The stolen 25 lb gold bar is missing, mother & son murdered in Montana, one suspect is being questioned may be released, another unknown person (about 60 year old) was last one seen with the mother.
If someone tries to sell a large amount of gold (Apx $500,000) contact Powell County Sheriff's Office Mt.
I used to believe that people talked about government conspiracies and secret government agendas were a little far out. But, as all prospectors, we are all well aware of the California dredging ban, the BLM and forestry closing of roads and the federal government creating huge wilderness areas where about the only thing the public can do in these areas is walk through them (In some areas I understand the public is not even allowed to walk through).it seems quite obvious that the leftist environmental wackos have a firm hold of both state and federal government policies.
One of the tried and true techniques of the left to push their agenda of moving the masses into the cities and not allowing use of our own natural resources or imposing restrictions on use of public lands has been the manipulation or suppression of true scientific data.
I could go on and on here, but I'm sure many of you would think that I was probably far out there. But, before you make that conclusion, please take a look at this video (through the link below) that conclusively proves my point. Although the video deals with the removal of dams in northern California, the tactics used are exactly the same as being used in California to justify the recreational gold dredging ban.
Manipulation of Science to Push Leftist Agenda
Saturday I went to the Hill solo and had been prospecting for about 2 1/2 hours when I heard some one Yelling Hello. Not real comon to run in to any one up there I walked back to the Truck to find my Son Heath and his friend Angelo (both Members on this site) had driven down from Albany Oregon for a suprise visit.
They are both New to prospecting so we spent the day cleaning Cracks and crevises and talking the geology of gold
Gold was found in every pan !
All an All a most perfect weekend !!!
You will find gold in different spot in streams. Water is the primary agent in the creation of most placer deposits. Moving water can contain huge amounts of sentiment materials, by way of fine silt to large river rocks, especially in the course of run-off time periods. When freed from the particular mountain by means of weathering, gold is usually added to stream waters along with rock debris, and it is moved down by way of the stream. Where streams meander you can find gold, if it goes over falls you can find gold, or are deflected around rocks is good place to find gold, if a drop in water velocity takes place you can often times find gold, and the gold drops out there. Extended agitation by way of water causes gold to settle all the way down through the gravel right up until reaching bedrock or an impenetrable clay layer that is where you find gold nuggets. These concentrations are known as pay streaks that would be nice to find gold pay streaks.
The best locations to uncover gold exist wherever turbulence change to slower-moving waters flow. Check out slower moving water down below rapids and waterfalls, deepened pools, and the downstream section involving big chunks of rock. On the inside turns of meanders, upstream ends with fine sand as well as 'point" bars are good locations for you to pan fine gold, which can be replaced each year during runoff. Bedrock crevices or pockets acting as natural riffles can accumulate gold. Scoop out there and pan material from these places. Spring, very early summer months, and just before freeze within the fall are wonderful points during the year to go panning. Water is low and gold-bearing rock is exposed which makes it easier to find gold. To lessen resource damage, restrict excavating to active, unvegetated stream gravels.
The basic equipment is quite simple and requires only a minimum investment. A gold pan is most important. Metal pans were used by early prospectors; modem versions are plastic with built-in riffles. In a pinch, frying pans and even hub caps will work. New metal pans generally come with a coating of grease and should be cleaned thoroughly by heating over an open fire. The pan will rust, but some rust is beneficial for collecting fine gold and help find gold.
Suggested equipment to find gold.
Good luck on you next trip to find gold it will pay off some day.

For though’s of you gold prospectors things to look for when locating or discovering an ancient riverbed gravels to harvest for the weekend gold prospectors. Might be common sense to some, but to others.. it might be helpful!
For the weekend Gold prospectors this glacial rock, mud and gold materiel may have been pulled off a valley floor as the glacier advanced foreword or it may have came off the valley rock walls as a result of freezing and thawing wedging or landslides. Moraines may be made of deb-re in size from silt-sized genealogical flour to huge boulders. The debris is mostly sub-angular to rounded in shape as it is ground up by the weight of ice. Moraines may be on the glacier’s surface or left as piles or sheets of debris where glaciers has melted.
Glacial drifts in the Midwestern and North Eastern United States. These areas were previously not widely known for gold occurrences, but after increased attention they have surprised a lot of people with the amounts of gold now been recovered.
To give a little background, understand that during the ice ages, (both Wisconsin and Illinois stages), the glaciers acted like giant bulldozers pushing enormous amounts of rocks and (gold bearing) gravel down from the sources in Canada many states were completely covered by the glaciers and (left with) moraine (gravel) deposits in bands (see moraine deposits, maps of Michigan, etc.). we also show the Moraine terminus (Southern extent) in all of the Midwestern and northeastern states certain states have incomplete (NY, PA, NJ, MN), or no specific (NH, VT, MA, CT, RI, ME) Moraine information by researching state or regional glaciation books (. Available at college geology apartments or in state geological surveys), you can then determine more specific Moraine deposit locations. Another way of determining moraine locations locally is by simply locating area gravel pits.
