The new gold rush

In the heart of the Amazon mud splattered men are digging for gold with their bare hands. The price of gold on the world market has soared over $800/oz creating an auric hysteria. Its gold fever boys. This is no flash in the pan, the gold is real. The Eldorado do Juma wildcat gold mine in the Brazilian Amazon is like a modern Klondike. The rich earth is full of golden nuggets and the roughly 10,000 men have hit pay dirt.

A friend of mine who pans for gold in Alska says that finding two to three ounces per day is easy. He plans to hit the gold fields early next spring. Can't wait to see how it all PANS out.
