Crevice Detecting Yuba River Gold Nuggets 506 0
Started by smithsgold@aol.com
https://youtu.be/DUBy1-CFycU Me and Gary TwoToes head to the hills in his Jeep Rubicon to search for Gold Nuggets along the Yuba River. I'm going to concentrate on looking for Bedrock with crevices in it where those Placer Gold Nuggets like to hide. I'm using my Minelab SDC 2300 to check all the Bedrock for any targets that might have moved around during the recent high water from this winters storms. It's always good to get out of the valley and the Mosquitoes this time of year...

Paydirt 2218 1
Started by anthony.ingersoll2@outlook.com
I am sure that we all know what paydirt is and how it works. Many times, I have seen people go crazy over the paydirt because they do not get dollar for dollar in the gold. I have often said that if you want gold dollar for dollar then you just need to go and buy gold bars, nuggets, or coins. However, with that being said there are benefits to the use of paydirt. I do buy paydirt on a fairly regular basis. There are a couple of major reasons that I do this. The first reason is to keep up on t...

Stamp mill fines 1135 2
Started by rocdoc888colorado@gmail.com
I have some stamp mill fines from Blackhawk, Colorado. After screening them, I ran a few scoops with my gold pan. I'm seeing some very fine gold as well as some dark gray material (not black sands) which is heavier than the gold. I was thinking galena (lead ore), but although lead is heavier than gold on the periodic table, galena is less dense. Any idea what the dark gray material is and any suggestions on how to separate it from the gold Thanks for any information you provide.

The 2014 GPAA Guide (Lastest version, I believe) lists Angeles National Forest near Azusa California as Public Land on which prospectors can pan or sluice for gold. However, upon visiting the website for that national forest, I find this statement:
'All mining operations (location of mining claims, prospecting, and mining, including panning, sluicing, and dredging) under the 1872 Mining Law are prohibited within withdrawn areas of the Angeles National Forest. Public Law No. 57...
