How To Find Gold

By: Mark P Andrews

If you want to become a lot more successful at gold prospecting
or gold nugget prospecting, the first thing to realize is that
good research can make your job a lot easier whilst out in the
field. Widespread internet availability today makes your
research a whole lot easier and there is a great deal of
information out there that you can search for. Another good
resource of information is the local library in the area where
you plan to go gold prospecting. Another aspect not to overlook
is research via old books on the subject or even the diaries of
old gold miners if you can find these. All of these avenues will
eventually turn up for you, some awesome information and greatly
increase your chances of finding a spot where you can find
worthwhile deposits of gold that will be worth your time,
locating and finding for yourself.

What else can you do?

Try finding old newspapers, old bulletins and geological books
about mining, especially for gold. Geological maps can also help
you in your search and you should be able able to find these
too, via your local state university, another option. There is
an old saying which goes along the lines of, 'To find gold, go
where gold has already been found'. So, try and find out where
the placer workings were located, and try to find spots that
others might have overlooked. Also contact governmental agencies
in the area where you intend to prospect as all these avenues
will assist you in your such to one degree or another.

Also contact any geology and prospecting clubs or associations
in the area where you intend to start prospecting and don't be
afraid to ask of those members questions relevant to the
subject, remember, most people like to talk about subjects which
they have a passion for and sometimes depending on the
circumstances, they may give you some really good pointers on
good places to prospect for gold.

Remember also to always make sure that in the area where you
intend to start your gold prospecting that you have in advance
all the required permissions from the land owner and don't be
surprised if s/he is very annoyed with you, if you do not seek
this permission first. It is polite and common courtesy to ask
first. Again preparation is key. Driving long distances only to
find out the land status does not permit gold prospecting can be
very disheartening. If you do your research in advance, many of
these kind of problems can be overcome which will aid vastly to
your overall enjoyment whilst prospecting for gold nuggets out
in the field.
