How To Find Gold Metal Detecting Gold Video locations: http://www.treasuresites.com/treasurebooks.htm Prospecting stickers: http://stores.ebay.com/store=417495924 for stickers Gold and platinum are 15-19 times heavier than other streambed materials and concentrate in low pressure areas and cracks that run across rivers and streams. You look for a crack on the bank, and follow it out until you meet the "gold line" and there you suck it out with your dredge. Gold will be on the outside edge of a river gravel bar, at the head of the bar (large gold but usually beneath big boulders), and at the tail end of a bar (vast concentrations due to river bars forming in the shape of an airfoil and sucking fine gold to the tail end) but be small to microscopic at the tail end. Gold will travel down a river or stream in a line, usually off center of the high pressure water. Gold will settle behind a boulder. A good place to fish, can also be an excellent place to find gold. "Black sand" is iron ore that can be readilly identified in gravel bars and is a ready indicator that gold is probably present. The most effective and economical way for the average person to find paying concentrations of gold in a river or stream is with a simple ($80) sluice that you shovel into and the riffles retain gold, platinum, gems and anything heavy for you. Gold can be found up high on the old river channels and recovered with metal detectors, a gold wheel, a highbanker, or simply by identifying the material, shoveling it in your truck and working it out later in a wheel, or your simple stream sluice. The states which have gold in vast quantities are: Maine, Vermont, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, California, Idaho, Washington, Montana, and Oregon. The rest have gold as well, some in very good concentrations. All have gems of some kind that a sluice will seperate and hold. Good luck finding the gold of your dreams! Find gold by viewing the other films in this series for all the methods (from simple hand tools to metal detectors) plus even more valuable gems. Metal detector videos. Metaldetectors for nuggets!

  • Thanks Much for being so generous as to give us neophytes some idea about how to find gold!

    I am interested in gold prospecting here in Nevada, California and Arizona. And the detector I'm eyeing is the White GMT. If you have time, can you tell me if it's a quality machine for the money and is good for nugget hunting? (I'll check out your Treasures website to see if recommendations are mentioned there.)

    Thanks again for your helpful vids!!

  • @guyNbluejeans : Yes, the GMT is very much a quality detector. Be sure to get the small coil (shooter DD) to add to the one supplied. The detector itself is much more user friendly than the Fisher GoldBug II and will detect almost as well on small gold.

  • Matt please advise and bear with my Language since Kiswahili is my mother tongue. I am beggi nner in this whole field.

    I m trying to get similar devices that are shown on the video; I need an equipment that can pinpoint the accurate distance and location like GPA to the nearest distance the availability of Gold , other precious metals , ground water and other marketable(popular) metals or minerals.

  • @Lufingo1 : if you click on the website (treasuresites) in the description of this film (or any of them or the homepage (flagold) and drop down and click the prospecting tools, books, etc., link, about the closest thing you're describing that will give a "hit" on a target and log the GPS co-ordinate of that metal is the towed fish (expensive) shown there. The small metal detectors like we use in the field will give indication of type of metal and some give depth readouts. Good luck!

  • Matt, what is your opinion of the Dessert Fox Spiral Wheel? It's about $200.00 less than the Gold Genie.

  • @ScootersBasement : the Gold Genie is very thorough, it is the only one of the gold wheels I know of that some of the big operations have used. The DF & smaller panners are really meant for the field where you want a down and dirty fast ID of what the potential is. If for cleanup down to the nitty gritty, the Gold Genie is the way to go, if in the field for recovery, the smaller units are appropriate, easy, and quick to use. The Gold Genie will get virtually all the gold out, but is slow.

  • @flagold Glad to hear it! I'll buy the other coil and you a bottle of wine if you ever make it out to Reno!

  • @Lufingo1 wheres part two

  • Hi !Come to visit our website and video ! Have a great Day ! DL

  • Hello do you have the info to join the miner's creek club? I notice that you were screening your material down to take it back to Florida. Was that on the miners creek club claim? How much material did you finally take back to Florida? I would like to join a nice club. I want to join at the end of this month. Thanks for your great videos!!!!

  • Matt am Lost I saw lots of devices can you please email me the link to that device or give me the manufacturers' url and when you say expensive what is the price? AS long as it can measure at least 80 meters underground on different soil types then I want it.
