    Ep. 24 - How to Test Your Ground and Find the Paystreak

    You've found a promising creek, hillside, or desert wash — but where do you start digging? In this episode of Gold Mining Tips, host Andrew teaches beginners the systematic art of sampling and testing your ground.  For more information about Gold Mining Tips, visit: 🌐 https://linktr.ee/Goldminingtips Our Book: How and where to find gold Our new course: Gold Prospecting and Mining Course **Essential Sampling & Testing Kit for the Beginner Prospector: ** Shovel or Trowel – A sturdy, sharp‑nosed shovel for general digging; a hand trowel for tight spots and crevices. Auger or Post‑Hole Digger – For taking consistent, deeper samples in gravel or soil without collapsing the hole. Crevicing Tools – A long‑handled screwdriver, paint scraper, whisk broom, and dustpan for cleaning out bedrock cracks. Sample Containers – Heavy‑duty zip‑lock bags or small cloth sample sacks, pre‑labelled with grid coordinates. Permanent Marker & Notebook / Journal – To label and document every sample (record depth, location, and visual observations on the spot). GPS or Phone with Offline Maps – For accurately marking grid intersections and sample points; a handheld GPS is more reliable in remote areas. Measuring Tape & Stakes / Flagging – A 100‑foot tape and bright flagging tape for laying out grids or marking key targets. Gold Pan & Classifier Set – A 14‑inch pan and a set of mesh classifiers (1/4″, 1/8″, etc.) to process samples and quickly gauge gold content. Hand Lens (10x Loupe) – To examine black sands, quartz, and tiny gold specks in the field. Magnet – A small, strong magnet (or a magnet in a plastic bag) to pull black sand from concentrates and check for magnetic minerals. Buckets – At least two 5‑gallon buckets: one for carrying sample dirt, one for water or recirculating panning setup. Safety Gear – Sturdy boots, gloves, sun protection, and plenty of drinking water. A satellite messenger if out of cell range. Optional but Highly Recommended for Progression: A portable recirculating sluice or small puffer dry‑washer for processing larger samples on‑site. A geological hammer and chisel for breaking quartz or bedrock. A phone camera to photograph anomalies and sample sites as a backup record. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
