Reno Chris Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Going to be trying this at a few little silver prospects this spring. Nice silver specimens often sell for more than their equivalent weights in gold (for gold that is not crystalline). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnedoe Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Jim Hemingway over at Treasure net from Ontario detects the silver region and has some incredible finds. Steve, I believe you have posted on some of his threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 Jim posts on this forum so he may comment. He has made some amazing finds but like all successful prospectors he works for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice silver specimens often sell for more than their equivalent weights in gold (for gold that is not crystalline). Your Minelab native silver article was an enjoyable read Chris, as was your instructive native silver thread started here a short while ago. Frankly I've never paid much attention to pricing, but yes it is shocking to me to learn what even dealers will pay for material that I can't be bothered bringing home. I recently posted an article to TreasureNet entitled Recreational Prospecting in the Silverfields of Northeastern Ontario at http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/metal-detecting-gold/525046-recreational-prospecting-silverfields-northeastern-ontario.html should you have any interest or spare time. Emphasis is placed on effectively searching abandoned minesite tailings disposal areas characterized by an overabundance of iron and other miscellaneous modern waste materials while employing VLF units. References to F75 and the White's MXT are frequent in regard to discussions about features and their usages in such environs. That's it for now, your ideas interest me... good luck with your tentative plans. Jim. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertpilot Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I too have a goal to detect some native silver this year as well. I have a few areas that I'm planning to hunt south of Tucson. I've seen nice stuff come out of Tombstone as well but it's though to find open ground to detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent King Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I have always wanted to detect some native silver, doent seem to be no where near as common in Aus, all ours are yellow :( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I've seen some nice silver specimens from Australia, but agreed, its not as common. Australia is a big silver producer - it just doesn't get the attention given to the gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
