How to find gold: searching and digging in the ground, on the beach and on the street

Some dig ferrous metal, others are more interested in non-ferrous metal.

Both of them have a small but relatively constant income with the right approach.

Those who set their sights on finding gold do not want to be content with little. Their finds will be rare , but much more valuable .

There have always been plenty of romantic gold diggers. And some of them actually got rich.

In order to become a successful gold digger, you need to understand how to look, where to look and what to use for this.

You don't have to open a new mine to find gold. This requires great financial resources, which not everyone has.

But people lose a lot of gold jewelry and precious metal jewelry due to carelessness or haste.

It is this lost gold that we will look for: in the ground, on the street and on the beach.

Is it profitable to sell gold now?

Before selling jewelry, it is worth studying the market dynamics and choosing the right moment. This is especially true for bullion, OMC and coins, since their value changes every second along with the world gold rate.

You will have to analyze the market to get the maximum benefit. The cost of jewelry made from precious metals also depends on quotes, but to a lesser extent.

How much does gold cost and what does the price of the precious metal depend on?

The price of gold is constantly changing and depends on the following factors:

  • volume of precious metal supplies to the world market;
  • dollar exchange rate;
  • investor interest;
  • activity of state banks of developed countries;
  • London Metal Exchange valuation.

In Russia, the cost of aurum is set by the Central Bank every working day after 10:00. Other banks are equal to it, only they add their own interest rates to the cost, which makes it more profitable to buy and sell it.

Is it possible to donate gold without hallmarking?

Unsampled products can be taken to pawn shops and jewelry shops. There they will conduct an examination and establish a gold sample, assessing it by weight. The purchase of unsealed items is carried out in batches, the weight of which is determined by each institution independently.

You can watch the video to see how the percentage of aurum in products is checked without testing.

Extraction of gold dust

However, first all the concentrate must be sorted. This is done either on a special vibrating table, or using the simplest gravitational method of deposition in water. Since the density of gold is higher than that of slag, when shaken in water it settles to the very bottom, which makes it possible to isolate gold-bearing sand. Next comes dry cleaning.

Unnecessary impurities are removed using nitric and sulfuric acids, which dissolve the sand. Gold does not react with them. The purified concentrate is poured with aqua regia (a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids), which dissolves the gold. The solution is filtered and gold is separated from it by electrolysis. To obtain the purest possible metal, the dissolution and precipitation procedure is repeated several times. After this, all that remains is to fuse the resulting grains of sand-crystals.

Where to donate the treasure?

If a gold nugget is found not on one’s own territory, then by law it must be given to the state. However, the finder will not immediately receive his compensation. You will be faced with tedious, lengthy paperwork: expert assessments, documentation verification, and much more. There are numerous cases where people waited for their money only after several years. What can be done in such situations? There is only one thing that will help – contacting a lawyer.

What will happen if those who find treasures do not hand over to the state? There is no criminal liability for concealing them. But the rule does not apply to treasure of archaeological or historical value. In this case, the state has the right to confiscate all found jewelry. If the search was not carried out on the territory of an important state monument, then there will be no criminal liability or fines.

Finding jewelry is quite a difficult process. It all depends on your luck and equipment. But now you know what to do and where to take it.

Gold jewelry, what applies to them and where to return them

By contacting one of our offices, you can, with the help of a professional jeweler, estimate the real value and profitably sell one or more gold items on the proposed terms.
Buying differs from a pawnshop in that you will not be able to buy your item back; upon completion of the transaction, it becomes the property of the company irrevocably. All transactions are documented and executed in accordance with legal requirements - this is the second main difference from pawnshops, which conduct more than half of their transactions illegally. Our clients, along with the money due, receive an official document with signatures and seals as confirmation, so there is no reason to worry about the integrity of the transaction.

What products are accepted for purchase?

We accept any items of value on the market. Anyone can sell us gold products of the following varieties:

  • Jewelry is valued not only based on the weight in grams and the fineness of the metal; the artistic value of the item has an additional influence on the price. Old things are traditionally valued at a high price; prices for new ones depend on the manufacturer and the degree of serial production.
  • Accessories made of gold, silver and other precious metals - lighters, cufflinks, cigarette cases, souvenirs, pens, figurines and other types of trinkets made of rare metals.
  • Clocks, chronometers, compasses and other mechanisms - antique products of this type are a guarantee of acceptance at a favorable price, especially if they are in good condition and do not have external damage.
  • Diamonds and other types of precious stones - whether as part of inlaid objects or separately, these natural phenomena are always in price.
  • Bank bars made of 999 fine gold - the personification of financial power - can also be bought and sold, and for a very good price.
  • Old and rare or collectible coins are traditionally expensive and do not lose value, since the chances of finding an extra copy decrease every year.
  • Scrap gold and other precious metals are items that have become unusable, their fragments or fragments, once attractive items that have lost their marketable appearance. Priced according to the total weight in grams and the current price per unit of weight.
  • The manufacturer of gold jewelry or other jewelry does not matter for acceptance for evaluation. The marking of a well-known company affects the final price offered, but its absence will not be a reason for refusal to accept.

People use the precious metal as a store of capital and an investment that sooner or later has to be cashed out. I will tell you where to donate gold and how to get a decent payment in this article.

FAQ

Let's look at the questions that usually concern owners who want to donate jewelry. I will try to answer them as completely as possible.

