Highbanking/Dredging in the Philippines (Benguet area)

[NewProspector]

Good day!

I know that there are some older threads about prospecting in the Philippines but I would like to start a thread where people can (hopefully) share their own experiences (or their friends/relatives experience)

I’m moving to the Philippines in 2024 due to my job and I’m really curious about prospecting while I’m there, particularly in Benguet. But there’s not really a lot of info or videos on YouTube of how much you can expect finding there with a high banker for example.
The locals there uses somewhat outdated equipment and probably has pretty high losses.

So I’m wondering if anyone here has som experience from prospecting in Benguet to share.

Thanks

I don't know anything about gold prospecting outside of where I live. But I can wish you the best with your new job location, and good gold where you'll be prospecting/mining.

Team up with a local prospector at the very least.

First off , I'd contact the Philippian's Government and get a copy of their rules ! read them over a couple of times to make sure you know what their rules are ! Then I'd try to (like was just posted ) contact any club or group or individuals that are over there and ask them !
