    Yellow Stuff

    That sounds like a possible winner. Again I confess that I am an inexperienced individual when it comes to metal detecting (more-so the different makes, models, coils and their uses). I have stated that high mineralization is a huge problem for this area but with such recent gold finds, the use...

    Yellow Stuff

    I tried the older Fisher Goldbug metal detector with zero results In finding gold. There is so much mineralization in this area with hot rocks and iron deposits that it makes detecting very difficult. I will be the first to admit that (1) I have virtually no experience in metal detecting, (2)...

    Yellow Stuff

    I know it’s still winter but I thought that a quick “Show & Tell” of my more chunkier gold would soothe those cold winter blues away. (y)

    What does your gold resemble?

    Very cool! I do see the image of ‘the mask.’ Nice character. A great find for sure. Thanks for sharing.

    What does your gold resemble?

    Gold is gold and no matter it’s size, any amount is better than never having any at all. Don’t get me wrong, large nuggets and most certainly some larger pickers are a real delight to find when on the claim. Many of these do bring back fond memories of how and where they were found, not to...

    What does your gold resemble?

    This gold was taken in Idaho. Ohio does have glacial gold. I am familiar with several GPAA gold camps on the western side of your state. Some of the folks that I have contact with say they are doing quite well over there. I do know this organization has a membership but it may be worth looking...

    What does your gold resemble?

    I do like that idea with the bed liner paint. The black color certainly shows the gold quite well. Your suggestion reminded me of another trick I used to make a “drop down sluice.” Back in the day (gosh I sound old using that cliche), I acquired a small metal sluice box minus its top wing...

    What does your gold resemble?

    Very good question. Oddly enough, I have not had any wood warping issues. The fact that I placed screws about every 3-4 inches may have prevented any such possible warping. Boards are glued and inside corners are caulked to add stability and to prevent any loss of gold. Wood is a natural...

    What does your gold resemble?

    Hell yeah. Best solo ever! If you’ve never seen the older Van Halen in concert, then the next best thing to do is to sit yourself down in front of a 55+ inch TV with surround sound and watch the entire above clip. It’s a real treat to any musician lover. Thanks for bringing back fond memories.

    What does your gold resemble?

    No need to apologize for acknowledging that you are a true Van Halen fan. My wife and are are as well. As an inspired 80’s hair band musician (guitarist), I feel honored to have experienced and lived during the premier highlights of Eddie’s career. As fans, we all can take satisfaction that we...

    What does your gold resemble?

    I really do see the resemblance of a dinosaur head. Very cool! Even more cool is the location it was found at and it’s brief history (dating back to the 1800’s). Nice find!

    What does your gold resemble?

    The home made wooden high banker in question began as a primitive sluice box and through trial and error,,, progressed into an effective portable high banker. The thought process was to build a more efficient “Long Tom” that could capture fine gold as well as the larger pieces. To assist in a...

    What does your gold resemble?

    Hi Bob. I use to use an old Fisher Gold Bug but I found it was easier getting the gold out of the stream the old placer way (shovel, pick, pan, sluice, pvc suction, or high banking) then to dig up the banks when a possible signal was detected. Don’t get me wrong, metal detecting has its place...

    What does your gold resemble?

    Another piece of gold resembling that of a seahorse or possibly a duck for that matter. Lol. Depends on one’s imagination.

    Here’s a piece of gold that I call my “Ace of Spades. “ By the way, the above is nice looking gold. (y)
