One Minnesota man is following his dream of mining gold in Alaska. The Isanti resident, Jeremy Runyon, shared a Youtube video of his gold-catching boat and it looks fascinating.
There's gold in them there hills. Or, at least there used to be. Explorers recently found a way into the now abandoned Union gold and silver mine to see what remains hundreds of feet under the Earth.
It’s not exactly the famous gold rush of the 1800's but there’s some drilling going on near Rochford, South Dakota which may indicate there still gold those hills.
