THE WINNER!
Congratulations to Ben for winning America's Toughest Jobs!
Gold Digging
- Gold digging is most popular in Alaska, Oregon, California, Texas, and Arizona.
- A gold digger can earn up to $2,000 to $4,000 per ounce of gold on the collector's market.
- Most non-commercial gold diggers use a water-based gravity process to find gold. They pour dirt into a pan or sluice box with some water and gravity causes the gold to sink to the bottom; it is heavier than the rocks and mud.
- Out of the states where gold mining is most popular, Alaska is the most lucrative.
