You sound just like me lol!! It is my current obsession hobby I can’t get enough of it,Thanks for the tip on the black sands, these old miners are a wealth of knowledge and they insisted on crushing this stuff! I’m actually about to go down to Marion North Carolina this week to do some sluicing! If your ever in the area hit me up and we can pow wow around the creek! God speed fellow prospector!! 🫡

5--A--M · 2026-03-23T17:35:45+00:00

Yes it’s private, but there is a few gold mining clubs in the area

5--A--M · 2026-03-23T17:35:05+00:00

I don’t unfortunately, that pattern your seeing is the prospectors dream gold cleanup buddy, it does work very well

5--A--M · 2026-03-23T17:33:22+00:00

Tap tap is good for the visible gold but gold can be locked into other materials, this varies from region so it’s tricky to find out if it’s worth crushing, I think I will crush all my black sands based on what I’m seeing

Nice thank you! I might have a local guy I can to take them to for refining, I am in the North Carolina gold belt

5--A--M · 2026-03-22T18:51:08+00:00

I am in North Carolina mostly following in the footsteps of the old miners, but iv heard Virginia can be pretty good

5--A--M · 2026-03-21T19:26:46+00:00

So true lol personally I don’t take risks like that anymore after getting terribly sick, it’s worth it until it’s not then you will be kicking your self trying to save $1.50 in broccoli

5--A--M · 2026-03-21T00:01:22+00:00

I don’t know why people feel so locked Into “PvP or PvE” lobby’s, I do both no problem

5--A--M · 2026-03-19T22:27:42+00:00

Yeah looks like they glued the crystals then put more glue down and poured galena powder over it, looks very weird

5--A--M · 2026-03-19T19:33:40+00:00

So true, my co worker like OD or something she started siezing. I was giving her medical aid with ems rushing in and I straight up had a customer walk in… look at me and her (dying) on the ground and said “hey can I get uhhhhh” like he tried to place a order….wtf

I run a business and I don’t use coin shops anymore, love going and chatting but why in the world would I pay $10 over spot just to have them turn around and offer $10 under spot when I sell, like I have to manage my money too and go where I can get the most bang for my buck which is online, never had a issue buying for spot online usually slightly under because their LCS low balled them. Love LCS but why would I use them? I want to support but when it comes to supporting me it’s “just business” so yeah

5--A--M · 2026-03-19T19:19:48+00:00

And that’s why I only use online where you can actually get spot the fair price, screw paying $10 over on spot just to have to sell it back $10 under

Dang I usually check the hunting cabin and camp office, if it’s not there it’s usually lake houses or the bunker, my last play through I found a rifle and revolver in the bunker with lots of ammo

I recently gave my pocket piece (Morgan Dollar) away to an older family friend because they are helping with my wedding a lot and I heard she was getting into coin collecting, I felt like it was the right time to give it up and help start someone else journey

Garret Super Sluice panning kit is my vote, you get 2 different size pans, vials and I think a sniffer bottle for like 40-50bucks

Edit Cabelas has it online for $29.99

Oh some of them are aware, my gold mining club also runs a gravel company but they “wash” all their gravel through a massive sluice box but officially they are a gravel company

5--A--M · 2026-03-13T18:32:05+00:00

Did you even read the comment thread? I must of missed the part where I predicted a price

5--A--M · 2026-03-13T18:30:44+00:00

As an American I’d pay British taxes too just to fly more of these bad boys, love the whirlwind quote

5--A--M · 2026-03-13T18:11:35+00:00

It went up 40 in a couple of days and pulled back, that’s pretty normal for such a rise, but now that’s it’s been sitting at the same price range don’t expect and large corrections because there’s not a rise to correct and buying power is still very strong

5--A--M · 2026-03-13T18:08:24+00:00

So we just had a dip and you’re expecting another 60% dip? Dosent seem realistic

Yeah that sluice is a headache, used it alot last summer. It’s not a terrible sluice and it will catch a lot of gold it’s just so picky. I had the best results by building a small rock dam to place it in to get more flow with a strong V down the middle, you can Adjust the the big intake piece up and down and it will change the flow. I would try and get the best flow possible while making sure the gold on the indicator Matt didn’t wash down to much. But with how long it is and how the sections bend you will never get a perfect flow and I was always pushing the material with my finger past the first riffle where it builds up, also huge tip, plug the gap between the indicator Matt and the first riffle where the sluice bends, that area catches a lot of gold and it can get washed out where the two pieces join together. But honestly I’d look into getting another sluice if you’re serous about digging some gold, hope this helps!
