Nuggets, Pickers and Flakes? 6742 2
Started by y.jaron@gmail.com
Hi there fellow prospectors, it’s always been an ongoing debate. Is it a Nugget, picker or a flake I wanted to know your insight on how different sizes of gold is classified in your mind. I’m interested to hear everyone’s opinion, so let me know what you think.

Started by y.jaron@gmail.com
Im looking for the safest but most effective way to clean iron/rust staining off gold without damaging the gold surface or any quartz attached Also if it is worth doing so, or is it taking away too much of the natural look of the piece If anyone has any techniques or insight that they would be willing to share it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Be Advised: USGOLDMAPS.COM 7174 18
Started by realbillmccoy@gmail.com
Just a friendly public service announcement regarding usgoldmaps.com They make claims maps for use with Google Earth. The product looks really nice but upon receipt I discovered that their data is static and from 2013. I reached out to the Contact Us email and the response was basically, don't worry about it. Claim data doesn't change very often. Uh... I call BS Asking for a refund. Wish me luck and buyer beware.

We have concentrates. We just need someone who can extract the gold 2436 0
Started by david@ucvcfunding.com
My boss is part owner of a pretty famous gold mine and because of this we have about 50k tons of concentrate and hard rock ore left over from the exploration stage of his project. This particular ore is known to have high concentrations of gold, silver and other PGM's, but one of the issues we're having is that normal fire assays are not picking up all the gold. Much of the gold is being washed away. We need a master assayer that can extract hard to get gold through a chemical or atomic procedur...

Phone GPS in the field 12210 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...
