Used to pan for gold about six miles sw of Dalonega, ga. many years ago and ran into a nice guy who was 3rd generation gold hunter. grandfather worked in the mines. Anyway he told me to always look for clumps of clay clinging to tree roots on the sides of the bank or even in the water when...
Good evening, friends of the forum need another help for these two researches I will go to this area on 01/07.
The areas are of an old sugar mill and have a lot of history since I thank you.
I received a call Wednesday (6/20/18) from Tim. While doing some yard work and planting some bushes at his home the previous Friday he had realized that he had lost his wedding ring.
His 14k white gold wedding band had been a replacement for a wedding ring that he had lost a few years before...

My first try at doing a prospecting video for my YouTube Channel it was a lot of work and a lot of fun to do !!! If you enjoyed the...
I hit up a playground yesterday for a short bit in between rain showers. It's the type with the wood mulch all over. I found this chain 3-4 inches down in the wet mulch and didn't think much of it as it was pretty tarnished. I figured it was either gold plated and worn off or was a...
Hi all, first time posting. I've enjoyed reading a lot of info on here and decided to reach out and ask if anyone has any suggestions for places to go in Wisconsin to pan? I've read what little I can find online about the State and its general lack of gold. Apparently the creek coming off of...
I was doing some gold prospecting around a river known for some nice nuggets, well we had very little time I got a few flakes. While I was stumbling around on the large boulders I noticed a large boulder of granite (pretty common in the area) but is was split directly in half, kinda like a giant...
SO, watching hours of Youtube videos and listening to tips from Tnet members I took a gamble and went to a spot I studied on a Geological map of my state. Everyday I eagerly awaited the mailman like Ralphy in A Christmas Story. THEN IT CAME I couldnt get the box opened fast enough..My first...
In the early 19th century of the pacific northwest there were a few trading posts, a few settlements but nothing like the 20th century. Also during this time there was a huge surge in population, commerce and exploration. I see lumber mills, mineral exploration and trading posts being the...
You heard right, April 22, 2018 I found a nice little 14K Gold ring, my buddy Dave however found a killer 17 gram 22K Gold Coin (1976 Canadian Commemorative Coin). We both use Whites TDI S/L. It was about 5-6 inches down, a little beat up from rocks but a keep for sure.
Ran across this article today.
Pure Gold Awaits Anyone Who Recovers Michigan's Lost Mine
I look for forums on here that talk about but didn’t see any. So sorry if this was already mentioned.
Secondary question, I will only be miles away from the “lost mine” camping on the Ausable soon.
Has...
Yep, I DID find gold nuggets today ...when I purchased an old postcard album. Real California gold nuggets were taped / attached to the postcard. Just enough to get a tooth filled. I noticed them when I got home:
:tongue3:
I just picked up a rock near my house and I wonder could it be gold in quartz?? I already know what pyrite/fools gold looks like because the color is kind of light gold brownish I think.
CHAPTER IX. The Lost Mine of Tayopa.
From Along the Rio Grande; by Tracy Hammond Lewis - “A warless war correspondent” (New York: 1916)
One day late in July was bad, but in that it proved no exception to a great many other days through which El Paso had sweltered. I had spent the morning...
So, funny thing happened to me this weekend. Collected some magnetite from a backyard stream for my first go at smelting iron. (Just built my first forced air propane crucible furnace.) Used a magnate to pull the magnetite from the stream bed clay.
There I was Saturday grinding up a couple of...
Legends of Lost Mines – The Lost Pegleg - 1892
W.P.A. Mural - San Francisco
A considerable amount of romance attaches to all stories of lost mines. It could not well be otherwise, as the mines spoken of as “lost” are almost invariably in some wild region full of perils of onekind or...
Hey all,
Recently have become enamored with the lost history of New England. With much of our countries beginnings happening here, there has to be a number of war relics and lost coins to be found. I am a beginner and am looking at purchasing my first detector. Does anyone have any good solid...
Hi Guys!
It's been a while, but I'm getting back into treasure hunting ;)
I've got my White's Coinmaster up and running and my gold panning equipment, but have moved since my last postings.
We now live in the Aguanga/Anza area. Does anyone know good areas for gold panning/metal detecting...
I found this 23 gram 15k beast this summer in Vancouver. :hello2:
So happy to find it. Turns out there is a lot of Paladium in it too but only paid out for gold content unfortunately.
Im getting a lot of rain and snow out here so the rivers are all flooded. I cant get out so its this site and YouTube for now! I WANT TO SEE YOUR GOLD!! heres some of mine and my partners! :blob7:
Got to be a Charter Member to sell on TNet.
That shouldn’t be an issue, as it is only only a few dollars, and you appear to have millions in gold and raw diamonds.
This is a very eugenius marketing plan. I applaud you on your out of the box thought pattern.
Good luck Francisco.
I recently acquired the Angus Mackirk Eureka sluice and will be using it for the first time this Saturday. I am fairly new to prospecting and this will be my first time using a sluice. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos on where and how to use a sluice but would love to get some tips...
Happy New Year everyone! We were detecting at my buddies house that was built in 1851. It was a pretty slow day until I dug a wiped copper along the driveway. Working the same area I got a perfect coin signal. I thought it was going to be Silver. It was that perfect of a signal. Out pops the...
I'll post some newspaper clippings from a time period a little closer to the events than today.
Some very different perspectives.
I'll leave to our resident experts to try and separate out or explain the Adam's placer versus the Adam's Lode, the number of men in the original party, landmarks...
Some of the gold was found in the 1960s but much still remains lost. Click on the link to read the whole article.
"We took on the challenge searching for the gold. Driving down dirt roads we found the Lee cemetery and where Lee lived. A creek 300 yards from the cemetery was where some of...
I found this excerpt that I saved to my hard copy files several years ago and had forgotten about. If the $17,000 was all gold, the treasure would be valued today at over $1 million in gold melt value alone, not to mention the numismatic value of the coins if the gold was in coin form. I don't...
Swinging has been taking the back seat to football for the last 2 months. Have been out a lil here and there with regular finds but this weekend I hit it big!
Found my first ring and first gold on Friday night and I was excited. I was at practice and had an hour to kill so I went over to the...
I'm searching for information that would link my recent discovery of gold gilt buttons with the name Rich Orange Warranted on the back side ... to the 1840's fur trade and the North American Indian tribes. Evidence found thus far suggests these buttons may have been going to Bent's Fort along...
