Will a foreigner get shot at for prospecting gold in Alaska?

I’m from Europe, I want to invest some of my money in mining equipment and prospect for gold in Alaska, but I just wonder if US citizens will shoot at me for trying to dig out gold, because the economy is in a ramshackle? Is it safe as long as I have all the formal documents and is there legally, will the citizens still shoot at me?

Did I just make a bad career move?

I’ve been living out of my van for the last year, working for a photo copy place that pays $8 an hour. I just got my home running again, bought some prospecting equipment and am heading to the hills to find gold. I have $900 as a cash reserve.
