Jokes about gold, prospecting and mining

Posted 23/04/2019 in Gold


Having a good sense of humour is a handy asset for those interested in gold detecting, gold sluicing or gold panning. 

Years ago my grandfather dropped his full vial of gold out of his shirt pocket into a fast-moving river and couldn't find it again. 

I watched someone drop their first ever gold nugget through old floor boards, where it now lies trapped beneath the building. 

Any prospector who uses a detector can tell you they have laboured endlessly in the hot sun digging holes for gold nuggets only to come home with nails and bullets at the end of the day. 

In fact, many prospectors regularly come home empty handed after having spent large sums of money buying gold detectors and coils. 

These people all have one thing in common - they laugh it off and get back out there looking for more. They've been struck with gold fever, and it ain't letting go!

In the spirit of this good humour which often comes along with gold fever, we have chucked together a bunch of jokes about gold, prospecting and mining.
