There's gold in them thar hills !

[shootnstarz]

A .65 gram 22k nugget captured at Grisson Mine, Dahlonega GA. My total haul for $100 worth of unseeded natural
pay dirt was 1.32 grams, worth $68 for gold but panning is rarely profitable, it's strictly for fun. If you're worried about investments buy bullion instead.

I'm sure your probably one of the luckier ones too. I'm Curious as to how much dirt you get for 100.00?

It's mined from an open pit quartz mine in Dahlonega, GA, crushed in a 100 year old stamp mill, concentrated using a trommel and then sold by the gallon at 15/1, 30/1 or 75/1 concentrate, Grisson Mine. Prices for 1 gallon pay dirt are $60, $100 or $175 respectively, plus shipping. They claim there's nothing added, nothing taken away. Also sell unconcentrated pay dirt of $20 for a 5 gallon bag.

I've always found Au in every bag I've bought from them, this time being the best and never a less than 50% ROI, usually around 65-70%. But there's no guarantees on finding anything there, all part of the thrill of the hunt. They also have places to pan for gold and gemstones, I think it's $15 to pan, visit the mill and all the old mining equipment, and some new mining equipment.

I do it for all for fun and enjoyment, I expect to find very little, if any, in the wild when I go to any of the GPAA leases, those folks use $10K dredges. Until then I practice my panning skills.

Have you ever tried any of the creeks and rivers around here? I hear most have gold somewhere.

Not yet, I'm super new to this endeavor but I've been researching it extensively. The only gold in Florida is from shipwrecks or tourist losing their jewelry. Being a newby I will depend on the GPAA and the Alabama Gold Camp for prospecting until I get more experience. Unless you have a claim you have to use public land, rent a gold camp, GPAA lease or rent a lease from the claim owner, usually by the day.

I've done some up there years ago. It's hard work and you earn every dime. But it is exciting when you see color in your pan.

 

[shootnstarz]

I love hard work, I'll watch it all day long.

I have an electrical water wheel gold planner for sale, if you get tired of panning by hand or want to do higher volume. I bought it when I was doing salvage work on the 1715 fleet in south Florida. For awhile, we were dredging and getting gold nuggets and chain fragments from the 1715 fleet wrecks. But we aren’t doing as much dredging anymore, and concentrating on larger artifacts, coins, and jewelry now. Some recent finds from this year.

I got a bucket o dirt I'll sell you cheap (well cheaper than what you're paying anyway).

Took the kids there when we lived in Columbus. Super fun time! Daughter found a big old garnet or some gem type green thing... shes still convinced its a treasure beyond her wildest dreams. Good times though in Dahlonega!

Hell - I will guarantee there is $25 worth of gold in every $100 bucket!

That's great, that's what it's all about.....FUN. My wife likes rocks so I bought her some gemstones, she enjoyed mining and cleaning them and now going to polish'um up. BTW, they got robbed at gunpoint last FEB, took 100K worth of jewelry, nuggets and cash. Still haven't found him.

Yeah but aren't you still on Claim 1 on that other issue with the impact driver?

No. We are done with those claims. Everyone gave up after we put in the automated phone system. It takes about 5 hour and 1,000 numbers put in to get to a real person.

Keltec actually just called us to take over their complaint line.

Merican ingenuity.

Nice ring. I'm guessing that's not for sale?

It will be eventually, but it has to go through state approval and division first, it will probably be auctioned through Sedgwick’s, and is estimated to go for $50k.

I got $500 cash for you.

I’m not the one selling it, it belongs to the company that I work for. However, when it goes to auction, you can always submit your bid, lol. It’s insane what certified 1715 fleet treasure items go for, and this is the first ring like this, recovered in probably 20+ years.
