3 Replies and 13017 Views Tips’ for Gold Panning and Prospecting in Wyoming  13017  3 Started by  Timmelko@hotmail.com I contracted gold fever recently while on Vacation this July in Cheyenne Wyoming for Frontier Days. I stopped by a little store called Diggin’ It in Cheyenne where I purchased a basic panning starter kit and a bag of pay pay-dirt to try my luck. The guy was super nice and even tried to talk me out of buying a shovel from him that he mentioned I could get cheaper at Home Depot.  I did find several little bits of gold totaling .315 Grams. It was enough to get me hooked!   Unfortu...

9 Replies and 8710 Views Why is there such a low level of Activity on the Forums?  8710  9 Started by  dixiedesertdigger@gmail.com It's dissappointing seeing so many members who have had sincere questions or made genuine offers of friendship to share their passion for Gold Prospecting to only go unanswered. We have more than 33,000 members registered here and yet such a low level of interaction and activity... It's sad! Anyways... I am pretty good at this kind of thing but very limited in knowledge. My experience is in metal detecting and mostly relic shooting up to this point. I am just now getting into Gold and nugget sho...

(Topic has multiple pages1 2 3 )
So I'm running into a issue of not being able to get the fines out of my concentrates.( I've been saving all concentrates). Quick google search I find a ton of gadgets and watzitdo's at various places, and of them worth it I saw some YouTube vids of a bearded fella classifying down the material a bunch of times then panning. Is that a better route Any insight would be helpful James

16 Replies and 16277 Views Frustrated NOOB  16277  16 Started by  byfert@yahoo.com OK I'm frustrating myself. At the moment I can only classify down to 30. When I'm panning I am seeing what I think is flour gold flowing out of my pan. I am using a Garret riffle pan. I get my concentrates very wet and swirl it around and when I look in the pan I see gold on top of the rest of the cons. When I'm panning I can watch the flakes move up the riffles and the rest of the cons stay in the pan. Could it be that what I'm seeing is mica It sure looks shiny yellow to me.  I guess I...

3 Replies and 8106 Views minecache.com  8106  3 Started by  chris@northpines.us  A friend told me about it. Seems it's an overlay for Google Earth that displays mining claims of all types. It also links to BLM's LR2000.  They have a free seven day trial and then it's a $35.00 per year per computer license. Has anybody heard of or used this I'm wondering if this might be a good investment. Thanks ------------------------------------- Chris

6 Replies and 8831 Views Can you turn a Jet Ski in to a Gold Dredge?  8831  6 Started by  carl.l.waddell@gmail.com My Son left his old Yamaha Jet ski on the side of my house and forgot about it. I am in California and cannot use a dredge yet, but was thinking that Jet Ski might make a nice dredge. Plus that will teach him not to leave things on the side of the house. So has this been done yet, and any DIY dredge plans out there.   Thank you, CW
