Golden Legends: Tales of Buried Treasure -A plethora of stories- gold treasure worldwide 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.

Ghost Town and Treasure Finds State by State
I have found a very interesting website that is focusing on outdoors activities. Among those activities is prospecting, research, and metal detecting. If you are from Arizona, you certainly have heard about ghost towns and treasure stories. But, have you found a site that is a repository for information about old mining towns (ghost towns) and their locations across America? Not only is the free research and information available, but those selling information are included. The company is out of Washington. It is worth a look.
