What is the most useful resource you have found to help you develop your Genius Hour Project?
The most useful resource i have found is the internet. I can find any information that i desire about gold mining in just a few clicks. There are websites about everything gold mining including good locations, equipment uses, and the right techniques for panning. I can buy anything i need by just searching it on Google. Youtube is a great resource on the internet that has videos for just about anything you can imagine too.
If i were to find gold or ever expand my operation, the internet will have any sort of info i need to be productive. For example i could find people that also want to strike it big that would come invest time and money to help my mine. Laws and ordinances can be found on the internet so i can keep my operation on the legal side of things and not have to worry about the 5.O. Basically the internet is my life line for my Genius Hour Project without it i would be way behind trying to find all this information in books and by making calls.
How could i use my Genius Hour time more effectively?
I could use my Genius Hour time more effectively by being out in the field actually attempting to find gold. Going out and practicing my panning technique would be another great use and even looking for locations that might contain gold. Writing these paragraphs sucks a whole hour up that i could be spending more efficiently (joking) :p. Gold Rush's new season just started and most episodes are an hour, so i could spend the hour watching those to better educate myself by visually watching people who are pros do it.
Going out and talking to people around here who have been out and mining would be a great idea. Getting first hand accounts from the old timers about where they have been successful (if they are willing to give out that information) would be a leap forward so i wouldn't have to do so much researching. For the most part my time has been used wisely getting as much info as i can in the hour a week we have.
