"With $737,000,000,000 of Gold Still in the Ground,
Finding Gold is a Sure Thing!"
This is a picture from over a quarter of a century ago when I started Gold Prospecting.
Let me help you get a successful start. "There is no substitute for experience, even if it's someone elses!"
Finding Gold is quite possibly the most exciting and fastest growing recreational activity of modern times.
It is an excellent, economical outdoor activity that the entire family can enjoy together.
Both private and government sources believe that at least 80% of the gold native to the
USA is still in the ground waiting to be found. Based on the recorded amount of gold
that has been removed, the 80% that is left would be over a billion ounces. At today’s
(November 2007) market price of gold, $737 per troy ounce, the value of a billion
ounces is $737,000.000,000.
THAT IS 737 BILLION DOLLARS !!!
I have researched every location in the USA where gold has been reported, or recorded,
and documented the amounts by state and county, or mining district. If you were looking
for sea shells, you would go to a beach. If you are looking for gold, go to an area where it
is known to exist. The history of gold in the USA began over 200 years ago, and continues
today. Become a recreational gold prospector, and you will become a part of that history.
Finding gold in the USA is a richly rewarding recreation. Work at it hard, and it can bring
you wealth. Do it as a hobby and you will treasure the wonderful experiences as well as
the amount of gold that you find. Join a club and you will enjoy wholesome family outings.
There are four tabs in the border on the left side of the page next to my picture above. Clicking on those tabs, or clicking on the links below,
will take you to pages of helpful and interesting information on each subject. I have included 6 pages about the 5 Gold Rushes that have occurred
in the USA since 1829. Click either place on the GOLD-RUSHES. The page you
go to will explain a little about each gold rush, and there will be links there to take you to a page that is devoted to each one.
Click the tab below that one, or here on REAL-GOLD for a page of very
interesting, and important information about gold. Other links on that page will take you to the pages that are devoted to more detail about
who owns the gold, what open areas are, national clubs and very important facts about gold that will help you locate it on a claim.
Then click on the third tab, or here on RECOVERING-GOLD for
information on various ways to recover the gold. Links on that page will take you to other pages that are devoted to explaining each of the ways.
Then click on the last tab, or here on GOLD-CLUBS for information
listing over 100 local gold prospecting clubs, and more than 250 mining claims in 25 states of the USA as well as 10 claims in Canada.
There are links in that list that will take you to pages that detail the north-west, south-west, mid-west, north-east and
south-east areas of the USA. Each area lists the names of the local gold prospecting clubs and the contact person (when available) by city and state.
I grew up hunting and fishing in the mid-west, but it wasn't until I moved to California in 1977 that I found the most facinating,
interesting and rewarding recreational activity I've ever known . . . . GOLD PROSPECTING !
I sincerely hope you enjoy this information, and that you will decide to become a recreational gold prospector and . . . .
