Prospector with shovel in hand and pack on his back stands, one foot raised, looking off into the distance. Beside him, also with a pack on its back is his dog, just as eagerly looking into the distance.
On the base are several plaques listing the names of those, either in the prospectors Hall of Fame, or on the Roll of Honor.
