I found this in a turn of the century (19th to 20th) book about prospecting and mining. The author suggests a troop of “Buffalo” (Negro) solders (I’m assuming they were cavalry – they well may have been infantry) found and then lost the Lost Adams Diggings. Unfortunately, the author uses...

Does anyone have any idea how to rid a cave of rattlesnakes? I found a small cave that is infested with them. From my flashlight beam there are several dozen of them in the cave. The cave is about 4' wide and 5' tall and about 20' deep (horizontally) and there are a few small ledges about 2'...

Went out saturday with a buddy of mine and his wife to hit up his grandmothers yard. She said the house was built in either the 1920's or 1930's. He said he went one time before for just a few minutes before dark and found a couple wheat pennies so we was hopeful and waiting for the nice weather...

I found some flakes is an area that I did not expect to find any traces of gold & I wanted to test it to see if it was real, so I dumped some hydrochloric acid on one of the flakes in a shot glass, waited a couple minutes, swirled it around a bit, waited about 10 minutes total, swirled some...

I bought a bag of dimes to go through today. The manager was nice enough to pull it off of the machine early for me today before it was full ($857). In going through it I found three silver dimes. Two were Roosies (1960 + 1964), and the other was a Merc with the date so worn that it is difficult...

I received a call from a good friend of mine, who knows I collect coins. He was walking and kicked a gold 1903 British Half-Sovereign out of the snow in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He didn't know if it was real gold or not, so he called me. (I can only wish to be so lucky.) He told me to come by...

If you want a real piece of honest advice from a veteran of collecting, trading, selling and buying in large quantity ; I recommend that you only buy pure silver or gold (99.9% or 99.99% / .999 fine or .9999 fine), because come sell time, you're going to face mass scrutiny and assaying...

Took the entire family (Mom, dad, wife and two kids) to meet up with GravelWasher down on the American River. What a great day! Mom and wife sat in chairs and emptied buckets into the Bazooka sluice. Dad was a digging machine and I ran bucket back and forth. managed to dig a large hole down...

I just turned 35 a few weeks ago and have always been interested in treasure hunting and prospecting for gold. Since I was born and raised in California, the 49er gold rush was taught in 4th grade history class. This opened me up the world of this fine metal "GOLD" Now I have moved away from the...

Hey fellow prospectors and treasure hunters. I started this thread to see what people had to say about gold still in South Carolina. I aq'uired a small tract of land in Smyrna, York County. Land has been untouched since the California rush (except the little old lady that lived there since...

On May 8th, 2012, I took my week old Minelab E-TRAC to a local park to practice. I had been detecting for over a year with my Teknetics Delta 4000, but while the E-TRAC offered more horsepower, it was also going to take longer to master. After digging plenty of clad and lot's of trash for an...

Heya everyone; I wanted to ask a simple question. How much would you pay for a California legal dredge? Lets just say that you could have a 100% legal dredge but it had to be fully underwater, electric and limited to no larger than a 1.5" hose. Run time would be 2 hours non stop dredging, use...

I looked through almost every thread that had the hit "Digital Scale" to see what I could find and noticed that it really varies from person to person. Quite a few people mentioned the scales from Harbor Freight. I would prefer it to be a pocket scale that I could take with me, but I am open to...
