Gold Prospecting in Utah

[mattamiller]

I've got a local utah map and I noticed on the hill side it says "prospect" with a little square what does this mean?

@mattamiller check the symbols on your map if its on the map there it should be on the page that explains the meanings of the symbols.

Thanks! It is a fun and exciting outdoor activity, even for young children to get them involved in the out of doors! Go out and find some!

i live near spanish fork, i go up a canyon i wont name, but i find gold there without a sluice, just a pan and i find alot of silver and platinum. theres alot of gold here in utah, you just gotta find it ;)

[hondadrift]

Really? Will you share with us? I havent had much luck in AF canyon...

[tmaster141]

I went us a few weeks ago and it looks like they have changed the regulations now in that canyon. I need to make some calls and see if I can find out what the laws are now for small operation dredging and panning.

[tonapah141]

Yea, It's "payton canyon, or summit creek canyon"...LoL.

[actingimprov]

You wanna tell, cause I can beg! Besides it'll only be a vacational visit kinda thing, you can even pm me the awnser! Besides you cant get it all anyways!

Aside from that great vid! I want to learn how to pan/sleuce for gold. No dredging too many permits!

[actingimprov]

Especially towards you thediscgolfkid.

[Got2BeDowne69]

[Panyaheye]

you can use the normal pan or the plate for flower pot ja

there is a prospecting shop in Orem on 400 North between state and Orem bulevard. You can find everything you need and then some

[wesomest]

@ty34gh23 what is the shop's name?

[FORMER0203USMC]

i usually go for the magnet however when i only find a few flakes i can get em out with a pair of tweezers

is a couple of flakes good for just one cup of dirt? im finding about 1 1/2 teaspoons of black sand every time (im not dredging) just shoveling dirt, classifying it and panning it out

[ColoradoProspector]

Great video, thanks and keep em' coming! :-)

I would also like to invite you to view our new underwater gold dredging videos.

You will see how the environment interacts with the dredger while she works underwater.

[tmaster141]

Seperating out the fine gold can be a lot of work and there are several methods for doing it. From drying the black sands out and using a magnet to remove out the metals other than gold, to amalgamation, the method of using mercury to take the gold out of the remaining black sands. BE CAREFUL AND MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING! The Gold Prospectors Association is a great resource and you can find them online.
