Last weekend
Saturday morning a friend called me and ask me if i like to come along and do some gold digging in switzerland… Well I said yes sure, in my mind thinking of a relaxing day out in a Swiss valley enjoying some nature ROFLOL. So he said sunday at 8 am your place. Np for me i just set the alarm at 7 to get my cardio in and my omlet. By 8am Mike is here, quick a coffee and we go. In front of our house I already know this will be not a regular Swiss tourist day adventure. All this equipment….so off we go my daughter and our dog as well packed in the truck. We drive deep into some Swiss  remote valley. Bad I noticed, we are on a mountain and he said ” Down there see that small river?  That is where we need to go, that is where the gold is “.

So we pack all together and walk down this mountain to the river. When we arrived I already was done for the day LOL. Mike showed us what we have to do. So basically It was shoveling shoveling shoveling dirt into the Sluice Box ( you filter the dirt with it to get the gold), but first we had to set it up and make like a channel to get a higher waterflow through it and that means moving some biggish stones. After that it was shoveling moving stones all day long. Believe me that was one work out. Till today 2 days later I feel my forearms are sore and all kinds of muscles I never heard of.
After the day finished we had to move all that equipment up again the valley…That was like the worse intense HIIT cardio I ever did. Walk,rest, catch air….that for like 45 mins. What a day and a great workout. Plus lots of fun, all day outdoors, and fun with family and friends. Below some pictures enjoy. And YES we found gold. And YES I cheated with 2 beer, but 100% sure my body burned them instantly away.
