    What does your gold resemble?

    Every once in awhile you find a piece of gold that resembles something of this world. Looking back, a few years ago I was fortunate to find a nugget that I now call the “Van Halen Nugget.” This .9 gram nugget displays a prominent “v” and an “h” (hence the Van Halen nugget) on its surface. The...

    Looking For Gold

    Snow, snow, snow!! Tired of looking at snow? Do what I do,,,, I decided to jump into a snow bank to look for some gold. Nothing here but more snow. I think I'll surface when the snow melts and try looking for gold in a river next time.

    Hard Core Placer Mining

    *CAUTION* If you are a recreational miner, I do advise that you test your limits to the EXTREMES!

    Detecting for gold - finding bits of mining history

    When it comes to metal detecting, I consider myself an old prospector trying a modern day method. As a novice to this type of nugget hunting technique, it sure has tested my patience in previous outings. Fortunately I chose a wooded draw that was so secluded that even hunting was nonexistent. To...

    Winter Prospecting In Idaho

    Now is the time to prospect the high country. Slightly warmer temperatures, no spring run off yet, and shallow waters. Again, this past Sunday (3-13-11) found me back at this small creek (PHOTO 1). Call me what you will (crazy, nuts, or just plain wacko) but I desperately wanted to move some...

    Creek Bed Boulder Removal -> GOLD

    As I passed by this section of stream many times, this one day (Friday October 9th), I stopped dead in my tracks and chose to investigate this particular spot. My eyes were affixed on the removal of a boulder. Not only was it in shallow water but it was also in full sun light amongst an...

    Processing In Cased Black Sand Gold

    I have taken a moment to share with others as to how I spend my late fall & winter months preparing for "black sand gold recovery." Though I do classify my gravels during the Summer and keep them in storage, the final process is saved for the cabin fever days. This segment begins with...

    Idaho's Ice Fishing - 4 GOLD

    Some folks may feel at ease when sitting in a warm cabin during the cold Winter day. I on the other hand, feel right at home wading through frost bitten ice holes in search of gold. They say pictures are worth a thousand words ... and so they are. The below photos illustrates such an event taken...
