About

This web site is about a couple of friends – Ray & Josh who enjoy the outdoors and decided to start an adventure in gold prospecting. Initially it was primarily an excuse to get out of the office, but all that has changed now because we have gold fever.

We started this journey on Feb 7, 2010. Every Sunday since, we pack up in the morning and head out to explore the Arizona desert in search of that yellow metal gold. It’s a lot of tough work finding gold and we have spent a bit of money on equipment, but it’s a lot of fun if you truly like the outdoors. I wish we had discovered and appreciated this hobby many years ago.

We now have five placer mining claims in northern and southern Arizona so we can find gold year round.

Our goal is to experience everything about gold mining and we expect this journey to take us to some really exciting places! It’s a fun and healthy hobby that I think everyone should try.  I hope this web site proves to be educational for you.
