It is a long, cold, winter here in Minnesnowta!

I haven't posted in ages!  I don't know about you but I'm getting super antsy for Spring this year!  Maybe it is because it has been so cold.  Maybe it's because I have the urge to go camping.  Maybe it's because I just want to travel.  Well, whatever the reason, I am getting really antsy for outdoor activities that don't actually require me to go outdoors in the winter!  So, I won't be doing any skiing, snow boarding, or ice fishing this winter!  Well, what can I do instead?  Here's something fun and interesting....

"Wait a minute!  What the?  Are you panning for gold inside?"  Why, yes I am!


How is this possible?  Easy!  You can buy just about anything online and these supplies are super cheap!
Yes, yes, it's true!  I paid $15 for a panning kit which came with 2 sized pans, a heavy hammer for prospecting, a pair of tweezers with a magnifying glass attached and 2 plastic vials for specimens.


I know what you're thinking, "surely the pay dirt is terribly expensive!"  But no, it really isn't!  I suppose you could pay a lot for some if you really want to but if your goal is to get rich, then just go to Alaska yourself and pan for it there.  You won't get rich buying pay dirt online but you don't have to pay a lot to have fun either!  You can pay anywhere from $6 up to hundreds of dollars depending on who you buy it from and how much you order.  So, if you want to have a little fun this winter, and you are tired of reading, knitting, or making snowmen in the yard, then check out panning for gold!
