I found this on a website recently - there are some modern day prospectors scouring the streams of Scotland for gold. I doubt if its a good way to make a living, I think it would cost you more in food to give you enough energy and warmth than you could cash in for precious metal for.
However I confess to being a little that way inclined myself. We spent some of our family holidays in the far north of Scotland finding some where there had even once been a mini-goldrush. I couldn't make a man out of it like this but maybe if our family had pooled together we could have done something similar. Not the queen's nose though.
I have been slightly inspired by the Scottish goldpanners website i saw this on to go and try some real prospecting but I doubt it will happen. It would be great if I could use my degree in Geology and Applied Geology to some profitable benefit.
Talking of rocks I saw the funniest thing in someones house recently - some pink/rose quartz sitting in a tumbler of water in the kitchen - some kind of new age thing. I cracked up when I saw it. Some of these things are pretty far-out. It was funny though.
