I would like suggestions for minis to use as prospectors/gold diggers, please?

Old Glory's has one from a couple of month's back, but it is fairly tall.

I converted mine from ragged ACW rebs by changing their muskets to shovels and picks and adding either shovels or gold pans to their open hands.

Thanks I have to go looking for some pack mules and stuff for that one ;-)

Converting is the last resort for me - I'm danged short for hobby time (and have too many projects) as it is already - but nice, anyway  :)

Britannia do a nice one leading a mule as a one-piece casting.
No photo, sorry, mine is long gone (but he was nice!)

Or you can grab one of the pack horses from the old Ral Partha Brigands' Treasure Caravan

They might do. Have to check my account before doing more purchases right now, though... Just ordered plain horses, dromedaries, and Schäferhunde from Ebob + saddled horses, and a gallows from Knuckleduster  :D

Luckily, my paycheck should arrive wednesday  :mrgreen:

I still have mine :)

There is one in amongst the Foundry civilians. Dixon miniatures may do one as well.
