Eastbay Gold Prospecting & Treasure Hunting Club

Created on May 28, 2009 using FlipShare.

Tom and I return to the spot I hit yesterday. We both have our GoldnSand hand dredges. I use my full sized Bazooka Gold Trap sluice and Tom uses his folding backpack sluice. We include a few tips and tricks for prospectors.

Inclement weather finally breaks and allows me to go prospecting...with nice results

We track the progress of a newbie on his first trip to find gold, take a look at the Bear river site and track the efforts of various individuals. You will be impressed by Tim's clean-up pan.

Part one of the East Bay Prospectors March outing. We help some newbies "get in to some gold" and depart very happy campers.

This is a good Video to teach basic sluice box usage.

went for a hunt in a local park and all most passed this ring up.

Back to the new site today with a friend. Weather was perfect and we got some more gold.

I return to a likely spot to survey the stream before inviting any friends along. The weather and scenery are great and the gold aint bad either!

I start checking the drainages near my home to see if they contain glod values. These are seasonal streams which only run when we have good rain or snowmelt.
