There is also a statistics page I have made for people who are interested in such things as how many records mention 'gold' only per state and per county, and the guange (waste material) associated with gold.

There are many basic tools required to find and work mineral claims. The low-budget prospector only needs the three basics: a shovel, a bucket, and a gold pan (and a source of water) to get started; people who have been seized by the gold prospecting fever can end up buying, and perhaps even needing, equipment to work a prospect and turn it into a producing mine. To recover enough gold to make the labor worth doing, the three basics (above) are not enough. Some of the items used to recover gold are:

  • Classifiers, Screens and Sieves
  • Digging Tools - picks, rakes, shovels
  • Gold Pans and Gold Panning Kits
  • Dry Washers for desert areas
  • Highbankers (Power Sluice boxs)
  • Black Sand Concentrators
  • Hand Dredge
  • Rock Crusher / sample ore crusher
  • Crevice Tools
  • Snuffer Bottles
  • Miners Moss
  • Sluice Carpet Mat / ribbed vinyl matting
  • Metal detector
  • Face mask / dust mask
  • Digging Trowel
  • "Gold Cube" Concentrator
  • Automatic Gold Panners
  • Books on how to find gold
