Without doubt, Kalgoorlie, Australia.
I know someone who spent three months metal detecting there and found 11oz.
11oz for 3 months, that's about £8500, sounds better than working.

Absolutely, the Chinese used to mine during the 1800's. Recreational prospecting still occurs there to this day. I have relatives that have found gold near the Himalayan Mountains.

Prospecting for gold is like prospecting for anything else, be it a job or a spouse. A good gold prospector will do a lot of research before ever leaving his house. But once you find a likely place to look you go out with a gold pan or metal detector and take samples to try and locate a deposit of gold. This can happen with your first pan or it could take years or could never happen at all. In basic terms; Prospecting is the "search" for gold, Mining is the "extraction & processing" of gold. Hope this helps
