$3327

I started to watch a YouTube video on how profitable mining silver from his exhausted old silver mine could be. Check out the link below.

In that video, he mentioned the current gold price, and this would explain why gold prospecting supplies are low. I checked, and the current price of gold is $3,327. Now I'm doing this mainly for the experience and adventure, but coming away with some gold would be nice to pay for the gas.

This will definitely affect where and how many spots to prospect for gold, but since many of the old mine dumps from closed mines have been exhausted of gold or silver, they should remain closed despite the price.

I'm definitely pleased that I am starting my bucket list adventure now before things change. I can't imagine unlimited legal land to camp on, plus with the current gold price, this opportunity can't last forever.
