Gold Seeker's Making The Plunge! Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

[Goldseeker5000]

 I have decided to go full bore persuing my passion for gold and Writing. July 1 I will be my last day at my full time job. I have decided to go up to my favorite spot in the mountains of Montana and persue detecting for gold, working on my third book, starting the fourth book which I will be writing at same time as third book. I will be up on the mountain for 4 months camping at the spot I will be hunting. I will be keeping a daily journal of everything that takes place in this 4 month period. This is the fourth book which will be called A Quest For Gold. It will be an account of the 4 month long do or die, make it or brake it gold hunting adventure. My goal is two grams a day or two oz. a month. This amount will equal my wages from my full time job. My job has become the equivalent of a cancerous tumor sucking the life out of me and my wife and I talked about it. I don't want any regrets at the end of my life or when I can't get out to hunt any more down the road. I will be filming everything that takes place and I will be uploading it to YouTube videos documenting the entire 4 month adventure I will also be doing videos on detecting & geology in mountainous regions with a heavy emphasis on detecting gold skarnes there.  I will be pursuing promoting the book, and I will have cell service up there, so I will be able to get orders filled for The Nugget Shooter's Field Guide as they come in. I will give weekly updates on here for the gold I find. I will be giving gold detecting & geology field training up there, so if anyone is interested, email me or call me. My contact info is on my website on contact page.  Price will be $250 for a 5 hour course. There will be alot to learn so it will be worth every penny. Any comments, go ahead and ask.

Good luck! I look forward to hearing about your adventures. Will you be able to post in this forum during the 4 months? I know I would like to hear about it during your stay.

[Goldseeker5000]

Yes. I will be getting a signal booster to increase my signal at camp. I should be able to sit at camp and do my work on the laptop. There is another spot 1 mile down the road where signal is good, where I can get email, post pics and do everything online each evening. I will be just 6-7 miles from a post office as well so books will be sent out as the orders come in.

I wish you the best of luck. I think many of us wish we could walk away from the nine-to-five and pursue a passion - prospecting or other. In another life if I was single and didn't have the financial responsibilities that I do today I might do the same. Keep us informed on your success. Fortunes are for the few.

[Goldseeker5000]

True. I was blown away when my wife brought this idea up when we talked. We worked out finances so I can do this but some bills I still need to cover for us. This was her idea. Her encouragement.I am putting together a type of discount for the book for a short period of time or maybe a gift when ordering my book on my website. I will keep everyone posted.

That's so cool Reese!

I'll be in touch soon -  Need to finish up some projects here in Helena>

Sounds good. If you book a field training I will make sure you come away from it with really good knowledge and helpful strategies. You will be learning some things that are not in my current book but will be in the next book
