fishing8046 Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 It is hot outside. Let's share some information. What we know makes us better prospectors. I for one am a prospector that took literally two years to find my first real piece of gold. It was a doozy too 🙂 I haven't found one like it since. I posted it here when I put it in hydrofluoric acid. Please pick a topic and start a post on it or post comments on someone else post. 1) Favorite places to hunt. (Gultches, Hillsides, Mine Dumps, Screen piles, bedrock etc.) Tips and tricks 2) Best research sources, maps, Out of box technics " Here is how to find a new location" 3) GPX coils and setting (Simplify the use of a PI) Pi Basics. 4) Metal detecting patterns. We all have things we relate to gold and these tell-tell signs are the first indicator of gold. 5) Seasons As we all know there are different approaches for each season. Summer Dress right and hunt the areas that normally have the worst vegetation Fall Check the areas that have eroded Winter Hunt the gut of the gulch too hot to hunt when it's hot Spring Find the drainages that historically produce and expand 6) I hate to say equipment but the object is to get and identify as many targets as possible in the course of the day. What does that mean? What type of ground are you hunting? What is your pick of choice? Are there different picks for different areas/seasons Do you know when your detector is telling you Iron or non-Ferrous How do you dig a target? Can you use your coil to pinpoint a target's location? 7) Favorite places to hunt: Deserts High Deserts Foot Hill Mountains Rivers Streams Creek Beds Washes Gultches 😎 What do you do with the gold you find Save your gold Sell Your Gold Repurpose your gold for jewelry 9) Trip preparation: research 10) Hunting Gear. Camel Pack, Foods for breaks, Water or Gator Aid, etc Any or all of the 10 items would make a great thread the idea is to make a contribution to your fellow gold hunters who are dwindling in numbers by the year but each and every one of them has the knowledge to pass on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
