Trying to Identify 2456 1
Started by worldavi@gate.net
I found a exposed ledge that had this type of material and I am trying to identify with out yet going to an assay office. Well at least until I get more samples of other materials to make it worth the min. charge. It is very decomposed and I was thinking it might be ore containing silver sulfides. From what I been reading, there are many forms that silver can be locked into. I found this in the Pershing County, Nevada area that is know for silver mining. This piece I saved whole, ...

Sluice box filling up quickly 7037 3
Started by dsnewsom
I recently headed out for my first trip with a sluice box. I bought one that has a built in classifier in the neck. I noticed that my riffles were filling very quickly with pebbles. Do I need more water Do I need to ditch that classifier and use something smaller What could I be doing wrong

Black sand deposits 3817 1
Started by dirtdigger
I've dredged sand and pea gravel for road construction and have ran into black sand 'rivers' a few times over the years. The 'rivers' have always been between 5-10 ft from the surface after removing the overburden. I've worked 9 to15' dredges and left 5 to 10ft sheer face walls where Black Sand deposits can be viewed vertically. We always pumped the material because we could not determine how far the 'Black Sand...

Mat-Su Valley Alaska prospecting 9857 2
Started by DarrinKehler
I'm relatively new to the gold prospecting but have a pretty good grasp on technique. It helps I grew up in a rock hound family. I live just below Hatcher's Pass in Wasilla Alaska. I have tinkered up on the Little Sue but have not had much success. Only a frog fart of fairy dust. Any suggestions to areas up there would be appreciated. More to my reason for this post. I have been looking at claim maps and other information regarding the Knik Glacier valley. Friday Creek in particular. I see two c...

filling in holes 6364 7
Started by seveneyes
I have been a GPAA member for a year now and just extended my membership for 2 more years. I have only been to a couple of claims so far. One I found 4 grams on and a couple nice pickers. The other I managed around 10 different test pans all with zero gold so I left early. Anyway, I cant seem to wrap my mind around the idea of filling in holes. If all holes are filled back up, then how is anyone to know what has or hasn't been dug already Maybe I am not very politically correct on environmental...
