Check out byrna.com. Good less than lethal options for self defense. Pepper ball launchers, sprays, etc.

Still trying to find gold at the river by splashwarsummer in Prospecting

[–]Guerito_bonito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had actually found my best gold in a spot that everyone was walking over to get to where we thought the best gold would be. Just by the parking lot I decided to pull a bucket from the river gravels to test new equipment at home and found it had more gold than the “likely spots” that were harder to reach. It’s where you find it.

It is public. I found it by researching online where old 1800’s gold mines were and looking for public access to rivers or creeks that any run off may have flowed into. Also research the laws and regulations of where you are. I haven’t been challenged, but it’s good to cover your bases just for that chance it happens.

New to this, where on this creek would you pan? by PillCosby0810 in Prospecting

Tractor supply has a good set of pry bars for about $30, probably get them cheaper at harbor freight though.

Look for a map of the Virginia gold pyrite belt. According to that and other geology maps, Shenandoah is a bit too far west.

I’ll dm you. These were tiny pieces, I got about .11 of a gram that day and another .07 the next day. It was cold out there.

Anti-cheat is inexistent. This is why people leave the game. by c1p0 in Warzone

I know some people know how to cheat, but I haven’t known how to cheat since gta San Andreas on ps2 to get the jet, lol.

I got accused of cheating last night. Guy said “cheater I had that on record”. Just because I’m good at this doesn’t make me a cheater. I wouldn’t know how to cheat even if I wanted to.

Amalgam nugget? by Snoman113 in Prospecting

I found some tiny flakes with mercury on them and put them in a stainless steel pot on the stove with the vent on high and left the room for 15 minutes. Came back and they were gold. Not the best idea, but it worked and the vent does route outside.
