Where to Sell Your Prospected Gold
Where to Sell Your Prospected Gold
Once you have accumulated some gold from your gold prospecting, the next questions you might ask is where to sell your prospected gold?In fact it could be a good idea to actually keep and accumulate the gold you prospect for and find. The value has been increasing ever year for several years and, with the current economic climate, is very likely to continue. So stashing away your gold could be a very good idea.
However, if you really want to sell your prospected gold nuggets there are several places you can do so.
Firstly, it is very likely that the place you are prospecting, will have operators who are willing to buy your prospected gold. Even the club or association you belong to or some of their members may be willing to buy your gold. Especially if you were prospecting on an arranged tour. Alternatively, you can seek out gold buyers (and there are plenty of those) on the open market, or even sell your gold nuggets on such places as eBay for example. Scrap gold dealers is another alternative to selling your prospected gold.
A few pointers on selling your gold nuggets. Make sure you are aware of the current price of gold. This does not mean using the current futures price of gold as given on the news such as Sky, CNN etc. Check out the price per ounce being asked for and bought on eBay. eBay gold prices gives you a good idea of the current prices of gold in the market place. Currently these prices will be substantially higher that the gold futures price so THAT is the sort of prices you should be looking for when it comes to selling your gold. These are the prices people are willing to pay for gold in the real market. So who ever you sell your gold to, keep in mind the price you can expect to get.
Gold Field Operators will tend to offer you the gold futures price of gold as "that is the market price on the news." Unless they are willing to offer a decent price it is more worthwhile keeping it and selling it yourself on the open market. If you have a large quantity, such a large gold nugget or a couple of ounces or more, it is a good idea to get it valued by a gold assayer.
eBay will more than likely fetch the market price for gold. Same with other auction houses. A lot can depend on the quality and quantity of gold you are selling. You can get a good price for a large gold nugget but the number of buyers will be less, mostly due to the price.
Scrap Gold Buyers will give you the advertised market price per ounce, much the same as gold field operators. Much will depend on how quickly you want to sell your prospected gold. The quicker you want or need to sell it the cheaper you will sell it for.
Of course you may have the fortune to discover a very large gold nugget. Say 10 or 20 ounces. This is every prospectors dream. But rare as it may be, it does happen of course, and you can command a high price for it. Usually such events make the media and then you would be likely to get some interesting offers for the nugget. Such nuggets can sell at auction houses, such as Sothebys etc for large sums of money.
The longer you keep your gold the more it may increase in value. On the other hand, if you intend to sell your gold, it is really a matter of knowing where to look around to find out where the best market is to sell your prospected gold.

Prospecting for Gold
Prospecting for Gold
The easiest and simplest way prospecting for gold can be done is by panning for gold.Panning for gold is the cheapest way to find gold. Firstly you need to find the best location in the area you are prospecting. Pick a spot where the water is about 6 inches deep and flowing steadily. Just fast enough that you can see the pan in the water and can sit comfortably.
The trick of panning for gold is in the dexterity in using the gold pan and keeping a sharp eye out. Patience is very important as you might spend a long time with no results, but when you do get results the satisfaction will be marvelous.
First, fill the pan with about three quarters gravel. Then submerge it just under the water surface. Give the pan a few shakes from side to side but not to violently. You don’t want to wash material out of the pan just yet.
Then change from the shaking motion to a circular motion swirling the material around in the pan in a circle. This will get most of the dirt and clay to dissolve in the water and make it easier to wash out of the pan. If you find any roots, moss or other debris just pick them over with your fingers to break up any lumps. Often gold can be found clinging to bits of moss and roots or twigs even in the dirt attached to them. So you want to gently dissolve the dirt and clean the debris you find.
Just keep repeating this process until you have got all the rocks and dirt dissolved and up to the surface. The heavier concentrates should sink to the bottom. These will be where you will find the gold. This is really a gentle separation of heavy substances from the light. Gold is heavy and will sink to the bottom but as there might be very tiny particles of gold you do not want to lose them during the swirling. So be gentle and not too rough.
