Crevicing the Bedrock cracks in search of Hidden Gold !!!!

This is my first year prospecting. Gold is a fickle companion in Ohio and it has been a long year learning how to pull some of the shiny stuff out of ohio rivers. I seperated some of my concentrate this weekend and out popped a few yellow specks.

Looking for a rock and mineral club/gold prospecting in or near Asheboro, NC

I've been researching geology/prospecting for nearly 10 years (I'm 26) Not much hands on experience but my research skills are top notch. First place i ever had a notion to check i found a layer of grey clay full of gemstones. After that layer, Huge chunks of quartz/quartzite, granite, schist...

I'm doing research at home to hopefully put me on a good start, does anyone know of any prospecting groups that meet up around western N.C. or other ways I can get access to a location? THANK YOU.

The water is dropping in the rivers, this grants us access to the larger gold !!!!!

Good evening from portugal. I have read a thread about prospecting in a Portuguese beach. As anyone prospected in Adiça beach?

Greetings: I am trying to develop a network of friends or group of folks who are interested in prospecting/THing/connecting in North Carolina. Please drop me a line if interested. I'd like to meet people and help others get connected. There is so much history and so many possibilities here in...

I was wanting to go out to the River to do a little Prospecting but the weather has been crazy here in Butte County this Winter. I couldn't even work on the next Prospecting video because the power kept going out. Filmed on 1-9-2019 under a Tornado warning !!! Crazy !!! Coming Soon : In...

Ok I'm building a new dredge . My question is has anyone ever thought about a double suction centrfugel pump on a dredge ? I only want one engine one pump to carry but want the power of 2 pumps. So why not a double suction centrafugal pump I ask .well as far as I can tell they don't exist in...

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...

Hey guys! Been binge watching gold prospecting videos for WAY too long, and decided to give it a go. I've gotten pretty good, but given my location, there really aren't any good places to pan for gold. My YouTube channel has more, but is not geared specifically toward prospecting...

Any NOX 600 or 800 guys or ladys out there use there NOX to find concentrations of black sand to prospect with highbanker/sluice/drywasher/dredge? it could cut down on time sampling. Or does anyone know if it can even be set to not discriminate out the black sands? I am going to get a 800 and...

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...

>be me >be 15 >be in Henry Cowell state park >have been to this spot multiple times before with my folding sluice, buckets, and digging/crevicing tools >have only found 3 tiny specs, and one almost picker so far (people say there is no gold in this river, but it's the closest river to me and I...

Hey guys I've been prospecting the San Gabriel wilderness for a while now, specifically the east fork, and I have so many ideas or thoughts and nobody to talk to about them. So, I hope y'all don't mind me tossing around ideas here ??? . Often times I find myself rambling on tangents, so I...

Hey guys so I wanted to start a new thread about an update the East Fork of the San Gabriel River in California and also about Klondikeike, the legendary old timer 'round here. I've only been seriously gold prospecting for about 3/4 weeks and the EF is my new stomping grounds, so I was hoping...

Hey guys, I only recently discovered the magic that is gold prospecting and sluicing. I live in Los Angeles and was just introduced to the East Fork of the San Gabriel River a while ago. I never really got serious about anything until about 2 weeks ago when I picked up a piece of quartz on my...

Hello everyone! Haven't been here in a while. Life.... I'm taking my 11 year old son on a road trip from Central Washington to Yellowstone, about 12 days. We'll be tent camping most of the way. I wanted to stop near Boise National Forest and then in the Idaho Falls area before we stop in...

Ive been prospecting for diamonds and boy have i been lucky. On my property.

Hi All, Looking for some contacts in Idaho. I'm from Australia and may be over there for a few weeks sometime between March and May 2017. I've been a prospector on/off for over 20 years. Latest detector used is Minelab GPX5000. I've founded several Australian exploration companies and have...

Hi, I really want to know what is the best kind of sluice I can use for lazy water. All I have is a BGT and most spots aren't strong enough. Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Ok, first of all, thx in advance for any replies. Ive been metal detecting for about 10 years (mainly parks) or so, but finally have an opportunity to devote more time to the hobby. Freshly retired military with no encumberments, so I want to give it a go with finding some gold nuggets. Like a...

G'day guys and gals, I have been working on our website, tweaking it up a bit, let me know what you think and any ideas. Cheers Russ The Bearded Prospectors TBP

Hi world, I'm new to prospecting and was wondering if anyone can link me to a couple of websites that can help me learn more about it. I'm more interested in gem's after traveling the coast of California and meeting people making and selling jewellery along the beach city's. I love the outdoors...

Who's up for gold prospecting in central iowa? I have great gear. This was found in 2 hours from a creek in grimes.

A friend and myself went out and dug some dirt in hopes of finding something heavy. We created a video of our little (9hr) adventure. If you would like to watch it and subscribe to our channel we would greatly appreciate it. It is a big long, but feel free to jump around. We had a great time...

Hello, First time poster. Me and a friend were out scouting, sampling, sifting material. We are new to the game and happy with our early results. Was curious as to what this awesome forum thought? The colors on the right were after running 2, full 5 gallon buckets of 1/2" classified material...

So excited I had to sign up and post. I was hiking near Sage/Vail Lake today, basically looking for rocks and tailings piles. I stumbled across a nice pile, then I discovered that it had a deep horizontal mine, so far that I couldn't see how far back it goes. It looked like it may have had a...

While looking up more of the local area, I came across a YouTube video of someone biking along some trails in Sycamore Canyon. I can well imagine people have had some drops and spills out there, especially if they're doing anything ultra-silly on their bikes. Lost jewelry and coins are pretty...

Howdy all! I figured I would make my first post a good one. I live right near Mt. Rubidoux, within easy walking distance. A while back (months ago,) I had decided I would go out to the riverbed side of the mountain and go do some dry panning (actually any panning) for the first time near the...

Well not every prospecting video can go to plan can it? Here's a blooper video when I was trying to describe how a manual gold pump is made and works, I go to retrieve some material as an example and the thing falls apart in the shaft hahaha, thankfully it was my last day there so coped the...
