Been in the tailings piles. 11:23, , who can tell me what it is. It is a soft mineral, light brown, somewhat striated/verigated that takes a nice polish. It has a bit of chatoyancy, not a lot but it flashes a bit at odd angles. Please, what is that mineral. Hand shaped and polished it looks nice. Thank you.

@goldenoutdoors5 күн бұрын
@LaunchBawx Not really. Do some research online for place here in Maine to dig. There are quite a few good places and in NH as well. Depends what your looking for. For me its the thrill of finding something good, treasure hunting. We go to NY for herkimer diamonds every year. When you dig and dig and dig then finally find one its so exciting. Thats what I love about all these kind of hobbies. Good luck 🍀

Do you need a permit for even the tiny sluices? I'm talking like the $25 amazon ones that are super tiny
@goldenoutdoorsАй бұрын
Not for sluice boxes. You do need permission from Twin River campground if that is where you are sluicing

@goldenoutdoors3 ай бұрын
I believe its a lot to do with angle and water flow. That sluice still runs carpet and that is proven to catch gold. Im sure I lose some as well. Try experimenting with angles and flow. When I first started I took bb’s from bird shot and tried different things with those. Hope this helps
