The New Gold Fever

Gold panning fine gold how to in light sand and with micro gold Panning and prospecting for gold has become one of the most popular recreational hobbies today. It is possible for many people to actually pay for their gold panning and gold prospecting holidays by selling any of the gold nuggets they find. Many people who pan and prospect for gold are discovering why a simple pan is one of the most effective techniques in discovering and recovering small amounts of gold from a stream bed. Prospecting for gold is very much like being a detective in an old Mickey Spillane novel. When you discover those small flakes in your pan for the 1st time more often then not you will be bitten by the gold prospecting bug and you realize that these small glittering pieces of gold are the only clues leading you to the source of that gold and perhaps a huge mother load



More than 80% of the gold in the Mother Lode is still in the ground.

Gold is most commonly found and or mined in one of two kinds of deposits; Placer and Lode. Placer deposits are areas of free gold that have settled in pockets after being disturbed and moved by many years weather facilitated erosion. Lode is gold found in veins buried deep underground in quartz deposits. Placer gold is mined using panning, sluicing, or dredging. Lode is mined using conventional "deep shaft" hard rock.

WASHING OFF LIGHTER SAND AND GRAVEL
1) Hold the pan just under the water and tilt it slightly away from you. Begin to swirl the water from side to side, with a slight forward tossing motion. Take care, but with sufficient force to move the surface and the lighter gravel out over the edge of the pan.
2) Leveling the pan from time to time and shaking it back and forth will cause the light material to come to the surface and the gold to settle to the bottom.
Repeat process 1 and 2 of step B until there is only about two cups of heavier material left in your pan. This material is usually called "black sand," or "concentrate."

A one-ounce gold nugget is more rare to find than a five-carat diamond.
The amount of gold nuggets being found in the world is less than one percent.

Even though gold is rare, it is far easier to find than winning a major lottery.
Because of its rarity, a gold nugget can be worth 2 to 4 times the value of the gold it contains.

Gold going up to $2,400/oz

2000 years ago 1/10 of oz could buy you a goat. Today 1/10 of oz can still buy you a goat...It's not that the Gold is expensive. It's the Dollar that is cheap...The Fed is planning 2 more rounds of " quantitative easing " ( monetizing the debt). So hyperinflation is a real possibility.German company is installing "Gold to Go" vending machines. They opened their first of 5000 gold ATM machines in Abu Dhabi and are focusing on Germany, Switzerland and a few other countries.Gold is becoming ever more popular, this is another good example of the new gold rush.

Bob Chapman - The Financial Survival - 20 July 2011

Bob Chapman : the chances of gold and silver going up a 100 to a 150 percent are excellent between now and the end of February of the next year so what are we talking ? $2000 to $2500/oz $3000/oz and in the silver $80to $90/oz we gonna wait to see , they made a terrible mistake because they used a margin in the COMEX but in the retail they raised their margin to 42000 by doing that they wiped out all the small and medium sized players so there is no resistance on the upside cause everybody is gone and they can't handle 42 percent margin requirement so the only ones that are left are the people and the parties who can afford to be able to go in the market and essentially pay cash so it is big hitters versus big hitters, so the JPM HSBC cartel got a problem as you will see the prices of silver will go up over $50 and the prices of gold will go for new highs ...there will be an explosion in prices when they will try to cover their shorts ...

Andy Schectman : Silver out selling gold 65 to one

Andy Schectman Miles CEO of Franklin Precious Metals says "we are seeing a tremendous demand for silver in fact silver eagles are out selling gold eagles and buffaloes 65 to one " the demand for silver is higher than that of gold and remains strong despite the drawback that we saw in May . "Silver is a Powder Keg Waiting To Explode" Andy Schectman says , silver has been more manipulated than Gold , the Silver to Gold ratio could come down to a single digit number says Andy , the big money in Europe is very nervous to what happens to the euro so there is question that some of that money will move into the safe heaven of Gold





MAKE SURE YOU GET PHYSICAL SILVER IN YOUR OWN POSSESSION. Don't Buy SLV, or Futures or Pooled Accounts or any other BS paper silver product .Remember anything on paper is worth the paper it is written on. Go Long Stay long the bull market have even started yet

Gold pull-back in the last 2 days is due to profit taking

Will Rhind, Head of U.S. Operations at ETF Securities after Gold has broke the $1600 it has pulled back a little bit due to some profit taking says Rhind :" what we are seeing is Gold gone to $1600 which is a new all time high for gold and since then in the last couple of days it has pulled back a little bit , and if you look at the trend of gold in the last couple of years what we typically see is when gold has made a new high such as the $1600 level it has been subject to profit taking and therefore the price retraced a little bit from its all time high "

Peter Schiff : Gold is going higher

Peter Schiff : " Gold is going higher , it had a pull back today , if you price the DOW in terms of Gold yesterday the DOW was worth less than 7.8 ounces of Gold that's the lowest level since the bear market begun in 2000 when the DOW was worth 44 ounces of Gold "
"I think the Deal(about the debt ceiling) is bullish for Gold , contrary to all the scare tactics coming out of Washington , if we have an economic Armageddon which we may be have it is not going to be because we fail to raise the debt ceiling but because we succeed , the best thing for the market and the US economy and the worst thing for Gold is that we do not raise the debt ceiling and get our fiscal house in order right now , if we continue to kick the can down the road and raise the debt ceiling that's bullish for Gold and bearish for the US economy and bearish for the Dollar "

Peter Schiff is telling you truth. If you raise the debt ceiling any more, we are totally screwed. It's VERY obvious and I can't believe people are actually falling for this again. How hard is it to do simple math? Schiff was right about the economic collapse, housing bubble, and other problems within the market when most of the fools out there were saying "everything is fine, the market is great".
