Best Answer

Getting rich from gold prospecting takes a mixture of hard work, skill, experience, money and luck. You must be willing to spend weeks, months , even years trying to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together that create the conditions for a big strike.

Striking it rich does happen but most people quit long before they reach the level of experience they need to get rich. You may get lucky, but riches usually go to the prepared.
