Gold/Gemstone Prospectors Store


It's pretty cool that there's an online store which sells prospecting for those amateurs/semiprofessional gold or gem prospectors. How do they usually get their business idea from? Simply that some people has interested in or seen this as an outdoor hobby, therefore customers would find it more convenient to buy it online instead of going to shops in certain locations.

Let's take A&B Prospecting Supplies as an example, they've been serving professional and recreational prospectors since 1979. They are one of the most trusted sources within their prospecting selling service. What are they?

  • Metal Detectors
  • Dredges & Highbankers
  • Drywashers
  • Smelting, Refining, & Assaying Supplies
  • Books
  • Prospecting Tools

This is quite amusing that they actually offer these much things. Also the business is very special as it's for people who has specific hobbies or amateur who has an interest to know more about it. What I was trying to implicate is that their market may not have an intense competition due to its specialisation.

On the other hand, the prospecting online service could have a discussion group throughout the website among customers and suppliers, which it's a good way to exchange any information including experiences, questions...etc. Thus I think it's a really good idea of having an prospectors store with their own website built up.
