Your all-in-one resource hub for tools, techniques, education and real-world knowledge from the Desert Gold Diggers community. Whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your skills, you'll find everything you need right here.
Desert Gold Diggers members use a wide variety of prospecting equipment. Explore the tools, learn how they work and discover how different methods perform in Arizona's desert environment.
Club outings are a great opportunity to see different equipment, watch experienced prospectors use it and ask questions.
Tips, techniques, field stories and hard-earned lessons from people who actually get out there and prospect. Learn from the Desert Gold Diggers community and keep building your skills between outings.
You don't need a truck full of equipment to start looking for gold. Learn the basic principles, build a simple field kit and understand what experienced prospectors are looking for before you head into Arizona gold country.
Learn what experienced prospectors notice in the landscape before the first shovel ever hits the ground.
Size, material, riffles and shape all make a difference. Here's what a new prospector should know.
Some of the most valuable prospecting knowledge isn't found in a manual. It's learned by getting out there.
Understanding what a machine does is one thing. Watching an experienced prospector use it is another.
One of the biggest advantages of joining a prospecting club is access to people who have spent years learning what works.
Weight, movement and natural traps all help explain why prospectors concentrate their search in certain areas.
Field experience builds knowledge one trip, one technique and one conversation at a time.
Every prospector learns something in the field. A technique that works better. A piece of equipment worth trying. A mistake someone else doesn't have to make.
Desert Gold Diggers has decades of experience within its community. Prospector's Corner gives us a place to preserve that knowledge, share what we've learned and pass it on to the next generation of prospectors.
