Want to find your own gold? It’s out there to be had – many folks don’t believe it but it’s true. I’ve found loads of gold over the years and others have done the same. Do you want to be one of those folks who has the skill to find their own gold? Why are we going to be successful finding where they missed gold? It’s because we have technology they could never have dreamed of. Metal detectors can see gold hidden in the ground and the state of the art in metal detector technology has gotten very advanced.

Look for the old workings – spots where the old timers worked. A old friend wrote a book he called “Follow the Dry washers”. The point of the book was that the old timers did a lot of the work of exploration for us and found the gold deposits. From little dry was spots, to small ground sluice workings to giant hydraulic mine workings and hard rock mines with deep shafts and adits – all of these have potential for gold. If the old timers took gold from a place, it’s a good chance that some gold treasure is left behind for us.
