Gold dust that leveled a town. Is that a real movie or a country western song?
Wow, not too many adventerous fortune seekers out there huh? Yeah, I was a skeptic too but this weekend I went panning for gold with a geologist friend of mine and we discovered some "gold" dust in a tributary. We are getting it tested today. It is a very small amount but wow.
I have heard of a river in South Africa where it empties into the ocean where diamonds are so plentiful they can be picked up like pebbles on the river bed. It is heavily guarded by the DeBeers family with armed guards and all but it is a quite well known spot.
