Over the years, I’ve proved to myself over and over again that I don’t have to wait many weeks after rains before I head out to the goldfields to do some gold digging.

At first we decided to see what the flat by our camp would produce where the old-timers had worked it with their Pelton wheel and dragline buckets.

How rich does a hard rock ore have to be for it to be worthwhile to process and extract the gold?

Selecting the wrong coil can potentially cause you to miss nuggets, so you want to be sure to select the best option for the situation at hand.

…what adjustment can I make to my dredge that will enhance its gold-catching ability?

There were nice sections of vein material at the end of several drifts, like they just stopped work one day and walked away.
