DaddyD Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Seeker Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyD Posted March 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 DaddyD It’s 480 grains of gold to a ounce and I wish you all the luck in the world in your endeavor. Chuck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 DaddyD 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.

AZNuggetBob Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 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.

AZNuggetBob Posted April 6, 2021 Report Share Posted April 6, 2021 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. AzNuggetBob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
