The stereotypical image of the Prospector is an older man dressed in faded work garb, with a grey beard, missing teeth, a pickaxe and a trusty mule or burro. (See our page picture.) He'll be subject to intense bouts of GoldFever, [[HappyDance wild celebration]] when he does find a rich deposit, and suspicion of anyone who gets too close to his claim. You will rarely see a young, well-groomed prospector in fiction.

* Creator/ECComics' "Tales from the Crypt" ran a story called "Gas-tly Prospects", about a classic white-haired snaggle-toothed prospector named Whitey Whittaker, who travels to California in the 1849 Gold Rush, gets murdered by a claim-jumper, and manages to get revenge from beyond the grave without ever actually coming back to life. His FunetikAksent is so potent that at the end, even [[HorrorHost the Cryptkeeper]] finds himself accidentally slipping into it.
