If you\'re looking for gold specimens with provenance, here\'s a sweet rock from the Mother Lode. My source cites the origin as California\'s Harvard Mine near Jamestown. It\'s part of a small collection of specimens recently acquired from this historic minesite. The gold in this rock really beams. Judging by it\'s color, the Au is high in purity. The host is quartz, a common silicate mineral. For those who\'ve kept track of my store, you\'ll know I don\'t sell low-grade specimens.

Years spent detecting, sampling ores, drywashing, sluicing, and dredging are how my enterprise came about. Gold of Eldorado was opened as a way to sell off my own finds online. My expertise isn\'t vast or academic. Truth is, I\'m a common digger, a fossicker, a blue collar guy who enjoyed hunting for gold. I\'m no geologist or mining engineer. Call me a digologist. I can\'t even operate heavy equipment. What I learned came from The School of Picks and Shovels; the U. of. Freezing Your Ass Off. You want to see my degree? I earned it at Knocks College slinging dirt, sweeping bedrock, swinging a pickaxe, sucking gravel, rolling boulders, packing gear up and down mountain trails. My first two summers, I spent under-cutting banks, chucking rocks, breaking knuckles, swatting no-see-ums, dodging Green Mojaves. Graduation was the close of one miserable chapter before commencement of the next; introduction into the world of gold dredging. I started diving in 1983 and stuck with that for thirteen summers. That was very educational, but no bonanzas materialized. I learned a lot working around other miners and my fellow snowbirds, rock-hounds, sun gypsies,other artist-types following theirown elusive dreams whether jewelry, fossils, or just collecting minerals. Most Arizona vendors were happy to share what they knew. Some specialized in antiquities, beads, knapping, hand-crafted artwork, lapidary. Others sold imported goods gathered from allover the world. If you\'ve not been to Quartzsite,that\'s a bit of what you\'ll find down in the Arizona outback.
PLACER GOLD REDEPOSITSWith present-day gold prices, the ground rules have changed. Paydirt isn\'t what it used to be, but gold hasn\'t become any easier to find. The only difference now is it\'s worth a heck of a lot more than it used to be. The 49ers left a lot; however, if a succession of miners already reworked previously worked-over diggings, there might not be much left to mine in that particular area.Take this into accountif you\'re shopping for an unpatented claim.During my years spent desertmining, most prospectors would probably consider one pennyweight (24 Grains)(1/20th of an oz) a good day\'s haul. From my perspective, a pennyweight a day seemed like a million bucks. A lot about what constitutes profit depends on your project, it\'s scale, your expenses,how hard you\'re willing to work, and howmuch goldyou\'ll be satisfied with.It doesn\'t seem to matter how many times a claim was worked, invariably a little gold gets left behind. The biggest questionsto ask yourself are\"can you find it\", \"can you work it\",and \"will it pay?\"

Thanks forchecking out our digs.
