Finding gold and using the right equipment at a minimal expense.

Finding enough gold to live a comfortable life. I'd like to have a better idea of what equipment is necessary to find placer gold only in the U.S. in the ancient riverbeds and exactly what the bare minimum equipment is needed and what make of detectors, etc. should be purchased to do so without emptying my bank account, since I'm now retired and living on about 1/4th of what I used to make as an engineer. If you can help me out I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Go to the Google search engine page and type in the keyword search phrase GOLD SNIPING. Learn to be a Gold Sniper! That is actually my favorite form of gold mining now.

A good sniper (Or crevicer) can usually find more than 1/4 oz. of gold per day, and often quite a bit more. The beauty of this is that your entire outlay for equipment is way less $100.

 Sniping
by: Jack

Jerry,

Stan is right. Sniping is by far the easiest and cheapest way to find gold. I have done it successfully on my claim in southern Oregon. Here is all you need. A screw driver that you don't mind ruining. A couple of old spoons, an old knife that you have bent the end to allow you to scoop out cracks,a gold pan, possibly a stiff brush. with these tools, you can walk a gold bearing creek, and working the cracks and crevices, find enough gold to pay yourself well.

I have thousands of dollars invested in metal detectors and other equipment, but all you really need are a few hand tools, and a gold bearing stream, and enough sense to work the cracks and crevices.
