Magnet fishing

[DaddyD]

One of the mostly exciting and fun ways to get gold is magnet fishing for gold kids really love it because they love to get wet

How do you get gold with a magnet since gold doesn't stick to a magnet?

Unless the "gold" is the adventure the kids have finding treasure that does stick to magnets.

When you are magnet fishing for gold what you are really doing is collecting black sand in a river or creek and gold comes up with it

It’s 480 grains of gold to a ounce and I wish you all the luck in the world in your endeavor.

 I’ve been thinking about trying magnet fishing. I seen a video that a guy pulled out a motorcycle out of a river that had been stolen. You just don’t know what you may pull out.

A friend and I were out hunting Vulture mine and ran into a patch that many of the nuggets stuck to our pick magnets. as a matter of fact we were at a local watering hole later that day demonstrating it on the bar. not kidding. apparently they had enough iron chunks in them to be attracted to a magnet. I'm talking up to 1/2 ounce nuggets. we joked about raking out and dragging the drywash piles with magnets. a lot of hot rocks at that spot. we were hunting with VLF's

Wish I still had some of them but like many of my nugget finds, they belong to a new owners now.

Now I know it was probably Magnetite crystals joined with the nuggets

back then it was just a pain in the butt to swing over with VLF detector's.

Need to get back there some day with the new Minelabs.
