Dry washers, losing gold 23589 15
Started by rewipe
I got a Gold Duster dry washer that I bought used a few years ago. I'm getting ready for my gold trip and bought some bags of dirt at the Gold Show. I ran them in my dry washer and then panned the tailings and found some big flakes. What I'm I doing wrong I'm digging dirt on a mountain and classify it down to 1/4 inch and pack it down to the river and run it in my high banker. I was hoping to use the dry washer on the mountain to save me some trips up and down the mountain. I...

Sensitivity or Gain on your detector 12393 11
Started by Nugget Shooter
Hi All, Nugget Shooter's tip for today involves setting up your detector's Gain or Sensitivity.... First to those familiar with CB Radios TX Gain is more power out and RX Gain is receive, so this said all metal detectors currently used for the most part are VLF or PI and even ZVT, but all are ruled by their RF function in that if not set properly you will miss targets. So how do you set it up
Quick and simple with PI air tune to eliminate EMI and ground balance in...

Alluvial Fan tips...? 9585 14
Started by Zappster1
It seems like the majority of available claims are of the alluvial fan types. Does anybody have any prospecting tips for these particular areas It is not like there are geological markers that are easier to follow.
I am getting tired of prospecting and finding nothing but sand and sweat in these areas. I am just curious if anybody out here has any tips that might help me be a little better with my prospecting. I am not afraid of doing the labor involved to get that gold...

Crushing Quartz 29573 32
Started by Katra12
Saw an interesting Youtube video a bit ago.
Guy took a lemon sized smooth quartz stone from a gold bearing river and crushed It using a steel mallet and t-shirt. As he broke it up, he checked for gold veins and found none, but panned out the crushed rock and found what appeared to be nearly 0.5 grams of nice gold flakes.
Anyone else ever tried that with good results

DIY Bazooka gold trap stand.. 9449 2
Started by Mparramore
In the past I have had issues with setting up the Bazooka in the river. I thought there has to be an easier way. I looked online and figured that I would make a stand myself. I could drive the stakes into the river, adjust the height and angle if needed. The bungee cords hold down the Bazooka and it wont float off. I think I went over board with the wire and drilling the screws and sliding lock pieces. At least I wont lose the parts to the river. I am open to new ideas. You can use my ideas and ...

Can the uses of Gold get any better than making new jewelry trinkets or used as

Rice University has discovered a new alloy made of Gold and Titanium that is
4X stronger than most steel alloys.
The researchers say the alloy sample pretty much destroyed a diamond pestle and mortar used to crush the sample for
testing in a spectrum analyzer.

New LDMA General Forum 9720 3
Started by ewbragg
I would like to propose a new general LDMA Members Update Forum that all the LDMA members and caretakers that can post updates for camp phone, address, rules, events, discuss issues, etc. Another idea is a menu option for LDMA members to at least be able to view the LDMA camp current information. I know there are individual forums for each camp, but I think a general LDMA Forum for discussing LDMA properties, events, or issues would be beneficial to all.

What's With That Name ? 8490 1
Started by rockkingron@gmail.com
Something that is often overlooked is the names on maps and how they can help the prospector to locate likely areas to hunt. A good example of this is the colorful and strange names the 49ers gave to towns, ravines, creeks, streams, hills, and mountains where they hunted for gold. Also some of these place names have been renamed several times over the years.
One area that I hunted, I had with me an old 1890s map, a 1950s 15-min. topo map,...

Folding Sluice Box Classifier 17149 21
Started by Stumbletown Miner
Hi everybody,
I made a cheap inexpensive classifier for a folding sluice box. It's made from a $3 IKEA strainer and a Dollar Store strainer with Home Depot plexi-glass, and Epoxy.
The main reason I did this is because the folding sluice box's load up with 1/2' rocks and they stay loaded up. So 1/4' or smaller is best. My classifier is in the water so it rinses all the rocks and materials. The first grate (Grizzly) puts the bigger rocks in t...

Gold mining bucket tip 25710 26
Started by Stumbletown Miner
If you've carried a bucket full of Gold mining tools very far, like four miles up a river, then you'll like this bucket tip. A snappy grip & a closet rod bracket bolted onto the bucket to carry the Gold pan & a classifier. And in the bucket are the usual tools...small blue pan, rock hammer, crevice tool, scooper, paint brush, black sand magnet, sucker bottle, pouch with viles & tweezers, etc..

It is up to the user to know where they are and if the route they are on is open for use. They are not required to post routes as open, as the policy now is 'closed unless posted opn', ...
