gold

Met up with TrinityAu today for a little MD'ing. :) Today I met up with TrinityAu for the first time, been meaning to do it for a while now and glad that I did. :) Ray was helping me figure out my GB Pro a bit more and about the geology and mining history in the area that we were hunting...

I currently have the Fisher F2, a great beginner MD that even scored me a gold ring at the beach. We are starting to visit the beach more and I want to be in the water where the real treasures are. I mostly coin hunt at local parks and recreational facilities. I was looking at the Garrett AT...

It's only 10k and the center stone, whatever it was, is gone, but there are a few of the little ones remaining. Woot!

Just a quick question... When mining in a river, should I dig deeper in the river to get gold or should I stay on top of the surface and move around more?

White's Surfmaster Modification :hello2: Finally I finished my metal detector Surf. Very, very pleased with him. I want to thank you and everyone who helped me to finish it. I put on youtube to see. Thank you very,very much ! Denis! :wave:

Heya everyone; I finally bought a metal detector last weekend, a Fisher Gold Bug Pro. I may have said that I was not going to buy anything from Fisher because of some things I had heard about their customer service but I changed my mind thanks to the helpful words from TrinityAu. :) All I can...

Anyone ever try panning on the White pRiver near Indianapolis. I've found a spot and it reminds me of Colorado. It's a fast current and contains ALOT of boulders and rocks. Anyone ever pan the river??

I have a homemade sluice box but where I prospect, there is a lot of flour gold and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to make a flour gold recoverer?

I was wondering if anyone has tried panning in the white river, Indiana. If you have, have you had success?

Imagine how you would feel if you knew there was an iPad hidden somewhere across the street? How about an authentic 500-year-old coin from a sunken galleon? What if you knew within walking distance a new car was waiting to be found? That’s what TreasureBug is all about; adding a modern twist to...

Hi All! I was doing a little digging in the back yard which is about 80% white quartz. I live right along Rock creek in Maryland. It Looks Like Gold To Me! But I would like to get an expert opinion. I wish the pictures were better but this is what I got.

I bought a watch for $5.00 at a rummage sale and these clips were attached to the watch. The watch itself wasn't gold. Their for a ladies watch. I usually see turquoise set in sterling, so this was a nice surprise. The clips are stamped 14k with makers mark "SG". They are yellow gold. Does...

Heya everyone; A local guy with the Shasta Miners Club is selling his Minelab Eureka Gold, it comes with a couple extra's like a set of black widow headphones, the bag and a Coiltek All Terrain Coil. We settled on about 15 grams of gold and a small specimen for it, spot is about $852 today and...

Heya everyone; So today I got to play with a Keene A52 sluice box. I only ran 1 bucket of material and some of it was overburden from sniping. It seems like I caught all of the gold that I put through as I didnt see anything more after the half way mark on the sluice. I wanted to ask, how...

Hey guys, after about a year or searching and panning and sluicing and sniping...lol I finally found my first flake/nugget picker. it is about a quarter of an inch by a quarter of an inch! I gave up on trying to find gold from the shore so I went to my local dive shop and got a wetsuit...

Thread closed due to age. :D This was platinum, and I sold it. :) Heya everyone; Question: Platinum or Silver or Other? I found a small silver nugget today that I think may be Platinum. I think it is right around 1/2 gram +/- and when I drop it in water it falls just as fast as gold. I...

There has been two dowsing hits on this image. They were close to each other but not real close. One hit ore and one hit coins. So I am asking for a third opinion. I would suspect there would be silver ore in this area but the two prior hits said gold. I would even be happy with meteorites...

Heya everyone; I have found a lot of little silver slugs that are heavy and very flexible over the last month and a half while underwater sniping. These bits are ALWAYS with gold and I usually toss them aside though I have brough a few bits home. If you break/bend one in half it is silver...

Heya everyone; We were back in our spot today doing some more underwater sniping when I found a large quartz vein that had been broken up a bit. It looks like it is Ribbon Quartz because of all the pockets and being able to be broken easily. I can see the gold but I think there might be silver...

Hi All, My son and I have just started searching for gold in idaho. We have found some gold and these little flake certainly look like gold.. no doubt. However, in another small creek near our house we have found a good amount of orange, very fine material. This stuff appears to be of...

I Found this Pan at an Estate Sale. Not sure if its Real or Faked. Seems to be one solid piece of metal, not sure what kind but it is magnetic. Im pretty sure it is not hand shaped because the edges are curved under and really nice and neat. I have my own theory about it if it is real (such as...

Heya everyone; I have been thinking about buying a pump to help blow overburden away while underwater sniping. I got the OK from Fish & Game today, they said as long as I am not sucking material in and just using the force of the water to blow overburden away that I would be fine. So now I...

Heya Everyone; Brand new to the forums and about 3 weeks new to underwater sniping. I have tried panning several times as a kid and prospecting is rich on both sides of my family though I NEVER had any luck at it. I only ever found a few specs of micro gold, would get frustrated and run off to...

I have a collection of British Sovereigns dating from 1899 to 1973 (obviously not the years they stopped making sovereigns!) All are 22k gold and are in excellent shape (close to uncirculated). I am trying to find values for them, but there are no places near me that deal with anything except...

I'm trying to find out some values for some old british 22k gold sovereigns. I have 15 loose sovereigns varying in date from 1899 to 1973, and 2 set in 9k gold cufflinks (coins were not damaged). All are in good shape and I'm trying to find out if their best value is to be sold for melt-down...

Plastic Stream Sluice 10"x39" this is the one. i want to know if it will find me gold and if it would last a good while. it is made of abs plastic. thank you so much

i was checking out some youtube videos and found that many people like the bazooka gold trap sluice box. i thought it looked very nice and easy to use. the price isnt really a problem for me either, so $200 is OK. so i need reviews from other people who have used this sluice. also, i would like...

Some back story: So I am good friends with this guy whose grandfather was well known to be the largest gold merchant in all of Morocco. Story has it that upon hearing of the impending French invasion of Morocco (early 1900's), his grandfather went out into his estate and buried his entire store...

I am in the zone! 4 gold rings so far this week. Love this hobby.

I am relatively new to this but using my Garret I cam across several large pieces of gray clay that you would mistake for any other rock until you smash it with a hammer. It does not easily dissolve in water ( I found them in a river) .I broke open several pieces and found , what I think, is a...

I have had a great couple of days! 2 gold rings. One small 10k w/2 very small diamonds and the big mama. It says 10k. It has over 15 small round diamonds (tester says they are real). Comes up on detector as gold/nickel. Will not attract magnet. it's weird though.....gold everywhere but...

Found this beauty in a freshwater lake. The ring was about six inches deep in the sand, in three foot of water. I have had the AT gold for a little over a month and I am 3 silver rings, 1 stainless ring, 1 copper ring (Rose Gold?) and this beauty of a gold ring. plus 6 silver dimes (4 Mercury...

Hi guys. I found this ring that I got years ago while moving house and I have no idea what it says. I tried writing out the inscription, which I have included with the photos below. The ring is goldish in colour but I'm assuming it's not actually gold. It is roughly 22mm across. I was thinking...

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for the help!! when I was a kid Me and My dad tracked all over NE Georgia looking for this one back in the 1970'S ,as far as I can tell no one has found it . The story goes like this back in the 1950'S a bus driver by the name Marvin Chambers picked up an old...
