Hello prospectors,
I haven't started searching yet. I am doing the research. I am planning on searching for gold. I plan on searching California and Arizona. This is a good site. Thanks everyone for all the informative.
...and the journey continues.

Well, Tom, I' no prospector, but what I've seen from reality shows and videos..., there's 95+% very hard field work/prospecting and study of the land/geology + inve$tment of gear. Then there's a HUGE amount of LUCK (<5%) .....if you're lucky...! :laughing7:
There is gold prospecting corner, somewhere in this forum, or you can hook up with someone in your state, (eg a club) - Good Luck! Happy Hunting!

Thanks for the encouragement? Ha ha.
The way I figure it, I get to exercise my mind doing all the research. I get to exercise my body moving tons of dirt and rock. I get to exercise my bank account, keep my doctor, my mechanic and my dog happy. Not too sure about my wife, but heck, she jumped on my sailboat and cruised for four years and we're working on 16 years together. I have no illusions.
I bought a fly fishing set up...back up hobby. The German Shepherd, Jake, is mine. Ginger, the neighbor's dog, is his girlfriend.

Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country). You might also consider adding your state (or country) to your displayed profile (SETTINGS -> EDIT PROFILE) so if you ask a question, etc. - members may have more success helping you (your location may help etc.)...

Thanks Mr. Sandcrab,
I've done a lot of things for work and play. I figure that hanging out in nature doing active things is not a bad way to retire. I guarantee I will retire every night...like a rock.
Say hello to Jake, my rescue Shepherd. View attachment 1990389
great looking young man and companion.
