    Geological Maps - information and questions

    Thats actually a complex question. A is Archean which is the correct geological age for WA gold AB might simply indicate Archean Bedrock which can be good for gold. Think of the rocks as a part of the recipe for locating gold, rocks are not the answer in the same way that Flour is not the...

    Method in the madness

    Spoon is correct. If the structures trend North South you would zig zag across it walking East West, slowly headed North for example If you walk parallel to the fault it is more than possible to completely miss the gold

    Metal Detector advice High end over ~ $3000

    NF Advantage versus NF Evolution 14x9

    Prospecting / Gold Related TV Shows.

    I can tell you all ALOT about the conglomerate gold. The excitement is justified in the prospecting world. Mining companies are finding it a bit of a challenge.

    Steel Phase Amplifier

    Hey Steel Pat, Just a quick question about availability of the SP01. Seems to be in short supply (very popular) what sort of time frame are we looking at to see them back on the shelves ?
