There are many basic tools required to find and work mineral claims.
The low-budget prospector only needs the three basics: a shovel,
a bucket, and a gold pan (and a source of water) to get started;
people who have been seized by the gold prospecting fever can end
up buying, and perhaps even needing, equipment to work a prospect
and turn it into a producing mine. To recover enough gold to make
the labor worth doing, the three basics (above) are not enough.
Some of the items used to recover gold are:
- Classifiers, Screens and Sieves
- Digging Tools - picks, rakes, shovels
- Gold Pans and Gold Panning Kits
- Dry Washers for desert areas
- Highbankers (Power Sluice boxs)
- Black Sand Concentrators
- Hand Dredge
- Rock Crusher / sample ore crusher
- Crevice Tools
- Snuffer Bottles
- Miners Moss
- Sluice Carpet Mat / ribbed vinyl matting
- Metal detector
- Face mask / dust mask
- Digging Trowel
- "Gold Cube" Concentrator
- Automatic Gold Panners
- Books on how to find gold
