It's ridiculous yet people do it.

Independent prospectors are working old tailings you say, yet getting fresh ore from a real mine on someone else's dime is somehow far more impossible and less economical. Right?

If they're working old tailings, why do they have to buy rock crushing equipment?

If it's so impossible to identify gold ore then why are there enough amateur prospectors to support an industry manufacturing equipment with which to crush the ore?

You say they could never find the ore but don't think someone who was interested in prospecting might LEARN A LITTLE GEOLOGY?!

What if someone built a flexible plastic drain pipe for a sluice on-site? I bet there's lots of running water in some places. What's impossible about that?

I don't know what this has to do with Excelsior but listen to how far you bend over backwards to make things sound impossible. It's inacessible yet it's in a heavily traveled area. There are no roads or railroads, yet it was a working mine until 1918. What did they do with the gold? You couldn't take a small 4X4 with a trailer down an old railroad bed? Maybe cut a few branches?
