I broke off a piece of rock that even my hand metal detector would activate on.  I crushed the rock and got silver metal flakes after I pan the pulverized rock. It does not seem to be rust colored.  It did not melt to easy with a hand torch.   Any clue how to tell what the metal is     I'll post a picture of my pan on my p...

2 Replies and 2465 Views Gold Trails on KDOC - L.A. area?  2465  2 Started by  jlocke1970@att.net Any idea what happened to Gold Trails on KDOC (channel 56, Los Angeles area) So here is the deal.... I finally get all the friends and family to either watch or record Gold Trails on Saturday mornings and then it is no longer on! Anybody have any idea what happened to it I know they were all 'reruns' but many of the people that I turned on to it had not seen them all. Heck, I enjoy re-watching them myself. I think Gold Trails is an excellent tool to pique the interest of people that may b...

4 Replies and 6187 Views Mary Ann claim in South Dakota  6187  4 Started by  gkuhl@huntel.net   Went up to the Black Hills over the weekend. Just wondering if we were in the right place. Does the Mary Ann claim have a bike trail going through it with a place that looks like a drop off/pick up place for bikers or just to park and look around It also had some buildings on it from an old town. And a restroom. We didn't do any panning because we didn't know if we were in the right place. I hope we were looks like a nice place. Looked for markers but couldn't find any.

5 Replies and 6992 Views GPAA claim  6992  5 Started by  dino@gcrwyo.com There is a gpaa claim near where I live. I have read the forest service regulations. The regs state that within the entire forest, the season starts July 1st due to fish spawning. Without contacting the forest service I am curious whether I have rights to metal detect and use a recirculating mini highbanker. The regulations are very vague and shorten my season. Just seems like another government nipple telling me what to do when, where, and how. If you have experience with what is acceptab...

2 Replies and 3191 Views Forest Fires and gold  3191  2 Started by  worldavi@gate.net I was thinking of the probability of gold nuggets forming over the years of successive forest fires in a particular mineral rich surface environment. The mixture of carbon and the heat from the fire, possibly causing smaller micron particles to melt and enjoin with other localized particles. Or the fires causing resident nuggets to reshape via melting. Years and years of this process seems like it could have an effect or at least cause invisible gold to be leached/or change state.
