    Description

    Are you ready to meet original gold diggers and learn about today's gold digging and panning methods? Finnish Lapland is full
    of myths, legends and dreams. Many of these are centered on Lapland’s gold fields and those people who, even today, are hunting the world’s purest gold – found in and around the Lemmenjoki and Ivalojoki rivers. After learning the correct way to find gold, you will get the chance to try the hard work by yourselves. Shovels and pails are waiting for you at the ditch and off you go!
