Hi all:

Moved (retired) to BC in 2001 from Saskatchewan where it is -31 deg. C as i post this. Reminds me why I moved to Lower Mainland. LOL. I have a single claim on the Fraser River and enjoy getting to it whenever I can. I have found a lot of very good info on this forum and hope to...

I thought I would quit lurking and introduce myself, Hope this is the right Forum. Well to start Ive Never been prospecting as an adult but the bug was planted by my grand pa when I was young. So much so that I started a trommel build a while back with every intention of using when complete. I am In the Army Reserve, hunt, fish, and shoot anything I can get my hands on. Father of 3 and coming up on 20 years of marriage to my lovely wife. So far love the forum and am glad to be here

Hello all,I figured I better become a member after"lurking" (not the creepy type LOL) for about a year after getting my Free Miners. I have got a lot of info from the board already and it has been very helpfull.I figured I better get my Free Miners due to the fact that I run excavator for a logging company building road on the Coast. Has anybody taken the Placer Mining course at BCIT?

Hello,
I am a prospector that is planning on heading your way in the next few years. Here in the south we have a lot of placer gold. I use my Proline Sluice, LE Sluice, Desert Fox Wheel, and GoldBug 2 to keep me busy and playing in the dirt. I was in Vancover for the EXPO in 1986? Its been a while, and my distant cousin Joe Pao Pao was quarterback for the BC Lions for a few years. I am always willing to learn new techniques, and make new friends. And if anyone is in the area, stop on...

Hello all, I found my way to this forum through some videos on you tube by Cariboo Au, cool stuff man!!

My goal is to own and operate a part time small scale placer operation by the end of next year... I am still in the prospecting part of the adventure and I am having a heck of a time finding the time to get out and hit the creeks! I have crossed about 5 possibles off my list and have a few more to go before I need to go back to the books and find more locations to test. I have...

I just found this forum doing searches on another, so I just wanted to introduce myself. I am in So Cal and new to prospecting. Just picked up my first pan about a month ago, and now I am looking to purchase a sluice and possibly a detector at some point.

I would love to learn from experienced...

We were out a few hours and were on our way back with nothing but the enjoyment of the hike and we...
