Wickenburg is an historical location for gold mining in Arizona and we have had several classes there. Noah demonstrated the desert prospecting techniques of dry washing and panning where there is no water…and lots of sunshine!

We just completed another Arizona gold prospecting class. We had a great time even though it got a bit toasty. We dug out a few good holes, ran about 10 buckets through the dry washer and panned out most of the concentrates. And there was color in our pans!  

Glen was adventurous on Sunday taking Dustin and Summer up to the Agua Fria in Arizona when the forecast was for 114°. Luckily it cooled down during the night and the morning was perfect for hiking and prospecting!

We had our first 2 Arizona gold prospecting classes this past week. The weather was fantastic and gold to be found. Thanks to our students and looking forward to more Arizona adventures!

We are excited to announce that we’ll be offering gold prospecting adventures in Arizona in 2017! You can experience the thrill of prospecting in some of the most famous gold bearing areas of Arizona. Learn how to dry wash in the desert and nugget-shoot for the big stuff! Stay tuned for updates early in 2017!

There was more than gold in the river last Friday up on the Swift. What a beautiful day on the river with Heidi.

Well, here’s a season of prospecting the Wild AM. Oh that beautiful yellow stuff! So far at the WAM…every spec counts!            

We have decided on dates for the 2013 BIG DIG V and Little Dig IV events. Click here to check it out.

Had a great time up on the WAM with Izzy on Veteran’s Day. Here are some shots:  

Just t heads up to anyone coming up to Little Dig III in Vermont this summer.  You need a permit to sluice in VT and no dredging is allowed. Here is a link to get a sluicing permit: HERE
