Imagine traveling a thousand miles just for a chance to find your fortune. After they arrive, they will be greeted by local miners bearing the news of the mother lode. Head straight on up to the long tom sluice, the mine and the gold fields! Get supplies on credit and start digging and panning! Throughout the day they’ll learn about 49er life, including the feuds between the farmers and the miners and how gold was found. They might even learn the hard way about supply and demand. How could someone be charged $100 for a glass of water, and $1,500 for rent? They will find out how millionaires made their money as they watch the price of gold! Buy low, sell high! Make sure they'll visit the Assayer to sell their gold for as much as they can! Your donation to this project will help my students have an experience that will last a lifetime and provide my students with many lasting memories. The students will get to travel and see things that they may never get to see again. This trip will be the farthest some students have traveled in their lifetime.
