Prospecting
We have been all over the country prospecting and gathering new dirt/material to share with you. Each unique area requires different recovery methods such as crevicing, dredging, sluicing, dry washing, and even metal detecting. Before leaving a spot we are working to gather gold for our products, we collect material and classify it down. Classifying is the only alteration to the material before it becomes paydirt for you to buy unless it is marked as concentrates.

Look at all that material! Getting ready to run it through the Gold Fox Trommel and find some GOLD! Notice the A52 at the end of the sluice run to create our own "Long Tom". Amelia and Jan work together to wash all the pay
Our 4 wheeler has been invaluable! From our many sight-seeing adventures, testing ground in hard to reach remote places, and even for staking our new claims. It is super versatile especially towing around trailer loads of dirt and carrying our prospecting equipment. This "mule" is the best!
We find all sorts of things while digging in the dirt. Spiders, scorpions, relics, etc... by far the most exciting thing to pull out of the ground is GOLD!!! All the gold we find ends up in all of our various paydirts and from there it begins again, bringing the joy of discovery to another like minded hobbyist.
