It very much depends on how much money it takes to maintain your desired lifestyle. When i lived out of my van and had no children or wife i found it was very easy to earn a living. Once i got the experience i needed to know to learn how to "read the river"it was easy to make $150 to $400 per week just using a gold pan, sluice box and a small suction dredge (2 1/2 inch). The key is not to give up until you figure out what you are doing, then it gets fairly easy. Fun even.
It is tough in the beginning and it is very easy to give up. The rewards are there however if you stick with it.

What does it mean to prospect for gold?
Prospecting for gold is like prospecting for anything else, be it a job or a spouse. A good gold prospector will do a lot of research before ever leaving his house.

This can happen with your first pan or it could take years or could never happen at all. In basic terms; Prospecting is the "search" for gold, Mining is the "extraction & processing" of gold.
