Gold Digging Fever

Posts Tagged ‘gems’

this is part two of the gold prospecting show with cameraman Berry Shoup

Features i’m looking for-works good on land and in water, can detect no more than 3′ down, can discriminate between junk/jewels/coins/gems/between different metals/ and artifacts, is light and portable, has headphones, has an easy to read digital readout screen, and a carrying bag.It must cost no more than $500.

Does anyone know of anywhere to treasure(gems and mineral) hunt in nv? Not las Vegas….. Thanx!

I’ve checked out a few of the places that I’ve seen on The Travel Channel’s Cash and Treasure. It seems that after being featured on the show, the prices for such activity at these locations has gone up (doubled from $50 to $100 at one place.)

I know that there must be many more of the native gem and rockhounding areas available to the public than I have heard about. But, I don’t know where to find them. I thought that with so many people reading this question, that I’d surely find out about many less known places. So, please do let me know if you’ve been gem hunting, where and what you found and if you had a good experience.

I’d particularly like to know of any public native gem searching areas in the South East.

Thanks for you help.

So i’m a mage on K’T and was gonna pick up jewelcrafting but I can’t decide which other prof to go with it. I’m torn between mining and prospecting the gems out or if I should buy the mats, make it with JC, and then disenchant it with Enchanting. I have around 1.3k gold, so i;m oretty sure money wont be a problem for buying the gems. Any help, plus other prof. combos are helpful. Thanks.
