YouTube channel AureumAureus 237 0
Started by victor@jans.id.au
This sad pandemic is the time to minimize contacts - being in nature or staying at home. To relief these days I opened up my YouTube channel containing gold videos of the last 5 years. My videos tell stories about gold prospecting in Europe and Canada (US to follow!). While traveling to gold fields around the world I research their rich gold history. This research I weave into my videos. Those iPhone videos are by far perfect. I produced them for my personal souvenirs. Maybe they might entertai...

Creek next to house 1080 5
Started by Joshuar90@yahoo.com
funny story I been doing small trips to other claims and been out of luck. Last weekend I took my kid out to try his banjo pan out at a creek right across the street from my house. Ended up pulling 8 small nuggets just the hour we where there. Now every day after I drop kids off I take the baby and get a bucket of gravel out of the creek and been getting a few flakes every time. Even a shovel head that was 3 feet under the gravel and some square nails when I used my brother in laws metal detecto...

Texas Gold (yeah, Texas) 11500 11
Started by Gold_Hogster
Went to the round Rock GPAA spring outing on the Llano River. We have always got a few specks by just punching a few holes here and there but this year I learned to 'read' the river. Used google earths history and saw the river when it was flooded, and the gravel bars that formed in the following years. It pays to do the research.
Heres the gold on the scale. For Texas, this is like the motherload

Hi, We are looking into a summer trip to Alaska that would include some sightseeing, possibly fishing and of course prospecting.

This would be a short trip of about a week starting in Anchorage but would like chance of some chunky gold for the prospecting portion of the trip. I have looked at Alaska Gold and Resort and Alaska Gold Prospecting but would love to hear other suggestions and experience. Thanks. -S...

New Claim Pics 656 5
Started by elmo991200@gmail.com
Met with a landowner today and was granted access to over a 1/4 mile of bedrock exposed creek. Took a few test pans and didnt find any black sands. Pretty dry but has deep pools everywhere. Lots of super mineralized rock and quartz/round gravel bars everywhere, really looking forward to taking my pick and shovel(the tools, not the magazine and paper lol) back with me and seeing what i can find. Looks super promising tho. Thoughts

Two Pieces of Flour Gold -- Keep Looking? 1229 3
Started by theasthmatics@aol.com
For fun, and to do a bit of testing/fine-tuning, I ran some material on a relative’s ranch in southern Utah. It was fairly compact cobble, and I ran about 10 buckets, of which there was probably 2 buckets of dirt. I wasn’t anticipating anything other than maybe iron and lead to help me gauge if I things were working. Instead, I was surprised by two iddy-biddy pieces of flour gold. I researched as much as I could, and I can’t find any indication that there is known/prospect...

Garbage on claims 8523 4
Started by j_pavli@hotmail.com
Hello all, I was recently near one of our claims in Arizona and was a little taken back by the amount of trash that was around. I don't believe it was any of our members trash. I could have filled a garbage truck if I had one. It was sad to see that amount in a wilderness area. What surprised me the most wasn't just one area. Anyone else encounter large amounts of garbage.
