Gold-digging in Indiana

With gold prices peaking this summer at more than $1,200 an ounce, some people are seeking their fortunes in Indiana's streams. They're panning for gold. Hoosier gold.

I wrote a full feature in the Indianapolis Star, entitled Hoosiers Go Looking For Gold, a surprise hit!

Here was a slide show of the photos of gold prospectors.

The Associated Press picked up the story, as did The Kentucky "Courier-Journal", The Greencastle "Banner Graphic" and "Daily World", "Jconline" from Lafayette, "The mining Industry Today", USA Today, WIBC radio 93.1, "Indiatimes", "UPI", Topix, and RoadRunner. It was also on the Fox-59 news web site, WNDU-16 website, and The Mining Industry today.
