How do you prospect?

Answer 1

It very much depends on what type of gold mining you are doing. There is Placer mining, hard rock mining, high banking and dry desert mining, among others.

Most miners begin with a Gold pan and prospect along rivers and streams that are known as having produced gold in the past.

You'll want to prospect in cracks and crevices. Dig out the sand and gravel with a spoon or ice pick. Break the crack open with a pry bar and pan the contents of the crack. The object is to get top the bottom of the crack by any means.
