-A metal detector is an electronic device designed to detect metals, ferrous and non-ferrous.  They range in price from $100 to $3,000 dollars and normally will locate small nuggets up to about 6" deep depending on the quality of the metal detector.  They will locate your lost keys or watch, lost in the sand at the beach (very useful), but from experience, most of the gold you find is smaller than nuggets.  Considering that most of the gold in the world is in gold ore (less than 10 oz per ton) and requires heat or chemicals to extract, the metal detector is normally not a wise tool for prospecting unless you have a lot of gold.  The device was invented to locate old coins.

 The answer to this question will vary by state or province. Usually some kind of mining license and mining claim is required for at least some of these devices. Search it out.

-We already know that digging is required to get gold and established that gold is worth having. So how do we justify gold prospecting?  There is a difference between wanton destruction for no purpose and legitimately accessing resources. A Pathfinder would never carve her name in a tree but there is no reason not to cut an unprotected tree down to build a house or get firewood. Similarly we can't build roads without mining gravel or get oil without drilling for it. Gold prospecting is no different. When we gold prospect we should do it legally and environmentally responsibly. Don't harm fish or poison the water. Use settling ponds to reduce sediment. Build access roads properly and generally do everything the right way and you can prospect for gold with a free conscience.

 A trommel is composed of a slightly-inclined rotating metal tube (the 'scrubber section') with a screen at its discharge end. Lifter bars, sometimes in the form of bolted in angle iron, are attached to the interior of the scrubber section. The ore is fed into the elevated end of the trommel. Water, often under pressure, is provided to the scrubber and screen sections and the combination of water and mechanical action frees the valuable minerals from the ore. The mineral bearing ore that passes through the screen is then further concentrated in smaller devices such as sluices and jigs. The larger pieces of ore that do not pass through the screen can be carried to a waste stack by a conveyor.
