Probably so, but don't discard the obvious spots or the easy to get to places, it's there in quantity too. Good luck!

Awesome videos Matt... I just finished watching 1-5. I'm curious about something: suppose I and some friends are willing and able to trek long distances for days at a time to largely inaccessible places.... perhaps even requiring repelling. Is it reasonable to assume we could find some really great spots? Going deep into the wilderness for up to 2 weeks at a time is something I love and once I start gold prospecting I assume I should use this to my advantage? :)

Ive been using my sluice for a while now in Utah and am about to purchase a metal detector. There is a lot of fin to micro fine gold here in the river i work. My question is how much fine gold does it take to register on a metal detector?

You might want to go to the forum at golddredger (dot) com and look for somebody named "Mad Jack" or something like that. A Maine prospector that is doing really good (with pictures of nuggets (big ones). Might want to register, contact him, and go from there. Good luck!

I would go to the Whites site, watch all the videos and pay particular attention to the one on "ground balance." If you want the ultimate in depth with a VLF a ground balance slightly positive in "manual" will give it. All the dedicated gold detectors now are very good (from any mfg.) -- but air tests are extremely erratic with any of them. There is also the possibility you're simply in ground to hot for a VLF to operate effectively. Good luck!

I picked up a gmt with the smaller coil but it seemd to be weak in locating gold. I purchased some smaller flakes and unless I am with in a inch or two of the coil it doesnt seem to pick it up. I tried testing in the air same response even after switching to manual ground balance. Any suggestions?

Yes, it is very thorough (you can put a scoop of concentrates in, go to lunch, and it will still be working gold out when you return). It is one of the very best you can buy (some commercial operations have used them). The drawback: slow. |
