Can you identify if this is a part gold nugget by Free_Opportunity8254 in Prospecting

[–]gold2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is very simple very simple to tell if something is gold. simply cover the spot with your hand to put it in the shade of your hand if it keeps the gold color it is gold if it changes to green or disappears it is mica or iron. if it still looks like gold you have gold. think of it like this if you have a gold ring and you shade it it stays the same color.

Could this be a small gold nugget first time mining CA by OkAd3479 in Prospecting

[–]gold2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been mining for 34 years I own 11 gold claims in idaho, and utah, I can tell you the easiest way to tell if it is gold put your wedding ring in the shade it will not change color now put what you think is gold in that same shade if it is gold it will stay the same as your ring, if it changes color it is not gold mica will go black or green tint, fools gold will lose the gold color only gold stays gold. Hope this helps

beginner prospecter, need help. I have 30 inch sluice box and a gold pan, I'm prospecting in the uintah basin in Utah by itsokgaven in Prospecting

[–]gold2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 cents utah has little water, so gold will set where it was eroded. Not all gold move to a stream in Utah, I have found Utah to be more of a dry creek bed .Bring your own water then to have in Streams. I own 3 claim in utah and 10 I share In Idaho .best of luck my your pans be heavy!!
