Gold Panning in the Dominican Republic
Uh I got one...Not long ago a company called Barrick (from Canada) came to The DR and found tons of gold (one of the largest gold mines in the world as a matter of fact)...then they paid off the government and they were given all the gold without having to give anything back in return...How's that for a good gold finding story?...Yeah I know I'm bitter about the whole Barrick situation...:tired:
Anyhow...if you want to find your own gold then you can take a tour with these guys

Or if you have enough money to pay up some bribes the government will give it to you for free...

I'ld like to hear of stories of individuals finding gold in the DR...
I found a gold tooth in Sosua one night on the main street
I know there is some in the Yaque del Norte, I have found it. Mainly smaller pieces of flake, but a few small nuggets.
There was another thread just recently about gold, it has seemed to disappear.
I posted in it and TheHun posted in it just a few days ago, I searched by both usernames, and no thread was found.
Guess we can't talk about finding Gold.
I found the thread, guess my response and TheHun's response and another poster was considered off-topic and at least 3 of us got deleted.
It was about Barricks.
my bad!

That's one interpretation, albeit wrong.
The first thread was started by one individual and then responded to by a sock puppet of the OP who offered as a contribution a SPAM link to a pay for gold panning excursion. To leave the comments and remove the SPAM and the SPAM setup would have made no sense so all were deleted.
Sometimes, just sometimes, there are reasons for what happens here - LOL.

Mod.
It happens. Don't take it personally, even the mods delete some of my posts
Why not, he's just another poster -

I have been trying to read up on this situation. Anybody have any good links or info about Barrick in the DR
Interesting explanation,
...would that be something like the two links in post #2 of this thread as quoted below?

thars gold
in dem dere hills....
once upon a time in the middle 80's . a u.s. guy came here and you know the rest. Met a girl and was not leaving without her. BEING A YOUNG GUY FROM THE WESTERN STATES he knew how to work a river and they did work together.
Of course there were two or three of them working that section of river and he brought in to my friends shop a bag every two months. He did not really handle river gold so , for a small fee he would take it to another gold dealer.
Of course the story has a happy ending....
they got on a plane together.

Hmm, I joined this forum expressly for the purpose of discussing some prospecting possibilities....perhaps things will improve, if not, oh well....
we went Gold Panning yesterday, just outside of Jarabacoa in a beautiful little stream. It was 4 of us, spent the afternoon there and found quite a bit of Gold. Great time.:classic:
