So I have found what I think is a pretty good bunch of Quartz with lots of minerals and ore in it. I am sending samples off to be analyzed, but it looks like everything from pyrite to copper, to silver and gold. I am in the process of crushing it, but am not sure what to do next. So far I have 5...

So I have been looking over these forums over the past week or two because obviously I have grown a curiosity in metal detecting. What brought me to this was a somewhat new ambition to collect old coins. So I am looking to get an entry level MD. I have looked over all the posts of other people...

Just got my membership to the GPAA, and found out there is a mine that is less than 10 minutes from my house that I now have access to, how cool is that. The area was a pretty good gold bearing area, but it looks like I will be doing a lot of dry washing. I am new to prospecting in general and...

Can anyone recommend a decent Assayer? I live in Montana. I am a newbie and have no plans to be a full time prospector, but do want to spend a fair amount of time in the field. I have found some promising looking quartz in an area I plan to work. It looks to me to have pyrite, copper, and...

What treasure does this quartz contain? I think I see Pyrite, copper, gold, and perhaps silver. There is more where this came from, a lot more, is it worth prospecting?

Hey all, I am a newbie to this site and the whole prospecting thing in general. I am a 45 year old disabled veteran, and have taken up prospecting with my 8 year old son, who is a real rock hound. I live in Montana so opportunities abound here. Right now we are doing a little panning and some...
