I ve been prospecting since i was a child, I spent my teen age years around diamond drills and prospectors. I ve been in and out of the wilderness most of my life.

You know the drill lads, ask away about your local mineral wealth, (except for Florida) ask it here and I ll endeavor to answer.

watch Askjeffwilliam's vids on the subject, there very informative even if hes a total mad man.

I must warn you about getting discouraged the first few times you try it you wont likely find much, dont give up keep looking!

also, if you dont find anything your first few tries, move on to a new spot and try again. I cant tell you how many times i ve seen people give this a shot than get frustrated in a hole and never come back. The golds out there, its ours for the taking, you just have to look...

its spring gents, that means its nearly the start of the 2020 prospecting season. So many claims to check out, so many leads to explore. As soon as the snow leaves its off to the hills again.

First things first I have to get back to the north of BC to see if I can access my silver claims, if I cant do that its back to the placer claims until melt.

If anyone wants info on prospecting ask it here, and i ll get to it eventually. What info on your local areas natural resources? Where to look in creeks for nugget gold? How to stake your claim or similar info ask away!

My main job is prospecting for new deposits, I ll usually spend about 90% of my summer driving around the province between different properties and Vancouver dropping off samples for assey. I do a bit of small scale mining on my properties if I have time or go placer mining if there is nothing else on the table. This year sucked badly for exploration work so I spent the summer mining instead. Hopefully I can make a good return on the concentrates this time around.
