Equipment 1971 2
Started by anthony.ingersoll2@outlook.com
I have been prospecting for a bit with just a gold pan, classifiers and the like. I now have decided that it is time to add some more equipment to the arsenal. I have been going through various youtube videos dealing with the blue bowl versus the miller table and the spiral wheel. However, the reviews seem like they are split down the middle 50/50. So my question is this; which one would you recommend and why Also, in regards to the videos; if you could post some links so I can check them out, ...

New Report from Colorado 1738 0
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I went down with the BLM to our claim,'I call the walk into hell is easy, it's much harder to find your way out.' But if you want to find the good gold then you travel where most won't. Once you get there you realize it is paradise. River conditions were awful, feet higher then just a few week ago and the head of the river and snow are forming a glacier that is going to break loose at some point this summer, the main melt has not even started as of yet. I am going to give a serious compl...

How do I evaluate a ledge or out-cropping of quartz? 2691 3
Started by ki6rcm98@gmail.com
I found a ledge or out-cropping of quartz and would like to evaluate it. It is in El Dorado county, Ca and is over-grown with a lot of brush and poison oak. It appears to be either half buried boulders or an outcropping that is exposed in a small gulch. I have a Garrett AT-Gold and a pin pointer. Can I scan the quartz with either of these to see if any gold is present I also have a sniper coil for the AT-Gold which I could try. Once I clear the brush I'm planning to scrape and brush the m...
