The first time I visited a public mine, as I walked in and old-timer approached me. \"The trick to finding a lot of gems is to go through a lot of ore.\" Volume is key.\n\nThere have been a several times where I was in charge of non-profit organizations. A typical scenario of \"sifting\" for gems goes like this:\n\no- Put out ads regarding a meeting with the goal of attracting new members\n\no- 30 people show up, are excited to participate, and give contact info\n\no- Reminders are made, but the following meeting only 10 of those people show up. They're excited still, and maybe committ to volunteer for an event\n\no- Reminders are sent out, but only three people from the 30 attend. These gems continue to show up without reminders.\n\nMost people don't realize how much of what happens in the world takes place from the actions of a handful of individuals. If you collect any gems, be thankful; they're valuable!"}
