Arizona Gold Detecting

Arizona gold nugget detecting in Western Arizona. Gold nuggets are still being found in the old Arizona gold placer areas. Gold prospecting is fun but, has many hazards. Here I’m using the new White’s TDI metal detector for the 1st. time.

Finding Placer Gold

Finding Placer Gold

A good idea on how to prospect an area for placer gold deposits.

The best way is to sample a large area and collect the black sands and heavies to compare for any differences…….study bedrock zones around you for miles on all four corners…….study rocks in all samples you dig in sampling holes and up any water ways………..after time you will get a good idea what’s modern or pre-glacial to ancient………you will for the most part see the differences right away from the modern channels and so on………Take care.

Placer Mining

Placer Mining

PLACER GOLD: The name is sometimes said to derive from Spanish placer, meaning “to please,” (pleasure) because it is easy mining as compared with others. However, the origin of the word is actually from Spanish, placer meaning shoal or alluvial/sand deposit, from Catalan placer, (shoal), from plassa, (place) from Medieval Latin placea (place) the origin word for place and plaza in English. The word in Spanish is thus ultimately derived from placea and refers directly to an alluvial or glacial deposit of sand or gravel.
