No Tips - No Tricks - Just a question 3329 1
Started by Mike Davis
hmmm... Gold has existed for millions of years. Waters where gold is found today, is almost never where it was millions of years ago. So, wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that most gold is not in most current waters That it exists where you'd likely never think to look Does that mean we have to think like a gold nugget (rock) :-)

wet you pay dirt before sluicing 3378 3
Started by sergprinting@sbcglobal.net
As funny as it sounds, Gold dose float, so always wet your pay dirt before putting it in the sluice, otherwise your gold could float away and into the next persons sluice. I've learned a lot in a year! Newbie, Sergio

sluice with Miller table deep well & rubber V mat 3546 1
Started by sergprinting@sbcglobal.net
Hello all, i thought I would share this with all, I'm not pro at getting the fine gold, but I made a sluice frame that doubles as a miller table and also made a sluice with acrylic that goes on top of the miller table frame, so i made this acrylic sluice as a miller table on top with a deep well about 1/3 & the rest i put a shallow V rubber mat that slides in & out under the miller table part for easy clean out, and as you know the miller table is a great way to seperate the gold from the black...

Docs Detecting 2157 2
Started by scubajimwood@gmail.com
I read an interesting article on equipment and tools by Kevin Hoagland in GP Mag. He mentions Doc's Detecting as a source to order Bates boots and some other items. I tried the phone number on their website and just get an automated message that does not sound like a business. Does anyone do business with Docs and can you advise how I can contact them for an order Thank you.

Looking for ANY input on a small hopper. 1149 0
Started by jasewebb@me.com
Fellow Prospectors: Kind of an odd scenario going on, without going into to much detail, limiting my ability to hold and feed buckets of material into the Raptor. To keep my AU chasing dreams alive, I’m needing to come up with a clever solution. Does anyone know of a hopper set up, which I might mount over the Raptor which could feed into the destruction chamber, or something similar I usually bring material home and put it through the Raptor in my yard, so it doesn’t re...

gold hog piglet flare 2204 2
Started by randy82271@gmail.com
I bought the piglet flare a while back. No matter how i set it up i lose alot of dirt and water out of header box. Any suggestions on how to keep the dirt in the box. Ive tried all kind of angles and even turn water down to almost nothing. we usually shovel feed at a slow rate but no sooner than start dumping dirt starts coming off the back. It gets real bad if just dump a shovel and let it work down. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hello fellow prospectors. I am starting this topic in hopes of soliciting help with our claim transitioning from casual minor to small scale mining.

Newbie Question 4350 6
Started by Andrea.leigh01@gmail.com
So to introduce myself, my husband and I just moved to the central valley from the southern coast of California. In our search for things to do we've started gold panning and recently sluicing. Have talked to the guys in Jamestown and have gone out on fee based trips, watched lots of youtube, to get the hang of things and seem to be doing ok at it.... so thought we'd join this and see what else we can learn. We have kids and were looking into purchasing land to 'relax' on and not necessaril...

Gold Prospecting 31175 2
Started by mulubishaj@gmail.com
I am new to this forum but I have been reading a lot of what people have been posting. I have learnt a lot. I own a small company and we managed to acquire 2400 acres of land. Long story short, we have been finding rocks and geological deposits that point to the presence of gold and other mineral deposits in the land. I have collected samples and taken pictures of rocks, soil, land scape and I am hoping someone could look at them and help point me in the right direction.

Hello everyone,
I wanted to see what the group might recommend for breaking up caliche prior to running it through a drywasher. I was hoping for some tips that would not require purchasing large/heavy/expensive equipment. I am mostly looking for methods that would be better suited for a hike in trip.
Thanks in advance,
