I get gold prospecting on Lake superior is just a hobby with very little return. But if you did rock hounding for Agates and Other precious stones, you would have much better returns and possibly make a decent profit for your work. The lake superior shoreline is loaded with them.

Why the jet dry
@SilverSleuth5 ай бұрын
Flour gold will float. The jet dry breaks down the elasticity of the water so the gold will not float.

Is that what yall call flour gold.. that's pickers compared to Louisiana you better get your jewelers loop out for what im finding in my creeks.. Also I need to try a high banker setup.. water here is cloudy knee to thigh high low speed and always trys to float my a52 away.. the only way I not the creeks here is enter at a bridge and stay within the banks can't get out of creek channel.

None of the spots I work for gold are close to where I park my vehicle. I carry the sluice and my other gear a distance. It gets heavy after carrying it and the rest of my gear. All of the gold in Michigan except for a couple of places is all flour gold. I’m going back to classifying my material before I run it through. I will be trying some dream mat I picked up over the winter.

Along the northern part of the Upper Peninsula along Lake Superior shore the black sands are being pushed out into the lake from the rivers and creeks the black sand makes it out about 50 feet then with the winds pushing south east the black sands get pushed up on the beach. If it was aloud and you could use a dredge you could get a lot of gold but they are not aloud to be used. Take a look at google maps and go east from grand Marais, Michigan

@Yukon Nate. Thanks for the reply. I walk a ways when I pack my sluice in and out. Everything I carry is weight. The more weight I carry the more work it is for me. Most of the time, I do not have enough water flow for it to work effectively. I live in Michigan and most of the gold I find is flour gold.
