Travel to Russia this summer for Gold-Panning Championships!

So it look like a small city in Russia is having a Gold-Panning contest this summer. Don’t know if it’s open invitation, but it would be a fun trip! I would love to see how they prospect/pan in Russia.

Some of the story from The Moscow Times:

A general view of MagadanRussia’s mineral-rich Magadan region in the Far East is planning to host its first gold-panning championship this summer, regional authorities said Thursday.

The Magadan region, notorious for its Soviet-era labor camps and inhospitable climate, is among Russia’s top five gold-producing regions. In 2014, 24.1 tons of gold were extracted in the region, a 13 percent increase from the previous year, the Federal Press news agency reported in January.

So who else wants a bag of pay-dirt to pan every month??

Ok guys. I don’t know about you, but my wife is really into subscription boxes. She has them for snacks, flowers, cosmetics, jewelry; even the dog gets one every month. So I finally found one for that prospecting guy (or gal) like me. The “Dirt of The Month Club” from Roaring Camps in Pine Grove, CA. Imagine, a bag of pay-dirt right to your door…every month. Just ready to pan. 🙂

Check out the full story HERE. You can also visit Roaring Camps and do your own prospecting if you’re in the area. See their info page.

Good luck!
Dan
