I have been playing with the idea of hiking back in the woods and prospecting away from the creeks. I know the only way to find out if it will work is to try but has anybody got any tips on land formations to look for. There are no quartz veins around here its all glacial sculpted valleys.

My hypothesis is that while the creeks have the concentrated gold the original glacial flood banks may very well hold the biggest gold available in the area.

Look for some Bench Placers and ancient streambeds, as they can be worked as well.

Hi Indiana and welcome to the net.
As stated above look for benches up and away from the creek.In the area you live it might not be real easy to find the benches as it might be where I live. Every thing may be overgrown and have top soil covering the gravel in the old river channel. What you want to look for is river washed rocks (rounded rocks) that don't seem to belong there. Or a area that looks like a narrow channel or depression in the gound that has rocks in the middle or up on the sides. Those old channels could hold some very nice gold both in quantity and size.

Good Luck!

I am so excited about getting out there for the first time that I am having dreams about all the videos I have been watching, dreams about my setup and how its gonna run Gold sluicebox progression - YouTube and just the thoughts of gold. I know guys and of other guys that actually make a living doing this. I have spent most of my life in the woods along streams in the mountains. I have not ever thought about looking for gold before last summer when I saw a video on the web. It was a simple sluice and the guy did a half decent job of building it out of wood right there in the hills and left it when he left that day. I was amazed and hooked. He found a little gold and I found a new hobby. i have been building and planning and running the math ever since.

I am an engineer and I even modeled this thing up and ran fluid dynamic testing on it. I am so excited about it. Well since i cant sleep I think I am off to watch some videos of that beautiful yellow stuff and I bid you all good night.

Good luck with your adventure! Are you going with a friend or someone thats been prospecting the area for awhile? If you're just starting out you will learn more from an old timer in just one trip to the river than you will from watching days worth of videos. My advice if you haven't heard it already, test pan first! Your new box might be the best thing ever, but if you're not running gold bearing dirt through it then you will end up pretty frustrated at the end of the day! So make sure to test alot to make sure you are in a good area, it takes time to set everything up and get the water flow just right etc. so running a few test pans first might save you a lot of time in the end. Good luck with it, hope it catches lots of gold for you! And if you don't strike it rich right away try not to let it get you down. Seems like you're pretty smart and have some determination so if you stick with it I'm sure you'll be finding gold in no time.

I know exactly how you feel lain. I have visions on gold nuggets dancing in my head at night lol. It took me about 4 creek trips to finally get my first piece. Don't give up if you don't find anything. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. I hope you hit gold on your first day out! Good luck!

Welcome !
I'm new here too. When I was a kid, I spent a lot of summers in Warren Idaho, about 50 miles North of McCall. It was a gold mining town and still has permanent residences. Above town is Boot Hill where there are several graves of Chinese miner immigrants. They were preferred because of there small stature. I remember the Little Giant mine (behind the town & across Warren Creek and on top of dredge tailings. There are dredge ponds all over the place. There were very few active claims but this was decades ago and the only reason I bring it up is the technology of the 1800's left a lot of gold (IMHO) for others now. Make sure you can do what you want to do, where you want to be, and have fun with your new hobby.

I recommend a trip to Cache Creek Colorado. It's a BLM area just south of Leadsville dedicated to recreational prospecting. Great camp sites close to the digging. Several Porta-Johns set up at the entrance gate for convienience. No charge for camping. Although there's a 14 day limit, nobody's really worried about enforcing it. Stayed there three weeks with no problem. The host meets you at the gate and gives you the nickle tour. He also rents out and sells various equipment, as do others. Pumps, hoses, highbankers are available. Shovels and picks are in short supply though. Make sure you bring those. Lots of experienced people to network with, and you WILL find some gold. It would be hard to pick a better place for your first time out. Good Luck.

I can relate to your feelings on this as I'm pretty excited about getting back into prospecting after years away from it. I guess it helps that I've got a wonderful lady that is as interested in it as I am. I'm a MacGuyver type and will be making a lot of the equipment we'll be using so instead of dreaming of gold I' have problems getting to sleep as I think of how to fabricate all this stuff!!!
