How to Get Rich Digging for Gold

Assemble living quarters and mining equipment in areas of the claim that surround the actual excavation sites for gold ore. The way the mine is set up will enhance or hinder gold extraction and affect the time it takes to get rich.

Sample the ore on the claim at numerous locations. Separate gold from the ore with each sampling and discover where the richest ore is located. Pinpointing gold deposits is an important part of getting rich digging for gold. Gold concentrates on top of bedrock and in the bottom of river and creek beds. Sample the ore until you find a concentration that can support the mining operation at a profit.

Deliver the gold ore from the excavation site to the mining equipment. Drop the ore into the separation systems shaker first. Shake out large stone while sending the ore through smaller openings until all that is left of the material is the heaviest sands and gold.

Wash gold concentrate over riffles in a sluice to capture the gold in the ore. Clean the sluice mat as gold builds up. Clean the sluice daily for the highest sections and then daily, weekly and monthly for the lower riffles and mats of the sluice where gold rarely reaches.

Clean the gold particles and heavy sand from the sluice mat and into a bucket. Pan the rest of the black sands away from the pure gold using water to swish away the lighter debris. Collect the gold flakes and course gold in vials and weigh at the end of each shift.

Develop a successful mine using efficient mining processes and excellent sampling techniques. You will get rich digging for gold when you combine high quality ore with efficient mining techniques.
