Take your pick penny stocks or panning for gold they are about the same. The guy in the film probably could only afford to buy 1 beer. Actually panning is cool but I just stay at the house and wait for the money to roll in instead of having to break my back panning. Maybe looking for pearls or sifting through buckets on dirt in Georgia or North Carolina. It has been a while since I have been in Idaho, Montana or Wyoming but enjoyed those states also Washington State but didn't care for the weather in that state. I love sunshine and beaches.
