Alluvial gold in the Dominican Republic

[DrDuck]

This article gives an interesting perspective on what it must have been like back in the day, before the rushes cleaned out much of the easily won alluvial gold in Australia. This bloke is an alluvial prospector in the Dominican Republic, next door to Hatai.

The page Bedrock Dreams is pretty interesting too, but many of the better articles are in the early pages.

Edwardo's been at it again, collecting 61.7g in a day with his big dredge. This update has some interesting background on being a prospector in the DR.
