What is it we do here?
I created the Prospecting Geologist to be a resource to all prospectors. With the main goals being to provide knowledge about how to find more gold.
The best way to find more gold is through research and community. Below is my outline for any prospector to be successful at gold prospecting in YOUR area of interest. What you see below will be the foundation of The Prospectors Path.
- Location – Your area of interest
- Community – Local groups
- Equipment – learning to pan
- History – of gold in your area
- Geology – of your area
- Field work – Find Gold!
I will be fleshing this section out in the coming months through both new YouTube videos and articles. Please stay tuned as these will be fundamental to beginning your Path.
