As we take our first step in publishing the “Prospectors Journal”. We will strive to be the premier resource for, prospecting for gold and gems, mining, and in depth information about the whole world of hard rock and placer mining. Will write about the best ways known to man on finding gold and gold nuggets, and gems on the World Wide Web!

Gold is where you find it. Gold is one of the rarest elements on Earth, and gold has been the exchange of trade and the driving force for much of the commerce throughout the world. For millennium, prospectors have gone on the search for the allusive metal left their comfort zones to seek this waiting in the ground hidden wealth.

Some of the first prospectors ventured out into California’s famous Mother Lode country; weathered the harsh and unforgiving wilderness of Alaska and the gold in the Klondike

They traversed the gold districts of America and traveled to far off and unknown lands throughout the globe.

Gold in the ground is still the ultimate find!

If you’re a gold prospector or a rare gem collector? Please spend a moment to check our new website at: www.prospectorsjournal.com There you will find wonderful and practical resources to help you educate yourself and hopefully speed up your search for finding gold.

Learn how to look for and find gold; educate yourself on where to find it and where others have already found it. How it can best be economically extracted from Mother Earth. And while you’re at it enjoy the beautiful American out doors.

Man has been finding gold for a very long time there is still more new gold to be found then has been since the beginning of time. Today’s gold prospectors are digging up huge amounts of gold through new hard rock and placer discoveries, and there are large nuggets still to be found.

These new discoveries are often in areas where men have found gold in the past; even today new gold is being discovered in unknown areas capable of starting a new modern gold rush.

I’ve been prospecting and mining gold for well over fifty years from Alaska to South America, and all in between.

My family and I now reside in Orange County California and we have found gold within twenty minutes of our house. If you live anywhere in the 13 Western States, you likely close to gold bearing ground. It’s just a matter of finding it. I suggest you do your home work before you set out to find any of that precious metal. Search on our web site, as well as many other helpful sites. Read all the books on the subject you can get your hands on and some times the older the better. Search old gold location maps.

Joining a gold prospecting club is a great way to meet other people with the same interest, and also to learn more about it and discover the best places to find this prized treasure. You'll find clubs across the nation, and more in those states where more gold tends to be found.

Then be prepared make sure you have all the equipment you will need and the most important is water. Then set out (not alone) and scout the likely known places you found in your research closest to home. You can branch out from there when you are ready. Good luck and send us lots of personal stories of your prospecting adventures with lots of photos vidios.