Ok now you need to wash off the lighter sand and dirt and you do this by tilting the pan slightly away from you. Begin to swirl the water side by side with a slight forward tossing motion. Don’t worry you will get the hang of it. Doing this you can spill the lighter material over the side of the pan.
You can level the pan from time to time and shaking it back and forth causing more lighter material to come to the surface which you can get rid of the same way. Just keep doing this and you will end up with about one or two handfuls of heavy material in the base of the pan. This material is generally called "black sand" or "concentrate". This is where you will find your gold.
Now raise the pan out of the water leaving about an inch of water in the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and swirl it around in a circular motion checking for gold nuggets and pieces you can pick out by hand.
Keep repeating this process. It is a critical part of the panning process. Here is where you will find your gold. Hopefully you will have a plastic pan (preferably black so any gold shows up. Use the magnet under the pan and move it in a circular motion with the pan tilted slightly. This will help to isolate gold from the black sand. You will need a strong magnet to reach through the plastic pan, especially if it is thick.
If you do use a steel pan, not recommended as it is quite heavy and subject to rust as well as hindering the use of a magnet, then you will need to remove any oil from the pan before use. You can do this by burning the pan over the hot coals of a camp fire and heating it to a dull red. Then dunk it in water. This not only burns off any residue oil but will also give the pan a bluish hue making it easier to locate gold specks.
Another useful tool is a small bottle of detergent. A couple of drops in the water helps to break up the surface tension f the water and speeds up the operation considerably. If you do this keep in mind the environment and use environmentally friendly detergent.
Some people might tell you that there is no gold left and that it has all been panned out from the rivers and streams. This is not so. Winter rains and storms bring down more water and wash more gold down the river beds. It has been estimated that all the gold minded and discovered is only about 5 percent of that available so prospecting for gold is still a worthwhile activity not to mention a lot of fun.
Gold Prospecting
Gold Prospecting
It is becoming harder and harder to buy gold with the gold supply shortage and bigger demand for gold bullion. The wait period can be several months now for a person wanting to buy gold bullion.Well, an alternative to buying gold bullion is gold prospecting. There is still lots of gold in "them thar hills" and it is not really hard to find with the right knowledge and equipment and a bit of determination. Besides which, imagine the excitement you will feel when you find that beautiful golden nugget worth thousands of dollars after panning in a stream in the fresh open air.
Gold prospecting is the action of searching potential gold deposits or looking for new gold deposits. There are various methods of prospecting for gold and these are not just for the commercial companies. Many a good living is being made, and some fine gold nuggets have been found by what is known as recreational gold prospecting.
How to Prospect for Gold
First one needs to understand a little about how to prospect for gold. For many years panning for gold in streams has been the traditional method of gold prospecting. There are many places around the world where this can and is still done with remarkable results. This is the way to find gold nuggets. Gold nuggets are only found on the surface and usually in streams although sometimes can be found in rock or earth. This sort of gold prospecting is uneconomical to do for large mining companies so there is still a lot of gold available for the prospector with his trusty gold pan or even a metal detector designed to scan the ground for gold. Recreational gold prospecting can be a lot of fun too for the whole family.
The basic gold prospecting techniques include panning, metal detectors and mining.
Gold Panning
Using gold prospecting pans is the simplest and cheapest. One finds an area where gold is known to be found and prospects for "placer gold". "Placer gold" is gold found in deposits of sand or gravel in the beds of streams. The gold pan used is a wide shallow dish, usually black or a dark color to show up any gold found, and the technique is to scope an amount of sediment from the river or stream bead and swirl that around gently in the pan with water, gradually filtering out the sand and gravel from any gold found. It works on a the gravity principle as gold will be heavier than the sand or gravel. Some expertise is needed but, with practice, a person can become quite adept at filtering out the gold from the sand.
Gold Metal Detector
Another gold prospecting technique is to use a metal detector. This is a machine that uses an electromagnetic field generated by the metal detector that is swept over and just under the surface of the ground. When the field meets gold (or any other metal it can be set for) the metal alters the electromagnetic field and this alteration is shown to the user so he or she knows that there is gold there. There are some very basic metal detectors that will basically detect metal and one would have to dig up everything found, from old rusty nails to bright coins or other metal, to very sophisticated models that can be adjusted to pick out gold or another precious metal only even if quite deep down under the surface.
