Best mini-sleuce? 34158 23
Started by Jamotes@earthlink.net
What's the best mini-sleuce for a beginner for use in small creeks and streams in a state with not a lot of gold (Ohio) I looked at the Keene mini and the Bazooka mini. I want one that's packable without a lot of weight and/or size. Thanks!

Fine Flour Gold Recovery? 70776 32
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
During a dig yesterday I came across a lot of really fine flour gold, grain of sand size and smaller. I am a pretty good panner but when it comes to the really fine stuff I am struggling with the best means of recovery. I take my snuffer bottle and empty it onto a paper plate and then dry the fine stuff in the oven and I can pick most of it out with a razor and tweezers, but there is always powder gold I just cant recover.
Could somebody give me some tips on how to recover the really fi...

Metal detectors 22536 32
Started by mikeandbettyh@yahoo.com
Any input on metal detectors would be great. I am looking at buying one this year (this is the wife) I've been looking at the Garrett AT Gold, any opinions on it Any others I should be looking at in the same price range We are looking at spending about $700-$800 on one. I want one that will find gold! I know they won't find the fine stuff, but we have nuggets to use with it to learn what the sound on the detector is for gold. Thanks for any help.

To Claim or not to Claim? That is the Question. 10867 15

I was out riding in a friend's 4 wheeler, and I spotted an old Chinese rock wall on the edge of a wash, I noticed that the wash had cut away a bank about 6-10 ft tall for about 100 yrds. upstream from the Chinese rock wall. There were several layers of different size gravels all through the bank. A few days later I drove back to the wash in my PT cruiser, (not a 4 wheel drive) and with careful navigation, I made it all the way out to the wash, (approximately 6 ...

Jobe folding sluice 7740 5
Started by byfert@yahoo.com
So I went to husker and dug some dirt. Instead of panning it out in a puddle I decided to take it to a stream and set up my sluice. I have a jobe folding stream sluice. After the painstaking task of setting it up, I thought I had it set up properly. It took 2.5 hours to run 8 gallons of dirt through it. The first and 3rd riffle clogged with every scoop. I saw at least a dozen pieces of gold get trapped in the black mat before the riffles. Then get washed through the box. After cleanup I only rec...
