Me I think I am mainly a pocket hunter..I love hard packed gravel! I never used a dredge or a highbanker everything I have done so far is man power. my brother on the other hand, hardly ever touches gravel he spends most of his time looking for hairline fractures and cracks..I prefer to average my gold daily so to speak where my brother is looking for a nice crack to pay for his day..I will admitt he has had some awesome cracks but on the other hand I rarely get skunked where sometimes it can be days before he turns up sumtin of worth..The first vid is of an Island bar that I have done well in over the last years the second is of my brothers kind of prospecting.. I was just curious on what kind of prospecting you all engage in?

Im a full time profesional hardrock pocket hunter, i prospect the hills of the desert looking gossins to dig, my actuall take wont be realized for a few more years, as i have to build a pile ( tonnage) so i only
see gold from my samples, the rest is in a pile of rock, good Lord willing i live long enough to see it milled.

My preference is dry creeks and other areas of the Mojave. Enjoy using my drywasher whenever I can. I'm still learning so I hope to hook up with a club in a few weeks.

I like working creeks around the Cajon Pass and Lytle creek area as well, as long as "the man" keeps his hands off of my sluice!

I enjoy exploring and prospecting around the edges of known areas. I've found some great little spots to sluice that way

Depends on what I feel like doing that day. Sluicing, Sniping, or Detecting. Sometimes I end up spending all my time scouting around and exploring and only run a few pans of material.

Have to say I'm partial to tree roots and moss. Haven't sluiced yet though - so that may change once I get my bazooka in the water. I know I definitely have to process more dirt though.

I prefer quick trips with a pan, shovel, and a couple buckets. I will pan anything I can get my hands on, I've even grabbed some nice looking gravel out of a parking lot and did a quick pan before going into the store! I enjoy getting out to see new areas and finding gold is the excuse I use to hike out into nature and enjoy the outdoors. I live in an apartment so I don't have much room for prospecting gear, and I'm too busy at work to get out to the river for more than a few hours every week or so. But even still, I find color in my pan more often than not and it still makes me smile every time I do. I literally won't leave home unless there is a pan and shovel in my trunk, I'm always looking for gold!

Well I haven't done Hard Rock. but most other types I have. I have a small mining company in my garage and look for any chance to get out and find some gold.

In all the advancing we can do to improve this world, the sharing of knowledge and wisdom is the most important.
We stand on the shoulders of giants.
I am so glad I joined this Message board.
If I post anything that inspires anyone to do better mining then me, I did my part.
And If anyone inspires me to try something new, or better, I thank them now.
