These bits were found several years ago with the GP-3500, and are typical of what I dig up in my neck of the Idaho outback; nothing big or particularly impressive, but keepers nonetheless. The hand-stacked rocks and iron trash from the 1860's gold rush era clued me in to the gold.

As for N or S Idaho.  You are in luck.  There is detectible gold in both regions.

Here's a book that should be in your collection.  Notice the top 2 photos came from me.

Ok Gerry, it's your moment to shine...do you happen to have that book for sale in your store?

For those of you who might like to see some actual "live digs" of Idaho gold, check out the YouTube channel "Spud Diggers," and view the video entitled "How to find gold with a Metal Detector - private lesson with the White's Goldmaster 24K." Featuring our esteemed colleague Gerry McMullen, and the irrepressible Rob "Spud Digger" Johnson, be sure to view the video to the end, where Gerry recovers a nice specimen. HH Jim
