Dogs used to find gold

[architecad]

Hi Fellows

I knew time ago that some treasure hunter used Dogs to track "Gold veins" and caches.What is the true about this?

That's about as reliable as the disposable camera technique... Why do we buy these stupid metal detectors when all we gotta do is get a GOLDEN RETRIEVER! I think that would be a GREY AREA HOUND! Or a PIT BULLION TERRIER! Anna Nicole Smith could sniff out gold.. Maybe an ENGLISH BULLIONDOG.. What's next, a diamond sniffing farrett? I have a SILVER PINCHER! He is a SEEING EYE CACHEHOUND.. How about a BULLSHIHT MASTIFF.. ( that's a mixture of PitBull, Shih Tzu, & English Mastiff) Or an IRISH DIAMOND SETTER? Or a GOLD NUGGET WHIPPET.. Or a SPITZ BLING SPANIEL? How about a GREAT VAINE?

HEY! You weren't supposed to tell anyone about my diamond sniffing ferret.

Those bullion dog jokes are very clever--are you a comedy writer? You should be. Contact Conan O'Brien, he may be looking.

Does gold have an odor? How about quartz and other minerals that gold is commonly found with? I could see how this would be possible for certain minerals. For example, if you could teach your dog to find quartz then the likelihood of finding gold in certain areas may go up significantly.

Nothing is as good as a GOLD BAR POINTER! I have been trying this for years. I crossed a white Shih Tzu with a Black Lab and all I got was a BROWN SHIHT RETRIEVER! I crossed a metal detector with an aardvark and all I could find were iron piss ants! I crossed a Pitbull and a Shih Tzu and all I could find was bullshiht! I crossed a Shih Tzu with a Spitz and all it did was SPIT SHIHT all the time...

The only precious metal that has a distinct "odor" that I know of is silver. Other than that--I'm not sure. I do think it's not a bad idea to train a bloodhound to find currency. That would be a lot of fun actually.

Good Idea Idablo! The U.S. Customs service could use a few of those!

I crossed a Jack Russel Terrier and a Shih Tzu and I got all I got was a nervous little dog that couldn't find Jack Shiht!

Hey Cache Lazy....Where's your stash dude? I see you're here to talk when nobody wants to hear from ya again. Do you sniff for gold too?

It looks like we both need to keep our day job.

I have a copy of a book titled, Money Dog, by Joseph Two Dogs, copyright 1992, by Y. Lynn Publishing, Mountain Home, Arkansas. In this book, the author tells exactly how to choose a dog, and how to train him / her up from a puppy, to search for caches containing paper money. His technique is very sound in principle and would definitely work. There should be a way to modify the training target to include the smell of metal coinage. Anyone who loves dogs and has the patience to train one could get this done.
You may be able to find this book at Amazon.com or eBay. I bought my copy back in the early 90s from Wayne Whitener in OKC at his detector store on South Pennsylvania. I spent a lot of time at his store and bought a bunch of "speciality" treasure books there.

Light a match to gold and then light it to money. There IS a differents between the two smells.

Dano91's bloodhound "Yogi" is a gold seeking dog. Dano pops in TNet every now and then. Here's a few to share...

They both smell like sulphur unless it's a gold coin and then it smells like.....well, sulphur! Monty

You guys are all wrong. I find gold on an almost regular basis.
