Classifying for the Gold Cube 1249 6
Started by garrick.olsen@me.com
Hello, I’m a new prospector working in an area that primarily has small flakes. I’m usually working tailings piles or areas that have otherwise been processed by heavy equipment in some fashion, so not really expecting to find nuggets or larger pickers. My question is how far should I classify my concentrates prior to running them through the Gold Cube Currently I run them through 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 wet. The smaller mesh gets me more material per bucket but I wonder if it’s worth the ...

Good Furnace for Melting 546 1
Started by jschwarzmann21@gmail.com
Hey Ya'll, I am looking to get a furnace to help process my metals easier before I use my mini-jewlers torch and start making homemade jewlery/art. I obtain a lot of scrap electronics, metal alloy's, silver/gold plated items, brass, etc so I am looking for something I can set to a specific temperature and it will stick there so I can remove 'the junk'/slag off the top. I will be getting different crucibles for different refining stages (and I am very familiar and have done chemical meth...

Mining Relic's of the Mother lode 554 0
Started by smithsgold@aol.com
https://youtu.be/139UoRP5_Cc There are relic's from the California Gold Rush all over the State. The pictures in the video are from Grass Valley to Beckwourth and just about every camp or village in between. When Gold was discovered in California in 1848 it started a mass expedition to the territory in search of great wealth. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the video I just love visiting the Historic mining towns and sites .

Gold cube 48211 36
Started by minermikey
I am looking at the Gold Cube and I am wondering which combo works best There is the Cube with the Classifier Plate or the Cube with the Desert Fox Trommel. I am more interested in the quality of processed material than the quantity of material processed although quantity is a factor. If anybody has used the Desert Fox I would like their input as to its performance and durability, especially when it is with the Gold Cube.

Miller Table Setup Help 18101 7
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
I just won a Jimbo's Gold Miller Table kit, including pump. Tried contacting him through his website and have heard nothing back in a couple of weeks. No instructions are included, but I figured out the assembly from the slide show on his site.
Looking to find an initial setup as far as flow and angle to run it at. Any thoughts are welcome, as this will be first experience with one.

vehicle recommended for prospecting 49138 22
Started by j_pavli@hotmail.com
Hello all, I guess this is the best place to ask this question. I am going back to prospect some of the areas I have been researching by map. I just wonder what your opinion is on vehicles to go into the desert and mountainous regions of arizona. I had rented a suv last time and was leery of some of the sandy washes i encountered. I was going to rent a jeep wrangler if for nothing else but for it's tires and ground clearance. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey there fellow prospectors. My wife got me membership for Christmas and Im in the midst of planning a few trips to some of the local claims. It dawned on me that I will probably need something that will be able to tell me my current location. I want to avoid inadvertently digging on property that I don't have any access to. With that being said, can any one out there recommend a modestly priced, handheld GPS that is able to cache loations/coordinates, provide a map and has way point to way...

Gold Cube vs Blue Bowl 41659 35
Started by fritzj8@yahoo.com
Which do you think is better at recovering
fine gold, the Gold Cube or Blue Bowl and why I have owned and used
the Blue Bowl for several years now, and can really appreciate how much fine
gold it recovers. However, I don't like the fact you need to wash your
concentrates first or else the water gets really cloudy, which makes it very
hard to see what you are doing. This process can take a lot of time and
water to accomplish. Unfortunately, I have only use...

Where to sell Antique Equipment 16691 4
Started by bjlcbarr
My Dad was a collector of antique mining equipment 40-50 years ago. His yard is practically a museum of 100 year old rock crushers, small gas engines, miners picks, etc. He also has some antique assay equipment like button molds, crucible and scales. I have decided it needs to sell to pay for his assisted living. What is the best magazine or online marketplace for selling this stuff There used to be a couple of annual mining equipment shows years ago. I couldn't find info online. Thanks
