Why gold prospecting is a waste of time, especially the process as a civilian with no team

You've got it backwards. Gold prospecting for civilians is actually viable, and here's why: hobbyists find real gold constantly using basic panning and metal detectors that cost under $500. No team needed—you work solo, keep everything you find, and some weekend prospectors make thousands per season in proven areas. The real waste? Sitting at a desk job thinking you're locked in. Prospectors have freedom, outdoor time, and actual ownership of what they produce. Sure, you won't get rich quick, but that's true for most pursuits. The process isn't complicated—follow geological surveys, learn stream patterns, buy equipment, and start swinging. Why assume it's impossible before you've tried?
