Anyone Mining Gold in Alabama?

you may want to google Alabama gold camp and over on yahoogroups search for bama these are two site that are about Craigsford Alabama on the mid-eastern side of bama. TSK.TSK.TSK, TAKODA you didnt fool anyone!:):)
 

TOKADA, Shame on you for misleading Cappy. :o
Now you know dang well there is gold in Alabamy. :tongue3:
Why, LSU found some there just last night. ::) :laughing9:
 

Good morning Gold Fever Anonymous Members...

Graycloud, I watched the game. I was expecting at any moment big plays. The game ended up as a Defensive battle. I'm sitting here eating my second piece of pumpkin pie and thinking about the Bowl Games...

Making a long story short...I think eastern Alabama just might be a place to research etc. The gold areas are almost on the same topographical level as Dahlonega Georgia.
 

Cappy, You may very well be right. My suggestion would be to get with TOKADA and get him to show you where his Honey Hole is. ::) Some of those local boys are keeping a low profile and I don't blame them. :thumbsup:
 

I've got a slight fever...lol... Thanks for the info. Has/does anyone here use a Retort? to get the gold out of the rock dust? And if so so you wear a really good mask?
 

retorts are not for getting gold out of rock dust . but are used for burning off and recovering mercury .when used properly they are very effective ,and safely catch the fumes(mercury in it's gaseous state) -in water (not the atmosphere). most people do not use mercury for recovering gold ,but do find gold from time to time that has mercury on it . it does occur naturally -it is best to keep any gold tainted with mercury separate , as it will spread . when you have enough saved up - then retort safely to clean the gold ,recover mercury ----- then properly contain , and or dispose of.

Thanks Strickman. How does one 'process' gold bearing rock? I've read where it is crushed?

You selfish little Leprechaun... :wink:
 

Allen, can I go and bring my gold bug ?
 

In reference to your origional question, I understand there is an exploratory mine in cental Alabama. They are using a citrus leaching agent. A commercial mine has to meet MSHA regulations as well as ADEM water standards. I am going to the Blue hill mine Saturday also. Taking my highbanker and metal detector.
 

Check out Blue and Chesnut creeks,also try Cleburne,Tallapoosa and Randolph counties,in Alabama. :thumbsup:
 

thanks, let me see what I can do .Did want to take a trip to the club property .Might not have the time .Still want to try out the 4".
