    Patch Finding Techniques?

    DWT calls it hour glass effect , gold path is similar. Just because there's no gold in 100 mtrs doesn't mean the next 100 mtrs isn't rich .always dig down if you hit gravel at 2 / 4 inches your closer to the gold . :)Dr Good advice but may I suggest using a GPS to stay at the same elevation...

    How long till your first (nugget).

    Got a GPX 5000, was fortunate to go out with a real pro as I had no experience on the 5k. In one hr he had 8, I had none, listen again he said do you hear it? Frustrated I listened again, went out and heard that sweet lilting warble, dug down and got a dirty brownish red pebble, popped it in my...

    After you get all the visible gold out of the black sand, heat it out side in a cast iron frying pan until it is almost red then dump in cold water, this is called cracking and it will liberate any gold that was combined up with the sand. Do this out side in case there is mercury present in the...

    Which pan do you use and why

    I use the Garrett Super Sluice, nice wide bottom that lets you process material quickly. Most newbies buy too small of a pan and it becomes difficult to keep the material flowing in the right direction.

    What To Look For On The Goldfields (New To Prospecting)

    To me gold is gold and I will take it as it comes, big, little, medium all good stuff. I just know I will be spending more time on the big, little faint signals this year with more coil changes and a vlf sweep to satisfy my curiosity. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Someone on another...

    What To Look For On The Goldfields (New To Prospecting)

    Great info. I agree about the smaller and larger gold being there, the solution is a change of coils and different approaches, chaining etc. I am also contemplating a vlf to use as a sweeper after the 5000 and possibly a Falcon MD 20 to check for anything worth dry blowing. I pounded a spot in...
