gold

Hi, I'm new here as you can tell. I have had the 'bug' for a few decades now, ever since I was a kid living on the outskirts of Vegas finding rose quartz rocks in the deserts... Anyway, I've landed in Mn, and have taken to the idea that I might actually find something of interest around here...

So I have found what I think is a pretty good bunch of Quartz with lots of minerals and ore in it. I am sending samples off to be analyzed, but it looks like everything from pyrite to copper, to silver and gold. I am in the process of crushing it, but am not sure what to do next. So far I have 5...

So I have been looking over these forums over the past week or two because obviously I have grown a curiosity in metal detecting. What brought me to this was a somewhat new ambition to collect old coins. So I am looking to get an entry level MD. I have looked over all the posts of other people...

Just got my membership to the GPAA, and found out there is a mine that is less than 10 minutes from my house that I now have access to, how cool is that. The area was a pretty good gold bearing area, but it looks like I will be doing a lot of dry washing. I am new to prospecting in general and...

Hey everyone. The year started off a bit late for me because the weather took forever to turn! I've been hitting the parks and I found 2 14k items at one park! The pendant/chain is weird though... it seems far more corroded than any gold item I've ever seen. when I accidentally scratched it...

Can anyone recommend a decent Assayer? I live in Montana. I am a newbie and have no plans to be a full time prospector, but do want to spend a fair amount of time in the field. I have found some promising looking quartz in an area I plan to work. It looks to me to have pyrite, copper, and...

What treasure does this quartz contain? I think I see Pyrite, copper, gold, and perhaps silver. There is more where this came from, a lot more, is it worth prospecting?

Hey all, I am a newbie to this site and the whole prospecting thing in general. I am a 45 year old disabled veteran, and have taken up prospecting with my 8 year old son, who is a real rock hound. I live in Montana so opportunities abound here. Right now we are doing a little panning and some...

Long before I got my metal detector I was walking in my grandparents woods and noticed a broken rusty car. Inside that car were 5 califorinia gold coins I think 3 were tokens and 1 was real the other one was dropped I can not go and metal detect the dropped one because the place is 10 hours by...

I think I may have cleaned out the local soccer field over the last two weeks. In past months I found 2 gold bands there and now over the last 2 weeks I've found 3 more pieces of gold and silver jewelry. Two rings and a pendent. The small ring is sterling 3.5g, the big ring is a sterling band...

I just found my first marked gold ring. Of course with my luck it was also the Smallest Ring Ever Made LOL!!! Found it off the beach in the freezing water. It's too bad its so tiny, but I am still happy to have found it.

Hello everybody, I just joined the forum after being a long time lurker. After only 2 months with the detector, I scored my very first piece of gold :headbang: Looks to be a 14kt men's wedding band. There's no name on the inside, but I'm not sure if I should keep it cause it's my first gold ever...

I went to the East Fork river today, this little "picker" was on my rubber mat riffles. I dumped some dirt on it and it didn't budge, so I grabbed it. There were some flakes on the mat every bucket I sluiced, so I am a little excited to pan my concentrates tomorrow. If I find anything good, I...

So after a ton of rock crushing with a pos-thammer and heavy prybar, i decided to do the Google Patents and look at rock crushers, I also looked at buying a 800$ rock crusher. After all of this I decided to build one (took 3 days of goofing off in the garage)! Items: 1. 1947 3" Irrigation...

I found this in a turn of the century (19th to 20th) book about prospecting and mining. The author suggests a troop of “Buffalo” (Negro) solders (I’m assuming they were cavalry – they well may have been infantry) found and then lost the Lost Adams Diggings. Unfortunately, the author uses...

Does anyone have any idea how to rid a cave of rattlesnakes? I found a small cave that is infested with them. From my flashlight beam there are several dozen of them in the cave. The cave is about 4' wide and 5' tall and about 20' deep (horizontally) and there are a few small ledges about 2'...

Went out saturday with a buddy of mine and his wife to hit up his grandmothers yard. She said the house was built in either the 1920's or 1930's. He said he went one time before for just a few minutes before dark and found a couple wheat pennies so we was hopeful and waiting for the nice weather...

I found some flakes is an area that I did not expect to find any traces of gold & I wanted to test it to see if it was real, so I dumped some hydrochloric acid on one of the flakes in a shot glass, waited a couple minutes, swirled it around a bit, waited about 10 minutes total, swirled some...

I bought a bag of dimes to go through today. The manager was nice enough to pull it off of the machine early for me today before it was full ($857). In going through it I found three silver dimes. Two were Roosies (1960 + 1964), and the other was a Merc with the date so worn that it is difficult...
