I earned my living as a prospector in the Mother Lode of California for a couple years and made a few decent strikes, more than most other folks. I figure that between the research and the actual work performed, I made about 10 bucks an hour. That wasn't a bad wage back then, but a lot less than what most people that have never ran a sluice or dredge would think.
Its worth a heck of a lot more in its raw form. When I was working in the town of Volcano, the local news was a guy had found a 6.5 lbs nugget. It sold for over $3 million.
Looks like what's left of a GINO'S pizza from 1971.

With the recent spike in gold, it's now up to $223,055. He may want to hold on to that for a while.
