    At The Park In February

    Here in the San Francisco Bay area of California we only have two seasons. They are Spring and Summer. So it is spring now and we get rain now and then. There is no rain from April to November. So the sod at the park is softer then in the summer months. I live in the Almaden Valley part of...

    ANOTHER METEOR-WRONG

    Just got back from two weeks at Quartzsite, AZ. Only took the metal detector out one time. On that trip after I got tired of all the trash around where cars would park off road, I took out to the quiet of the open desert. After quite a walk I got a hot rock signal. I had a magnet on my pick...

    DREDGING FOR GOLD

    I have a question and I am sure that a lot of prospectors have experienced this. What is the best way to keep the dredge hose form clogging? My experience is limited to a two inch backpack dredge that I tried a few times one summer on creeks here in California. I even drilled a hole and put...

    THANK YOU STEVE HERSCHBACH

    Thank you Steve Herschbach. Without a moderator there can be no forum and we all enjoy the forum. I like the name Prospecting Forum as that is world wide. Being a moderator sounds like a hard, thankless job so thanks again. Good luck this summer at Jack Wade Creek.

    A Coincidence

    Here is a coincidence. In 2004 I spent a week at Ganes Creek, looking for gold. I wrote about that week in this forum. There was a couple there, Arthur and Melody Tallis. Arthur was a doctor and i think Melody said she was an RN. Well, as a lover of gold hunting stories, I have been...

    HAND MADE HIGH BANKER

    I realize this is a metal detector forum but there are no new photos to view so am sending one. Have a question: "What kind of hand made gold recovery machines have people made?" Let's see some photos. This wood high banker was built in 1966. Gold was $35.00 an Oz. back then.

    Why it is better to metal detect !!!

    There is metal detecting and there is gold panning and metal detecting is easier. And many do a lot better with the metal detector. The only good thing about panning is that there is gold in every pan, but not much. Anyway here are photos of last weekend panning.

    More Questions for Steve Herschbach

    Dear Steve Your Moore Creek gold deposit has one thinking. Is there a chance that such a gold load deposit may also exist on some mountain side who's water feeds the creeks of the Chisana Mining District of Alaska? From what you saw of the gold you panned and metal detected in the Chisana was...

    Steve Herschbach and Moor Creek was on TV

    Hi Steve Wow, now you are a TV star too. Good show. I saw you on the program "Cash and Treasure" on the Travel Channel just tonight. For those who did not see the program, it started with the lady host of the show panning at Hope Creek, Alaska. Then they met Steve at his store in Anchorage...

    Question to Steve Herschbach

    Steve, It goes without saying that I am pleased for you. The large gold deposit find at your Moore Creek mine is impressive. Also I want to again thank you for the time you mailed me the disk with the photos of five trips that you made to the site of the Chisana Gold Rush. As you remember my...

    SISKIYOU COUNTY GOLD

    Some time ago someone asked if anyone knew anything about the gold display at the Siskiyou County, California Court House. Here is a photo taken about 5 years ago of the display of gold. It was taken through glass so not all that good.

    Trouble On The Highway

    Here was someone with more trouble than me. This was Tue morning, 5 Sep, at a rest stop on I-80 somewhere east of Salt Lake, UT. I stopped and saw the smoke. Got the camera and just then the flames shot out. I beat on the door of the truck next to the burning trailer and got the driver awake...

    Coins From Ganes Creek

    While I was up at Ganes Creek I found two coins. One was a 1972 dine. No great find there. But one was a gold painted penny. I understand that Jerry from ID who led a group on Week One planted coins in the tailings by the camp. This must have been one of them. Also found a brass key. Can...

    Placer Mining, 2006

    Below is a series of photos showing Doug Clark's Ganes Creek Placer mining. The overburden is removed and the gold bearing gravel is pushed into a pile by a bulldozer. In the first photo is the sluice fed from a backhoe. There is a water pipe bringing water from a stream using a large pump...

    Testing at Ganes Creek

    I ran a test while at Ganes Creek. I marked out an area and detected on it with the MXT. Found 13 targets, some iron and some hot rocks. Until I used the MXT I did not know that there was hot rocks at Ganes Creek. Then I took the Minelab 3000 and went over the area. Of the 13 MXT Targets, 5...

    My 13 dats at Ganes Creek

    My two weeks at Ganes Creek could be titled: "Too soon old, Too late smart." Some background about myself is that I started metal detecting about 6 years ago with a Minelab 2100 (no discriminating) and then upgraded to a Minelab 3000 (very little iron discrimination). Have found very few gold...

    Sidewalk Chalk Art

    A friend sent a group of photos of "Sidewalk Art." These are flat chalk drawings from a Mr. Julian Beever, an English artist. They have an amazing 3 D illusion. These photos have been printed out and then scanned back in so have lost a little quality. Now my question is: "What is the brand...

    Wanted, used backup metal detector

    Am looking for a backup metal detector for my next gold hunting trip to Ganes Creek, Alaska. Understand that a Whites MXT is a good machine but would consider others. I have a Minelab 3000 so price is important. With any kind of luck I will not use this backup machine at all. Welcome all...
