Faces of Boulder: Searching for Gold
Joseph Wirth and I happened to run into two very recognizable faces, Trapper and the High Plains Roller. These two men were panning for gold which is one of the simplest ways to obtain this precious metal. Although it is easy to pan for the gold it yields a very small amount making it a very time consuming way to make money.
