There is one thing that all poor poverty ridden states have in common ! ( No gold or silver mines ) also thriving economic areas are usually south of the original mine areas , Just saying that’s where the $ go downhill .
There is some beautiful creeks everywhere in Mississippi where we stay & play but never anyone panning . I know the geology was not in the cards for these areas ! I am just starting to prospect and really wish someone would buy trainloads of ore and dump in the creeks here so we could pan at home ! Fixing to plan a vacation and have been rigging up a trailer to mill and smelt ore on a mobile trailer to test areas and purchase good ore to bring home & process .
Any ideas or information would be appreciated , retired GE ready to travel !
