I do it more for the excuse to get out into the deep bush near me. There are a ton of gold bearing streams in the mountains by me that are so remote they only see a few people every year.
I've only ever came back with like 20 dollars worth of gold though and that is with a sluice. I'm in the south east so I won't be able to retire on it
I've found a bunch of cool rocks and gemstones though which is a pretty nice bonus. I have a jar filled with reds blues and yellows.. they could be gemstones or just quartz.. idc.

I’m always curious what is considered wilderness or “fair game” in terms of access and extraction.
