wild.
