NATIVE GOLD SPECIMEN from CALIFORNIA Ruler is 1/4″ wide (6 mm). U.S. 10 cent coin is 17 mm in diameter. Specimen weight: 44.7 Grains (Troy) – 2.85 Gram Size: 14.6X13.1X8 mm Here’s a rich slug of red rock from the Sierra Nevada Mtns. in California. This baby’s stuffed with gold and rips on my detector. You get to see here how gold looks inside it’s host. The featured specimen has matrix unlike any other I’ve seen. The gold intrusions are guaranteed naturally-occurring meaning it’s not man-made; nobody glued it there. Nor is it mica, pyrite, or glistening rock (generally the result of light reflecting off shiny, micaceous rock). I’m not keen on fakery and have lost money buying faux specimens before. Amazing how many dealers would take advantage of the golden lure by using trickery and optical illusions to sell buyers on the idea that “everything that glitters is gold”. For many years, placer-mining was my vocation. Gold’s been my main trade for over 45 years. When not mining, I worked with gold using a torch to fashion nuggets into jewelry. The dream, back then, was to find a wash full of gold-bearing rocks like this. For anyone who spends time in gold country, there’s always the chance he might stumble on a fortune. Luck plays such a huge part in this business. “Some men go searching for rivers of gold. Write about their busy lives as the stories unfold.” (from Rivers of Gold by me, Gene Ralph) U.S. SHIPPING – $10.00 (includes USPS priority box to all U.S. destinations) INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS S&H $60.00 (via priority box) FAST REFUND OFFERED (If, for any reason, you’re not happy with this item).

I poured through old mining dumps for years looking at orange-yellow-rusty rock through a loupe, but I never found a piece with visible gold. This specimen comes from one of the many gold deposits discovered in The Golden State of California, U.S.A.

With present-day gold prices, some of the ground rules have changed. Paydirt isn’t what it used to be. A real go-getter can do well working dirt old timers might have vacated twenty years ago; but otherwise, most things about mining haven’t changed one iota. Gold has to be in the ground. There’s still no easy ounces. The 49ers left a lot of the filthy stuff, but if some claim’s been pummeled by a succession of miners, there may not be enough left to justify prudent men expending time, money, and effort trying to recover it. So there’s more to proving up, i.e. assessing a claim, than meets the eye. Past mining activity should be taken into account. The fact that a property was worked hard tells you maybe there was boo coo gold there to begin with. That could be a favorable sign or just the opposite. I’ve tried squeezing gold out of hammered by Celestials (the Chinese miners). Chances of making one of those claims pay are mighty slim. Today’s miners have to prove enough gold remains in the ground to start up their operation. How is this accomplished? There’s no way unless the property’s rendered fully accessible. The reality is most claims are acquired without knowing what’s there. A prospector needs to physically open up and test every conceivable zone where gold-bearing alluvium might reside. If he’s unable to for whatever reason, there’s no way to know if it’s a bona fide gold mine or just another worthless ‘money pit’. Testing programs must be thorough. In my travels, I have yet to witness a comprehensive mineralogical evaluation of the entire sedimentary mass. When viewed in that light, quantitative and qualitative bulk sampling is a crucial phase. In their haste to get rich quick and lacking an analytical, inquiring mindset, miners often skip these elements entirely. Once ‘boots are on the ground’, it only takes a cursory look around at properties to see what challenges await. Comprehensive testing invariably poses a daunting challenge. Who bothers to consider what all those loose, unconsolidated rocks laying around the landscape might have in them, right? After all, we’re only after the gold we can see, the ‘free gold’, right? Yep. That’s pretty much how she usually goes. O.K. so you’re not interested in the bigger pictures. I get that. Speaking for myself, I walked away from many claims without ever really knowing what kind of values I had abandoned. Like most of you, my main objective was trying to recover only the gold I could visually see. For sake of this discussion then, lets focus on those values i.e. the gold you can see, not gold locked up inside float rock or ultra-fine colloidial gold. In a hundred and fifty years, the interval since a given property was last mined, all drainages flowing through it, whether wetland or dry, may have witnessed a hundred and fifty flood stages. There were landslides, forest fires, assorted excavations including mining activity not readily noticeable. That 150 year period represents a heap of natural erosion, reclamation, and revegetation. Remote leads, even old relic diggings from earlier days, elude a quick discovery. A deep search becomes necessary. Who knows how thorough the old timers were when it’s impossible to tell where they actually mined? On some properties, it often comes as a pleasant surprise to discover how truly sloppy and inefficient the old timers were. Some promoters trying to sell claims usually say “feel free to come test our claim”. While such offers are certainly better than none, running a few test pans or buckets of dirt along the shoreline won’t prove how much minable gold remains. It’s been my experience that easy-to-find-gold is often just a tease planted by Mother Nature. She plays tricks known to confuse the easily-duped prospector. After recent flood waters recede, it’s possible that a skimpy stringer of color was left behind. Some blundering prospector