Dig Deep. Strike Gold. Live the Prospector Life.
Your ultimate home base for gold panning, sluicing, metal detecting, and trommel operations. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a seasoned prospector, the mother lode is out there — and we'll help you find it.
What We Do
The original prospector's art. Learn how to work a pan, read a river, and catch those fine flakes that others miss. Perfect for beginners and veterans alike.
Process more gravel, catch more gold. We cover sluice box setup, riffle configurations, classifier sizing, and reading your cons like a pro.
Hunt gold nuggets, relics, and coins with the latest detectors. Ground balancing tips, coil selection, and target ID skills demystified.
High-volume processing power. The Fox Trommel is built tough for serious prospectors — we break down operation, screen sizing, and maintenance.
High-Volume Gold Processing
The Fox Trommel is a rotary screen classifier that lets you process significantly more material per hour than hand methods — ideal for high-grade gravels or bulk sampling operations.

Quick Tips
Gold settles in the inside bends, behind large boulders, and in bedrock crevices where current slows.
Heavy black sand (magnetite & hematite) travels with gold. Where you find it, gold isn't far behind.
Always verify land status before you dig. BLM, USFS, and state lands each have different rules.
Running material through a classifier before panning or sluicing dramatically increases your recovery rate.
