I always enjoy taking friends out to pan for gold still, they will get a little "color" in their pan and go nuts thinking they hit the big time. So I put their massive amount of gold in a vile that has a magnifying sides so they can see what twenty cents look like up close!

Miners as a whole are a pretty optimistic bunch, it's always the next rock, river bank or whatever that will be their pay streak! But you can't pay a normal person to work that hard!

And once in a great while you find a miner that actually makes it!
