The interesting thing about the Mother Lode area is that we can pretty much find at least a little gold in any creek or river (and even in some of the many dry gulches).

I’m sure we all have, at some point in time, gone out detecting and ended up not having the success we thought we would have. Here are some helpful game-changers that work for me and may work for you, as well.

Fortunately, there are products on the market that can address these problems and make a small-scale mining operation feasible.

There is always an overwhelming feeling when finding gold of any size, but one like this doesn’t come along very often.
