Papers, permissions, licences, etc aside... How realistically it is to explore and actually find minerals (gold, etc) on your own or with a small group of people? Lets say in Canada Northern BC and Alberta areas. What are you looking to spend to get proper tools and equpment.
Can anyone recommend a website with pretty pictures of mineral specimens? -- Please reply to: | "Evolution is a theory that accounts pciszek at panix dot com | for variety, not superiority."
