Back to basics

just a couple of tips if u r starting out on this journey we call being a prospector..

Prospecting Tips

Gold prospecting is a lot of fun even if you don’t find any gold. But we can almost assuredly help you with these tips from an seasoned prospector as well as a few fresh ones
1.Choose an area that has been productive with gold in the past – chances are there still is some gold there
2.Study geology and mining records. Many lightly explored places exist in the back country. In fact this is when the real fun comes with adventure. If you are prepared to do some backcountry searching a prospecting trip can be rewarding and you might find some gold.
3.Placer deposit is a concentration of natural material that has accumulated in the unconsolidated sediments of a stream bed. Heaviness and resistance to corrosion make gold an ideal substanceto accumulate in placer deposits.
4.Panning is the simplest method of separating the gold from the silt, sand, and gravel of the stream deposits. It is the method most commonly used by the beginning prospector.

Most importantly, go out and have fun. Enjoy the great outdoors and what nature gives you, in gold, or in adventure.

Yeah, start with the basics, enjoy the bush and find a little gold. But if you want to find heaps of gold and bank the money and pay off all your debts then study geology and mining reports on many areas, study your manual and learn how to use your detector like your studying for a degree. Become a student and work on your detecting and digging efficiency to cover more ground. Detect with others and learn the settings people are using and compare signal responses with friends on undug targets. Have all the mining databases and mapping software on your desktop and become very competent using them. Research areas well and put long hours in detecting. But if you just want to get out there and detect and find a little gold and slowly improve and learn that's cool.
