Two weeks after the New England's deep freeze put me into hibernation it went north for 3 days. In its place came a blue sky, temperature hitting 49, melting snow, and 15mph winds…it was time to go detecting. I was off to a less popular beach with a detecting partner. We had been to the small...

Hey Guys! This has nothing to do with metal detecting this time. My husband was digging a trench last night and found a gold plated lizard (about 6 inches long) deep in the ground. I know it's gold plated because of the Puritest Solutions kit he gave me for Christmas and it came out positive...

Would anyone know what the gold and silver flakes my boyfriend and I found are? We were out mining when I noticed a few of them on top of the ground. I then noticed that there was a chunk barely showing above the surface of the ground. We started digging and found that there was a pocket of...

I first started gold panning about one year ago and moved up to a homemade sluice box but never could get any gravel from the deep pools in some local creeks. I looked up how to make a simple hand pump for gravel but it just wasn't fast enough so I decided to make a suction dredge. I'm wondering...
