Oro Expeditions
Finding America's Hidden Treasure
"I follow the Grail vision wherever it leads, for I am destined to find and wield the holy vessel. They call me 'fool' and 'dreamer', but I was born for this quest and in its service I will die." ........ Grail Knight
Oro Cas
Taught about living off the land by his father, grandfather and uncles, Oro Cas spent summers living in the forests of his native Western Maryland mountains. At the age of 14, Oro's father loaded his troop of Boy Scouts on a bus and headed west to the Philmont Boy Scout Ranch in New Mexico where Oro got his first taste of Gold Panning. He was forever hooked. Gold mining and prospecting have been a recurring event in Oro’s life ever since.
Fascinated with the history of the gold rush era in Western United States, Oro always wanted to experience gold mining in those historic areas. With the support of friends and family, Oro Expeditions came to life. The Expeditions began as Oro's dream of becoming a full time gold miner after retiring from more thirty years behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer. Traveling from our home base in Western Maryland to the southeastern US then on to the Mother Lode country of North Central California, Oro spent a lot of time talking with people from all walks of life, that are both recreational and full-time gold miners.
From these adventures the vision of Oro Expeditions was born.
