Crushing Quartz 66848 34
Started by ompomelet@gmail.com
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

Someone stole my cargo trailer full of my mining and camping equipment out of my back yard. 2- 2' Harbor freight water pumps, 1- 1' Honda water pump, 4 stack Gold Cube, 1- Gold Buddy Highbanker Dredge combo, 1- Gold Magic Spiral wheel, Hoses and tons of other stuff. A home built trommel that's one of a kind. If you see some of this stuff come up on line in Oregon or Washington area please let me know.

The gold was Supposed to be there according to the indicators. 14897 4
Started by guy@guydewhitney.org
I just got back. A spot too far downstream from a gold source can have virtually all of the nice indicator rocks and amazing looking gravel bars and still not have an appreciable amount of gold because gold is 5 times heavier than anything else in the river except platinum. So there will be a bottom edge of nice prospects that fail to pan out If you have found wonderful indicators but little or no gold it would be well to work further and further upstream. Unless you reach a point where the i...

No Tips - No Tricks - Just a question 10352 1
Started by Mike Davis
hmmm... Gold has existed for millions of years. Waters where gold is found today, is almost never where it was millions of years ago. So, wouldn't it be reasonable to believe that most gold is not in most current waters That it exists where you'd likely never think to look Does that mean we have to think like a gold nugget (rock) :-)

wet you pay dirt before sluicing 10523 3
Started by Sergio Ramirez
As funny as it sounds, Gold dose float, so always wet your pay dirt before putting it in the sluice, otherwise your gold could float away and into the next persons sluice. I've learned a lot in a year! Newbie, Sergio

Started by Sergio Ramirez
Hello all, i thought I would share this with all, I'm not pro at getting the fine gold, but I made a sluice frame that doubles as a miller table and also made a sluice with acrylic that goes on top of the miller table frame, so i made this acrylic sluice as a miller table on top with a deep well about 1/3 & the rest i put a shallow V rubber mat that slides in & out under the miller table part for easy clean out, and as you know the miller table is a great way to seperate the gold from the black...

Docs Detecting 9208 2
Started by scubajimwood@gmail.com
I read an interesting article on equipment and tools by Kevin Hoagland in GP Mag. He mentions Doc's Detecting as a source to order Bates boots and some other items. I tried the phone number on their website and just get an automated message that does not sound like a business. Does anyone do business with Docs and can you advise how I can contact them for an order Thank you.

Looking for ANY input on a small hopper. 3862 0
Started by jasewebb@me.com
Fellow Prospectors: Kind of an odd scenario going on, without going into to much detail, limiting my ability to hold and feed buckets of material into the Raptor. To keep my AU chasing dreams alive, I’m needing to come up with a clever solution. Does anyone know of a hopper set up, which I might mount over the Raptor which could feed into the destruction chamber, or something similar I usually bring material home and put it through the Raptor in my yard, so it doesn’t re...

gold hog piglet flare 9283 2
Started by randy82271@gmail.com
I bought the piglet flare a while back. No matter how i set it up i lose alot of dirt and water out of header box. Any suggestions on how to keep the dirt in the box. Ive tried all kind of angles and even turn water down to almost nothing. we usually shovel feed at a slow rate but no sooner than start dumping dirt starts coming off the back. It gets real bad if just dump a shovel and let it work down. Any ideas would be appreciated.

So to introduce myself, my husband and I just moved to the central valley from the southern coast of California. In our search for things to do we've started gold panning and recently sluicing. Have talked to the guys in Jamestown and have gone out on fee based trips, watched lots of youtube, to get the hang of things and seem to be doing ok at it.... so thought we'd join this and see what else we can learn. We have kids and were looking into purchasing land to 'relax' on and not necessaril...
