Sluicing Idaho - Elmore County 3172 2

I'm planning a trip to the Boise Gold Claim in Idaho, and I was wondering what the best size classifier would be for the gold in that area. I plan on doing some regular ol' sluicing. Thanks, Richard

Phone GPS in the field 12333 14
Started by joe@jas-gold.com
A lot of people think you need Wi-Fi to use a cell phone GPS in the field.
That is not true if the app will download maps 'GPS Waypoints Navigator' for android will do that.
In fact I recommend you turn off Wi-Fi and Data to conserve your Phone battery. If left on the phone keeps checking for a connection and will drain the battery in no time. I have a couple of old phones I keep around just for the GPS.
I have some 1000 plus waypoints on my phone. I mark and label ev...

club claims and or your own? 37096 3
Started by j_pavli@hotmail.com
I was just wondering how many of the members here go strictly club claims or have their own in addition. I would think if you have your own piece of the pie you would be too busy to even bother with the club claims. Heck for that matter you probably don't even post here except for entertainment value Eh

Mining claims on GPS 18762 5
Started by mtbassman@msn.com
Hi guys. I don’t know how many of you uses your GPS for accessing claims but I emailed onX maps here in Montana because they make land ownership software for your Garmin. I asked them if they could make a layer in their program with mining claims. They responded that if enough people asked for it they would make it! So if you could go to onXmaps.com and go to support and contact them about this layer, maybe we could get them to do this. I know it would be really handy in the field for knowi...

Ok, I have just started within the last year or so when it comes to panning and prospecting, I’m gojng to throw some ideas out there from my experiences. 1. Start basic gear wise, a couple of classifiers and a good garret or GPAA ridged / gravity pan. 2. Watch a TON of YouTube videos!! There is a load of great ones with prospecting basics and pan working etc (I will also be doing my own videos soon!) watch a mix of types.

diamond prospecting 3932 0
Started by rrhobdy@yahoo.com
Now that I am retired, I took up the hobby of diamond prospecting. It uses the same equipment as gold prospecting and very easy to do in some of the most beautiful scenery there is. If you want to start, try Crater of Diamonds first, where you will get to learn about diamonds. Then read up on the internet on where there are diamonds to be found elsewhere in the USA. I prefer Colorado and Wyoming which has a history of finds. There is an old saying: ' If you want to ...

Panning practice at home 16346 3
Started by 17CCRAMER@GMAIL.COM
My father taught me this. You get some dirt in your gold pan (a normal pan full ) then you put about 10-15 steel BBs into the dirt and mix it in. The steel BBs are not as heavy as gold but heavier than the dirt. Pan normally until you get your 'concentrates' and see how many BBs are left in the pan. This is a good way to see how much gold you are losing when panning also. My father was a professional gold miner for big companies in California and Nevada. His hobby was prospecting. If y...

weighing gold 14532 5
Started by dsabbo@sbcglobal.net
I have an old vial with a small amount of gold in it. I would like to weigh the gold to see just how much is in there. I just bought a small digital scale but now I'm wondering just how to weigh only the gold. I can weight an empty vial, but not the amount of water unless it is still mixed in with the gold. Now, somewhere and long ago, I read an article about just how to do this, but I can't remember where or when or how. Any suggestions as to how or where I might have read about th...

What Classifier Sizes 27472 8
Started by civilian_again@yahoo.com
I am looking at getting more classifiers. I have the 2 (1/2') and 8 (1/8') mesh classifiers by Keene. I am going to use a 100 for (Blue Bowl and Miller Table). What sizes do you feel are best to add before the 100 mesh or can I just go from the 8 straight to the 100 My concern is having to much to dig through, in the classifier, if I make a big jump like this. Thanks
