In December 2019 Kevin and I shared the prospecting that you could do within the 300-foot buffer in selected California waterways. This time we open up the rest of the land with the opportunities awaiting all prospectors at 301 feet.
Along with offering tips on maximizing your gold recovery when and where drawing water is not the best option for recovery.

With the new email addresses pending KB and I invited listeners to send in their questions and comments. The response to the invitation generated a lot of questions and one very frustrated new to detecting, Detectorist.
I cover my thoughts on his detector and what I believe may be the problem and answer a couple of other great questions from prospectors about recovery methods and detecting soreness and fatigue.
Plus a special announcement about the future plans of the On The Gold podcast.
Thank you to everyone for tuning into the On The Gold Podcast!

Over the last four months, the On The Gold Podcast has grown faster than I ever expected. The listeners and subscribers have far exceeded what I even conservatively estimated and for that, I say Thank You.
2020 Will be the Year of the Prospector. KB and I drop a couple of hints as to what to expect. We have two more Podcasts to see 2019 out and bring 2020 in then it is time to buckle up.
Have a safe and enjoyable Christmas with family and friends. I'll be heading out early for my yearly Christmas day prospecting adventure. Looking for another Christmas Nugget to add to the poke.
5N5 Production Panning

Production Panning is about using specialized gold pans that allow you to move great amounts of material in a quick efficient manner creating more concentrates in less time.
Gold is forced downward and trapped in a closed system where it is virtually impossible to lose.
This 5N5 is not really structured, more of a conversation where I hit the record button and let it go where it wanted.

Many people believe that the moratorium on dredging in California has all but stopped prospecting in the state. This is just not true. There are a number of different methods of recovering gold at and around the state's waterways that are efficient and productive.
I sat down with CA GPAA State Director Kevin Bell and discussed a few options for getting on the gold.
This is a two-part series in part 1 we talk about Production Panning, Sluicing and using a Rocker Box in the stream to the 300-foot line set forth by the state for mechanized and motorized equipment.
In part 2 it is everything past the 300 foot boundery.
Old vs. New ground, confidence, tenacity, research & willingness to do more.

Chris and I sat down for another amazing chance to discuss and share with you what it takes to live the essence of a prospector and setting out to find new spots.
Many prospectors become lost when it comes to getting out to search for new areas to mine. Looking for new gold can be a confidence destroyer and for some enough to make them quit prospecting. Old spots offer diminishing returns at some point and the courage and tools needed to find new gold is more than just going somewhere else.

Kevin Bell, Chris Ralph and I sat down to talk about Rules of Thumb associated with prospecting and when they do and more importantly when they do not apply.
I have been very open in saying that the 3 major Rules of Thumb can be truly detrimental to new prospectors and that teaching or even discussing these 3 as if they are facts, causes many new Prospectors to just give up.
5N5 ALMOST Kevin & Chris talk about using discrimination while detecting.

Chris Ralph and I sat down down to talk about using discrimination on your metal detector while prospecting for gold.
There is a time and a place for everything, or is there? Understanding that there are three types of discrim, Ferrous - Non Ferrous and one other type, will help you to be a better Gold Detectorist. More importantly, when and when not to use discrimination.
Thank you for NOT Prospecting

Kevin Bell gives a big "Thank You" to a prospector for not prospecting and leaving some of the best gold that they have found on their Thursday Mining Day under his tailings.
Of course, this leads to training about trending, $$$ per yard, visual prospecting above and below the ground level and the failings of us old-timers for letting new prospectors follow some of the rules of thumb.
