This video is about 10 critical prospecting secrets that will help you find more gold! I note that this is for all types of prospecting - including panning, sluicing, dry washing, nugget detecting. Here they are: 1. Do your research – because it pays off. 2. Read and learn some geology – your success depends on what you know. 3. Think outside the box – learn new skills, others think only inside. 4. Be willing to try new places and take chances, but have the persistence to stick with it. 5. Think about both hard rock and placer areas. 6. Take a good look around the place before you go there. 7. When you go into the field, have a plan of action as to what you will try. 8. Use maps and GPS, so you know where you are. Take notes on what you see. 9. Know the land and claim status before you go. 10. When you get back home, think about what you saw and what worked or what did not – then make a plan for next time. Learn from your experiences.