Gold Mining
Mining is the other gold prospecting technique. This is for the more serious minded as it involves a lot of expense and equipment. It can also require the acquisition of mining rights and much more. For most people panning for gold and using metal detectors are the way to go. Especially for gold nugget prospecting!
Gold Prospecting Equipment
The gold prospecting tools needed for a day out depend on the type of gold prospecting you want to do.
Basic gold prospecting tools and equipment should include"
For the more sophisticated there are also sluices, filters, and chemicals to check for the purity of gold plus many more additional tools and equipment.
A gold prospecting pan
Digging implements such as a spade, and smaller ones
Good reliable compass so you don’t get lost
A easy to read and understand map of the area
A means of contact with the outside world, such as a cell phone or other communications device
Gold or metal detector
A book about gold prospecting
Good solid clothing and boots
A quick search on google or msn will get you a heap of suppliers willing to supply you with every imaginable gold prospecting tool you could ever need.
If one is going to camp out for a night or two, then camping equipment and food etc, is a must. Also if one is going to go gold prospecting by oneself and out into the bush or country, it is advisable to inform someone of where you are going and how long you expect to be away.
Where to Prospect for Gold
Of course if we knew where all the gold was, it would have all been removed by now. In fact there are still many pockets of gold in most if not all of the major continents and quite possibly not far from you still available and waiting to be found. It has been estimated that only 5 percent of all the gold in the world has been found so there is still plenty more to find!
A good idea is to join a local gold prospecting club and perhaps, initially, join a gold prospecting tour. You can pick up much valuable information as well as go out with others and learn all the tricks of gold prospecting. One can pick up a lot of experiential information from others who enjoy the fun of gold prospecting. Locating your nearest club, joining in the gold prospecting tours, pouring over gold prospecting maps, all have an air of excitement hard to resist.
There are also a heap of gold prospecting books available from many online and local bookstores from the very simple to the extremely complex.
It should be noted that many areas have laws relating to gold prospecting. These are usually state gold prospecting laws and sometimes a licence is required before someone can go gold prospecting. It is advisable to check with the local authorities or gold prospecting clubs, who will have this sort of information, before venturing forth.
Above all, when going out gold prospecting, it is important to have fun and, who knows, you might be the one to find that big golden nugget worth thousands of dollars.
why gold
Gold (
/ˈɡoʊld/) is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum, "shining dawn", hence adjective, aureate) and an atomic number of 79. It has been a highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since the beginning of recorded history. The native metal occurs as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, usually with tellurium. Gold metal is dense, soft, shiny and the most malleable and ductile pure metal known. Pure gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidizing in air or water. Gold is one of the coinage metals and has served as a symbol of wealth and a store of value throughout history. Gold standards have provided a basis for monetary policies. It also has been linked to a variety of symbolisms and ideologies.
A total of 165,000 tonnes of gold have been mined in human history, as of 2009.[1] This is roughly equivalent to 5.3 billion troy ounces or, in terms of volume, about 8,500 cubic meters, or a 20.4m cube. The world consumption of new gold produced is about 50% in jewelry, 40% in investments, and 10% in industry.
Although primarily used as a store of value, gold has many modern industrial uses including dentistry and electronics. Gold has traditionally found use because of its good resistance to oxidative corrosion and excellent quality as a conductor of electricity.
Chemically, gold is a transition metal. Compared with other metals, pure gold is chemically least reactive, resisting individual acids but being attacked by the acid mixture aqua regia, so named because it desolves gold. Gold also disolves in alkaline solutions of cyanide, which have been used in mining. Gold dissolves in mercury, forming amalgam alloys. Gold is insoluble in nitric acid, which dissolves silver and base metals, a property long been used to confirm the presence of gold in items, and this is the origin of the colloquial term "acid test", referring to a gold standard test for genuine value.
