Gold Diving Tips

Tip One
If you see there is a hole without rocks tightly jammed inside of it, it is very likely that area has already been seen and searched for gold.

If you are looking for gold, the diver will need to get to the bottom of a crevice. A crevice in a stream or river is a crack or fissure in the bedrock of a stream. Due to the fact that gold is around eight times heavier than normal gravel, it is normal for it to look for the lowest area where it will usually get trapped in a crevice.

A crevice can many times be found by looking at the lay of the land around the river. If you can see a crack in the rocks, cross the stream and comes out on the other side, you will definitely want to check this type of area.

A gold diver that has experience will always look for evidence of shallow bedrock before he starts exploring. Even though a diver may have all the necessary equipment it is still important to first study the area before bring all the heavier equipment to the spot.

Tip Two
In many occasions a crevice with gold in it can be seen from the surface by looking and checking out the lay of the land surrounding the river.

Try not to make the mistake of moving a dredge into an area that looks promising and at the end of the day when the concentrates are panned out you see that it did not have good material to work with. It is first better to prospect the area first and save yourself a lot of hours of wasted work.

A lightweight compressor allows a diver to be able to work for extended amounts of time. The weight of some of these is around seventy-three pounds and the cost is under $700.
