Arizona Gold Mine

Arizona Gold Mine - Yuma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The area's first settlers for thousands of years were Native American cultures and historic tribes. Their descendants now occupy the Cocopah and Quechan reservations.

In 1540, Spanish colonial expeditions under Hernando de Alarcon and Melchior Diaz visited the area and immediately recognized the natural crossing of the Colorado River as an ideal spot for a city. The Colorado River narrows to slightly under 1,000 feet wide in one area. Military expeditions that crossed the Colorado River at the Yuma Crossing include Juan Bautista de Anza (1774), the Mormon Battalion(1848) and the California Column (1862).

During and after the California Gold Rush to the late 1870s, the Yuma Crossing was known for its ferry crossings for the Southern Emigrant Trail. This was considered the gateway to California, as it was one of the few natural spots where travelers could cross the otherwise very wide Colorado River.

Gold Prospecting Adventures

Gold Prospecting Adventures

This video is a compilation of photos and video clips from some of our Southern California and Western Arizona weekend gold prospecting trips.

We're using the Polaris Razor all-terrain vehicles to travel some of the very rough and narrow mule cart roads that went to some of the really old gold mines in the area. Today, the weekend gold prospector is not so much concerned about hitting it rich as they are about having a real outdoor adventure with the possibility of finding some gold dust and for the very lucky, some gold Nuggets. People collect gold nuggets just for their natural beauty. Also, many collect gold nuggets as a form of physical ownership of gold as defense against you wrote in buying power of the dollar and also to participate in an asset class that has been popular since biblical times. To see additional photos taken on this gold prospecting trip and or to get more information on where to purchase this drone at the best possible price be sure to visit our very popular California gold nugget site.

Weekend trip to Arizona from San Diego Ca.

We like to go to Arizona vs Southern California because the chances of finding gold nuggets is much greater in Arizona. On this trip we basically did gold dry washing and a little gold detecting near abandoned old gold mines.

Arizona gold nugget detecting

Arizona gold nugget detecting. Gold prospecting in Arizona. Just northwest of Quartzite AZ we are in a desert dry wash, where the gold metal detector gave a strong signal in the bedrock. 

After working for quite some time, the prospector could not locate the source of the signal. It could be an iron vien within one of the rocks, but then again, it could be a rich gold vein!

It could take a large steel wedge and sledge hammer to get at the source. For now, anyone with a good metal detector who happens to swing it over this bedrock, may be the one to get the answer to what is in there.
