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.

Separating the Fines Of Gold
Try reading my latest article on the Blue Bowl Concentrator. This device is judged by many as the best separator of fine gold. Fine gold concentrate panning is arduous and monotonous. But a Blue Bowl will recover gold as fine as powder and is much easier on the back. Learn the advantages of the Blue Bowl: how to run it and why it works the way it does.