How to protect yourself from scammers when selling gold

To avoid falling into the hands of scammers, you must use the services of only trusted workshops, pawnshops and stores. To obtain a jewelry license, these organizations are officially registered and operate under a certain code from the OKVED classifier.

Any deviation from the activities specified in the documentation will deprive the establishment of its license, and the owners will face legal proceedings.

Buying dental gold - who benefits from it?

Not all organizations agree to buy dental gold. Most often it is accepted as scrap, very cheaply, because the crowns are unsuitable for further use and do not have any artistic value. MosGosSkupka offers a favorable price for dental gold in Moscow.

Why are crowns made from 850 gold?

In those days when it was popular to wear gold teeth, it emphasized a person’s status. However, it was not possible to use pure metal due to its plasticity, so impurities were added for strength: silver, which also has antibacterial properties, and copper.

That is, the product contained a large amount of precious metal and at the same time was strong enough to withstand certain loads when worn.

Where are the best chances of finding lost gold?

Gold can be found wherever a person sets foot, but in some places the probability of finding is significantly higher .

As a rule, these are places for swimming and gathering of people in the city.

On the beach


Searching for gold on the beach is perhaps the most profitable activity among gold seekers.
The beach and coastal strip of the sea, lake or river ─ there are often crowds of people .

And it’s hard to find a person who hasn’t lost something on the beach at least once in his life.

It also happens that before going for a swim, a person takes off his gold jewelry and puts it in the pocket of his clothes lying on the sand.

Coming out of the water, he often forgets about it, and before getting dressed, he shakes the sand off his clothes, and with it the jewelry. In addition, some people drink on the beach, which distracts attention.

One way or another, on the sand and under water, as a rule, there is something to profit from for a gold seeker.

It is more convenient to look for gold on the beach in the evening or at night , when vacationers have mostly dispersed. When it gets dark, use flashlights.

Experienced searchers find up to 10 grams of gold every day. Taking into account its cost in pawn shops and organizations that accept scrap gold (from 1,300 rubles per gram), it turns out very well.

Under the water

Not all vacationers know that a temperature difference of more than 10 degrees leads to a narrowing of blood vessels, as a result of which the fingers slightly decrease in diameter.

Because of this, when people enter water, which is often much colder than the air, they lose rings and rings in the water .

They not only swim in the water, but also frolic and play different games. At the same time, it often happens that gold chains with crosses or pendants made of precious metal break. Gold watches are also lost. That’s why more gold is found in water than in sand in the coastal zone.

The most valuable finds are found at a depth of about two meters .

How to look for gold in waters? Search rakes with a long handle are suitable, as are metal detectors that can work in water.

Different places on the street


Parking lots and recreation areas for tourists also attract gold seekers.

People on vacation are relaxed, move a lot, play active games.

At the same time, rings, signet rings and other gold jewelry are lost, and here it also makes sense to look for gold.

Squares and public gardens , where thousands of people pass every day, can also become places of valuable finds, especially after meetings, holidays and events.

In park areas , where citizens relax right on the grass, having picnics, someone’s valuable gold jewelry may also remain.

Urban flower beds and flower borders are places where it is easy to lose a ring or chain while working with the soil or bending over it. If people plant or weed flowers while wearing gloves, then removing the gloves increases the likelihood of losing a ring. In the city, large areas in the form of flower beds are planted with flowers. Worth looking.

The likelihood of a discovery increases near jewelry stores and workshops. Here people often lose gold jewelry or small gold parts from damaged chains, broken gold clasps on bracelets or watches. Small grains of gold and gold shavings are carried out on the soles of the master.

Concentrate extraction

A visual experience was given by one of the YouTube users from the GOLDEN CHANNEL channel. He used a simple tray (drag) with magnets to simultaneously collect magnetite concentrate, which is also a source of gold. The user washed the precious metal on one of the gold-bearing Siberian rivers of the Lena basin, where industrial mining is currently not carried out due to its low profitability.

Technologies for artisanal gold washing using improvised means that are easy to make yourself were described in detail by Nikolai Latkin in the century before last in his book “On the Siberian Gold Mines.” Today they have hardly changed. In almost 8 hours of hard physical labor washing gravel, the user managed to collect about 10 kilograms of concentrate, which he later used for chemical extraction of gold.

How much in rubles?

The user's final loot was a mini-gold bar weighing just over 4.13 grams. All that remains is to implement it and calculate the daily profit. Unfortunately, this is where the main problem emerges. According to domestic legislation, artisanal mining of precious metals and their sale is an administrative violation. According to Article 19.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, a violator faces confiscation of gold and a fine of 3-5 thousand rubles.

Anastasia Gnedinskaya in her article “Predators or Miners” says that artisanal gold is usually sold through familiar jewelers who make jewelry out of it for a “small portion”, or through pawn shops. The latter accept “handicraft” as gold of the lowest standard 375, and in the best case (from acquaintance) as 500. That is, in the best case, they will be able to earn 5,500 rubles for a day’s production, and in the worst case, a little more than 4,000 rubles.

The costs of reagents can be ignored here, since they are small. Earning 4,000 a day can be considered quite decent, if not for its obvious illegality. However, as amateur prospector Vladimir Shilov told RIA Novosti, this fact stops few people. After all, even in the Moscow region you can earn over 300,000 rubles in a season from artisanal gold, and in Siberia – much more.
