Howdy and welcome to part 1 of our 7-part Alluvial Gold Prospecting Course. Combined with the information in my free e-book, "My Secrets to Finding Millions of Ounces of Alluvial Gold" about ancient river placers, this course should get you headed in the right direction to find some big nuggets of your own. If you did not already receive your free e-book you will be given the download link at the end of this 7-part course. Because of my web site, Adventures Into the Unknown, and my history as a prospector, I often receive emails asking about where to find gold in many different parts of the world. Here are a few ideas of how you can discover where the gold is in YOUR part of the world. The prospecting techniques covered in this course are universal and apply to rivers anywhere, not just in the USA. Research is responsible for 80% of your success as a gold prospector. You must learn to perform good research to discover the very best places to search for gold. Becoming a good investigator will practically guarantee your success. Join a local prospecting club. Many clubs own claims for the exclusive use of their members. Some also have outings in good gold prospecting areas throughout the year. The experienced club members you will find at the meetings and outings are usually very willing to answer your questions. Find the closest mining equipment dealers in the area you are interested in. Try the Yellow Pages under Mining Equipment and/or Metal Detectors. Keene Engineering advertises in all the mining magazines and the ads have a listing of their dealers organized by state. Local dealers will probably be your best source of information. Of course it helps if you are buying something when asking for help or advice. Buy a book! Again, a local dealer should have the best selection of "where to go" books for their area. Another good source is Cal-Gold. Although they are located in Southern California and Arizona, they have a good selection of books on other areas. Take a look at their book list. Go to your local public library, university library and local bookstores (especially used books). Oftentimes you can find history books about your local area dealing with prospecting and mining history or other related adventures. Use the internet to check the "alt.mining.recreational" newsgroup FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) list. There is a lot of good information in the FAQ and you may just find what you are looking for. Ask questions in the alt.mining.recreational newsgroup. There is a much better chance someone will have the answer in the newsgroup than if you ask me. Check out all treasure hunting and prospecting forums on the internet. There is much to be learned from the comments that are made there. You can also find others from your area with a lot of important information. Remember, finding out where gold has already been found will greatly increase your effectiveness and reduce the time it takes to get gold in your pan. Don't waste your time searching in the least likely places first. Go to the proven sites and don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions. Good Luck! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introduction to Gold Prospecting Next Page |
