People on the hunt for gold are starting to search in Oregon once again, since many claim that 95 per cent of the area's gold is still to be discovered.<BR/><BR/>Brian Stocker with American Coin and Gold told Katu News: "The old-timers didn't get it all. <BR/><BR/>"A lot of gold gets stuck under big boulders and rocks and stuff that's just waiting to be discovered."<BR/><BR/>However although many are keen to keep searching, others have admitted it is partly a gamble.<BR/><BR/>Dave Donahue with Western Mining Corporation explained: "You're taking a chance. If you actually do hit something, it's fantastic, but if you don't, it's a little bit difficult to pay the bills."<img src="http://directnews.dehavilland.co.uk/dn.gif?feedid=196&itemid=3228567"/>
