In the spring of 2005, I decided not to buy a placer claim that was for sale on the Fraser River North of Quesnel in the Cariboo region of BC. I lost a fair bit of money because of things I didn't know and regulatory aspects that I found out about when I got the reclamation permit.I have had the gold bug for a long time. This was the first time I was going to do machine digging.
I am not trying to discourage anybody. I learned about how things work. Learning is good.
Some folks may be interested in my BC Placer website, which provides information and resources about placer mining in BC.
