Getting Your Gold
Best place to find gold is where its already been found like they say
And joining one of the local clubs assures this there all on the best ground out here in arizona ,Also remember most of these areas has been worked in the past for over  80 years first by early miners then by the mexican miners then by club members all these years theres plenty of gold left its just harder to find and in far less amounts than the old timers got back in the day thats for sure .So you really have to work hard to get some good amounts . Find a promising spot on a claim I like to look for really heavy mineralized soils as far as black sand goes
that  is not as intuitive out here in arizona as other places black sand is everywhere out here I look for good wash areas and dig out behind under boulders down to a solid bedrock caliache a cement like material that forms here or hard clay bottom here the small gold sits in all the little  cracks and crevices a paint bush out here is just as important as a shovel get in and brush the material out of those cracks theres where you going to get your gold .
