Tropical Storm Irene caused what may add up to billions of dollars in damage to Vermont. But some residents are making the best of a difficult situation thanks to a modern day gold rush in the Green Mountains.
Some people may be surprised to hear there’s gold in Vermont but others have been panning for gold for years. “There is one family ...It’s a mom, dad and the children and they pack lunch every weekend and go to a local river and last year from April to October, they found enough gold to pay their property taxes,”
While the devastation from Tropical Storm Irene is still being tabulated and communities struggle with repairs, all the erosion has opened up new places to pan. “The devastation of the flood goes without saying, that is an awful awful thing. On the good side as far as looking for gold it moved the gold, it moved a lot of dirt, it cleaned a lot of places where you would have to dig before. So there is a lot more out there than there used to be as far as finding it is concerned."
