Prospecting a brand new Gold Mine spot

Using LIDAR prospecting to locate old gold diggings is a game changer for finding new sites. See how I scout terrain for relic hunting. I am out in the field testing a new location identified entirely through LIDAR data. Many prospectors struggle to find untouched ground, but mapping technology allows us to spot historical diggings that are otherwise invisible from the forest floor. This video follows my process of walking these sites, identifying the signs of past activity, and sorting through the metal debris left behind. Whether you are into metal detecting or just interested in historical gold prospecting, this walk through shows the reality of scouting new territory. I cover the challenges of searching these sites, the type of trash and artifacts like bullets and iron you will encounter, and why finding gold remains difficult even with modern tools. You will get a clear look at what to expect when you head out to these remote locations.
