For Mobile RVing, Ilaura and her sister said they didn’t start the gold panning business on a whim; They started it because they have gold in their blood.
It is very clear that the main focus of the Reeves sisters is their customers. “We always want to stay true to our roots. We don’t want to get too commercial,” Ilaura said.
They also guarantee that visitors will strike gold while relaxing and having fun. Since getting around can be a strenuous activity when you’re squatting by the river all day, Gold Daughters also provides amenities such as benches to make it as comfortable as possible.

Separated from her sister, Ilaura also designs jewelry with the gold she finds. Apparently this is a creative outlet for Ilaura where she only works in the off-season.

Regarding her education, Ilaura completed high school at Lathrop HS and her undergraduate studies at the University of South Florida.
