Question

Can I make a career of prospecting for Gold in Upstate South Carolina mountains?

Answer 1

You could but you'd have to be very lucky to hit anything big. I mean it would also be dangerous in the middle of highland 100km from any real civilisation.

You could always go Gold Prospecting in Central Africa at least your more likely to find something

Answer 2

Yes, but I doubt it will pay very well, offer many benefits, or have an opportunity for advancement.
