Video Rating: 5 / 5

A how to video. For the beginer metal detector hobbiest ,as well as the intermediate and advanced detectorists…Where to go metal detecting for silver coins.In the beginning of this video..I shaved 5 minutes..Instead of Reading Tips on where to find the information,and Tips on how to set up your machine ,and simple Rules..I just took pictures of the dialog,and suggest that you pause and read it all…Toward the end of the video..I said..Stay in the easement…Which is the city owned area between the sidewalk and the curb..Most people will ignore you ,because that easement is already torn up for construction..However…There are a very few people that will ask …Why are you on my property ?…Tho you are not (It is City Property)…Just say…Excuse me,and move on …Do not argue with them..Even tho it is city property…You do not want to cause a scene and have them call the police…You will lose…I have metal detected many of these tear outs over the last 20+ years,and was only confronted one time by an irate property owner…I said…”Excuse me…I did not want to offend you,I thought this was city property (and it was, but I did not argue the point)…I stepped up to the sidewalk and walked a few houses down before detecting again..Problem Solved..Many silver coins,& old coins can be found by the beginer this way…They strip between 4″-8 inches of sod & soil off the top…Lots of times you can spot a wheat cent, a buffalo nickle ,or silver coin just laying on top

Gold Panning in Angeles National Forest California

Prospecting and sampling a site for color in Angeles National Forest, 2/28/10. The idea is to hand pan for the presence of gold before you do any serious digging. 1. Find the gold line (inside curve of stream). 2. Locate a gravel deposit. 3. Dig a sample and classify (screen) to 1/4 inch. 4. Pan it and look for color. I’m at “Pry Bar Gulch” – a small canyon that is dry most of the year. I took advantage of a rainstorm the day before to pan while the small creek was running.