walks down to the water’s edge, scratches out a crack, pans it and ‘voila’. Yeller! A brief but oh so exciting eureka moment unfolds. Then too, it wouldn’t be the first time some claim was salted by a cagy promoter. Under-sampling causes inaccurate assessments which, in the long run, do more harm than good. In mountainous terrain, placer gold deposits, and the formations which hold them, are deceptively hard to locate. Many formations containing minable values defy accurate testing. Rock piles, massive boulders, trees, boulder packs, root systems, deep, water-filled pools, high benches, thick vegetation; bottom-lands covered with overburden; there’s no limit to the obstacles nature throws into the groping prospector’s path. It’s quite likely the gold-bearing ground he’s looking for is submerged beneath the water table. In hydrologically-active drainages, this is very often the case. Pray tell, how does one test ground like that? With an excavator, pick and shovel, suction dredge? Maybe in a perfect miner’s world, you could bring all these tools into play. Pay dirt might lie buried far back within some ancient Tertiary or Quaternary terrace high up on the side of a canyon wall. Gold has little trouble going unmolested when covered by ten to thirty feet of overburden and/or heavy forestation. Do you see the challenges? Wherever you are, the erratic, elusive nature of pay-streaks add layers of complexity to the act of finding minable deposits. Here is where being a bona fide prospector enters the picture. Through both analysis (testing) and the process of elimination (finding out where the gold isn’t), the persistent digger eventually figures out whether he has a bona fide mine or just the shaft. It all begins with want-to. Then comes access, an approved plan of operations, the correct tools, a nose for gold, and a willingness to dig like a gopher until either you do or you don’t find that pile of gold you’re after. Regardless of how many times a claim’s been worked, invariably, a little color’s left behind. Perhaps there’s enough to satisfy the novice, recreational miner’s itch, just not enough to pay dividends to the more-demanding, occupational miner. A bit of leftover ‘color’ found at the beginning of a project causes excessive, dare I say irrational exuberance. I know from first-hand experience. It happens a lot. Finding a trace of gold leads to throwing everything you’ve got into a project; a claim, perhaps, with no serious potential at all. This scenario happens more often than you might think. The biggest questions for the weary prospector to answer are, “can you find it?”, “have you found it?”, “can you work it?”, and “will it pay?” In the lower 48 states, if you plan on mining B.L.M. or Forest Service-administered lands, there will be a heap of regulatory hurdles to overcome. Quite often, these are insurmountable. New rules pertaining to water usage have broken the will of many a prudent, well-meaning miner. No matter how grandiose one’s aspirations or how promising the property, right out of the gate, red tape can sabotage everything. Knowing, in advance, whether or not government agencies will approve a plan of operations authorizing preliminary sampling with mining to follow is an absolute must. Why bother to buy or stake mineral rights to a claim if the powers aren’t going to allow prospecting or mining? “Can you find it?”, “Have you found it?”, “Can you work it?”, and “Will it pay?” During my years of placer-mining, I considered one pennyweight (24 Grains) a good day’s production. I hear you laughing and that’s o.k. To be clear, there were plenty of days when I mined a lot more than 1/20th of an oz. Then, there were all the other days. The vast majority of hardscrabble, lone-wolf mining types from whatever era you mention earned little more than subsistence wages if that. That’s a reality I can relate to. One pennyweight of gold is one twentieth of an ounce. I doubt most of you could even conceive of working for such chump change. But that was then, this is now. During the 1980s and 1990s when I mined, gold was worth only a fraction (1/4) what it is today. Much depends on an individual’s perspective, how much he needs to survive, and what calculations are used to show profit. Through the period 1981 thru 1997, as a mining claim owner who enjoyed the outdoor lifestyle and loved digging for gold, I had no trouble getting by on 1/20th of an ounce of gold per day. A little fresh ‘shine’ added daily to your vial makes all the sweat and toil seem worthwhile. “Can you find it?”, “Have you found it?”, “Can you work it?”, and “Will it pay?” How successful your mining venture is ultimately depends on some of the variables mentioned in this essay. This is gold mining, after all, so ‘success’ is a relative term. Only you know for sure whether you’re ahead of the game or not. Maybe you’re a person who doesn’t need money to be happy. Could be you only ‘want a little gold mine to call your own.’ Possibly, from your unique perspective, it’s more about the freedom and the independence. If it’s your claim, you’re the one who does the cleanups and gets to weigh up the gold. At least, I hope you’re the one. Only you know what’s needed or how much his buyer is paying when gold is sold. Small scale placer miners tend to be a very individualistic lot. Every miner has to define for him or herself what constitutes success, profit, and failure. Here are the most important questions you will need to answer. “Can you find it?”, “have you found it?”, “can you work it?”, and “will it pay?” author: Gene Ralph LAW OF THE YUKON “From my ruthless throne, I have ruled alone for a million years and a day;Hugging my mighty treasure, waiting for man to come; Till he swept like a turbid torrent, and after him swept – the scum”.
