Prospecting for Gold

Understanding how to prospect for gold is your key to success. There are time tested, proven methods to prospecting that members are learning with each Gold Trails event.

By being a part of any Gold Trails event you will leave with the experience and knowledge that you can take with you to use anywhere, no matter where your prospecting takes you. From water prospecting to deserts, gold doesn’t care where it is, you just have to know how to find it. And that is the core of Kevin’s Gold Trails.

A word from Kevin Hoagland:

"Gold Trails is more than a chance for me to get out and on some gold with members. For me, Gold Trails is a passion project to fulfill a promise I made to the Buzzard in sharing knowledge with Prospectors and Miners at any level of expertise.  

In 2023, I traveled the western states and worked with over 1000 Members. In all my travels, I realized that something was missing -- more time. More time to share with each member the principles and processes that I have been using and honing for decades.  

That is why I wanted to host Gold Trails events in one location, create a workbook, and include a third day."

My first nugget!

I showed up on day 2 never having found a nugget yet. After much guidance from Kevin and just learning how to use my machine properly I found my first gold nugget! Such an exhilarating amazing experience I’ll never forget! Met some really cool people as well!

Best Event I have Attended

I want to extend a great Thank you to Kevin and staff involved. I basically attended a master class in prospecting and enjoyed it so much I stayed for a second event. The members that attended were all enthusiastic and super friendly. I will recommend this program to any member I meet and have already encouraged people to attend.
Thanks, Dale Warren

Absolutely, gold has no idea where it is and the force that moves it. Prospecting and then mining is truly about learning how to see, not look at the ground differently. The knowledge Kevin will be sharing has been used in his prospecting worldwide.
