A Treasure of Free Gold Prospecting Equipment Plans and Commentary-- I gold prospected in Arizona 15 years. Am on a budget working on success mining. If you want gas money, cut corners to get to the claims. I began homemade equipment in 2008. First just looked at other folks' equipment; copied on my own. Took tape measure to a meeting or an outing & measured parts. I looked for plans on the Net. Posting commentary on free plans is offered. URLs are here too.

Bradshaw Mountains, Arizona Crevicing Gold
I went to a club claim this week to get some fresh air. It is one of my favorite claims up in Yavapai County, Arizona.
Have included some photos. My crevicing yielded some placer, not much, but any is good to me. I enjoyed the day with my wife. It is a super place. The Bradshaw Mountains have many old mines and a lot of what flows down the canyon washes comes from them. My claim gets a bit from Crown King, especially after a hard rain, which is what happened a week before. Anyway, here are some photos.

"livescience" Reveals New Data on Gold Deposit Formation
Here is an interesting scientific study showing the time it can take to form gold. A gold deposit named Ladolam on Lihir Island in Papua New Guinea is the site of an interesting finding. Out of a valcano in rising hot water, a gold deposit was formed in 55,000 years. That is, ONLY 55,000 years! Since the planet Earth is billions of years old, 55,000 years is but a drop in the bucket. Check this out for more information about gold formation, sampling, total mieable gold in Ladolam, and how technology there leads to green solutions.
