I am amazed learning throughout our tiny blue orb there are locations where gold can be found on the surface, or just a few inches below the surface.

Check the series 'Aussie Gold Hunters' to witness people making a decent income finding gold just laying around, waiting to be scooped up.

Congrats to this Gold Hunter!

Peace.

I Arkansas they have a park where people can buy either just walk around and find diamonds, or buy buckets of dirt and sift it to look for them. A kid not long ago found like a huge diamond just lying on the top of the ground after a hard rain.

I hope the UK.gov just wants a cut...and does not seek to confiscate this man's hard-earned find.

They are going to take a cut and then tax him on his cut

There is an entire society here in the West that possess gold mining equipment. Every year as the snow thaws and the streams and creeks rise, they head out, set up camps, and spend 3 or 4 months panning for gold. They usually find enough to live comfortably for the remainder of the year.
