Prospecting for Gold


Where is Andrew's dad getting the idea to prospect for precious metals? How does this seem like a viable option in 2014?

Large mining companies and operations are able to locate and extract gold and silver, but it seems like he intends to go out as an individual with a shovel and sifter and find himself a fortune.

It's insane and I don't see how Andrew or anyone else in his family doesn't see it as a waste of time (and possibly money for supplies/living expenses).

The dad is severely f_cking them over in life and it's both sad and infuriating that no one objects or takes issue with his lack of willingness to take a steady job or his failed attempts at alternative occupations--Hank Williams tribute music and inventing, two things guaranteed to make nothing.

the kid seems smart and very likable but his dads head is in the clouds, he cant sing and cant even tune his guitar.
