Who is your favorite Prospector?

[SteveDigsGems]

There are a few people I like to watch on youtube and other video sites, Jeff Williams (askjeffwilliams.com), Rob Goreham (49er mining supplies), and Prospector Jess (hunting4gold.com) are a few of my favorites. There are more guys that I can't think of right now, like this really cool australian guy that does hard rock mining, and there is this cool younger guy that has a ton of info and relates the information really well, I really wish I had more details, I am going to have to search my youtube history for that. Who do you all follow? Who makes informative videos that are fun to watch? My brain is hungry!! Happy prospecting.

Buzzard be cause he came to my elementry school and planted the seed.FULLPAN....Kuger. 63 backpacker wish I could have sat around a few campfires with those guys.Astobouncer cause he has the mind of Davinci. Hoser cause I can't understand a word he says and he makes me look like a nice guy. GDMF beuraratz....JIM HEMINGWAY, Trinity AU, REED LUKENS Hurthawk ,Madmarshall.......you guys make me wish I didn't work 55+ hours a week.Any new guys with the fever that go past the dreaming stage and really work it and find out haw much you can actually find, and don't get discouraged and enjoy this awesome "TRADE". All the newbies who give up and provide guys like me with cheap gear And #1 is Gravelwasher cause he is a cool guy, smart prospector, humble and when we get the chance to head out together the Skunk petty much heads the other way

Man, that is awesome that you got such an experience in elementary school! Thank you for all of the names, I will check them out. I'll check Gravelwasher's videos first, since he is #1 and all.

 

[Goldwasher]

sorry man but, I dont think he has any videos........as most of the best don't!

 

[SteveDigsGems]

Well, I love reading, so I hope he has books!

Steve,
I concur with Astrobouncer's comment. But, any source list of prospecting information would be incomplete without mentioning J.R. at "Bedrock Dreams". He is incredibly experienced in multiple aspects of gold mining and provides a total "no B.S." approach to educating less experienced prospectors.
Thanks to everyone for the plugs.
Live Long and Prospect,
Rick (HurtHawk)

Pville - "Hoser, cause I don't understand a word he says...." LMAO, and I thought it was just me! John's just fine when you don't talk about the dreaded
"Ban" or "Cancer from the Klamath". lol

 

[Dustedyou]

mine is GOLDTRAMP,,, Have you seen what he's working in? HARD rock and Harsh environment. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/h...ime-small-scale-miner-endangered-species.html

 

[SteveDigsGems]

Hurthawk, thank you, J.R. sounds like a great addition to my learning arsenal. Happy hunting!

Dustedyou, I'll check it out.

My favorite is Alex Falco.
You can read about his adventures on the thread...Need Gold Prospecting Areas... Wes

 

[austin]

Hands down it is Terry Soloman on this website. He is an expert in anything having to do with gold and knows, like I do, that the LDM is just a romantic legend...

 

[SteveDigsGems]

Sounds good, thanks guys!

My favorite prospector is the newbie. A fresh mind that is willing to learn without bias. No preconceptions of what they already are convinced will work. Eager conversation about what they think, that just may make you question what you know. If you are open to it, you too may just learn something new. A strong back willing to move mountains. The look on their face with their first flash in the pan, priceless. The vial they carry to show the world, then everyone gets to relive the day of that vial. It's the joy of a child in a grown-ups heart, THEY are my favorite prospectors. And they are too numerous to list. Welcome to the list.

[SteveDigsGems]

Gold Cube has my vote for best answer. lol

 

[Oakview2]

Tim & Terry C, as they are bringing the Gold experience to folks who would not get the Arizona experience if not for their generous offerings of their claims and digs.

 

[Goodyguy]

Joseph Curry aka Don Jose de La Mancha
and Floyd Mann just to name a couple of my treasure hunting hero's

My favorite prospectors are those who are students of the natural world, have a respect for and love nature, and are willing to share their knowledge with others.
In other words most of the folks who post on this forum.

GG~

Thanks for the information Goodguy. This is a great forum, I am happy to have found it!

I'm fairly new here but I gotta say my favorite is Lanny in AB. His years of writings in Bedrock and Gold is an incredible source of not only prospecting but for the sheer joy of reading about his experiences. I'm still in 2010 and each article he wrote reminds me of stories worthy of the last page in Field & Stream. THANK YOU Lanny!

 

[SteveDigsGems]

Nothing wrong with being new, we are all people. Thanks for the info, I'll do a google search!
