I was referred to GoldProspectorsSpace by a fellow who does gold paydirt reviews on youtube. It's a nice social gathering website. I was warmly welcomed. It is a pretty busy website, there always seems to be someone in the chat area, always something new to see. There are people there from all over, and with varying degrees of experience in prospecting. The site has complete newbies who have just caught gold fever and are eager to learn, well seasoned prospectors there, who are happy to share their wisdom and anecdotes, and every step in between.
There are forums for newbies and old timers to converse, ask and answer questions, and show picture of their latest finds. The forums have a classifieds section as well, so if you are looking for equipment you can check that out. They also have many advertisers specific to prospecting, metal detecting and treasure hunting. The advertisers are said to have high quality goods and they help support the website.
Some of the members have links to their youtube how-to videos, which I find informative and helpful. The whole site itself is informative . If you don't know what terms like "highbanking" and "sluicing" are you will soon learn, from the forums, the videos, and the members. They do have it all from how to season a gold pan and pan for gold, all the way up to how to run the big equipment.

They sell it all even dirt that you can have delivered to your home if you are like me and do not live in a state where gold exists "in the wild". The gold panning dirt they sell has always gotten high marks from buyers. How you see the pricing really depends on your budget. If you are like me and are of extremely low income, you might not be able to accommodate the pricing, but if you are low middle class upwards, you will find it most agreeable. In other words, the pricing seems to suit most budgets.
Last but not least, GoldProspectorsSpace does a Sunday night radio show online at: http://www.goldprospectorsspaceradio.com/ . It starts at 7:30 pm eastern time.
If you are interested in prospecting for gold, hunting gems, metal detecting, or anything related, I recommend you visit GoldProspectorsSpace . Be sure to observe proper netiquette and do not overtly or inadvertently advertise non-supporters of the website though. That is considered to be in extremely poor form and taste, which is wholly understandable. Prospectors of extreme lesser income (such as myself) who do purchase dirt or equipment elsewhere, be most careful of what you post about it (and it might be good not to even mention ebay at all, unless it's in the negative spectrum of references).
GoldProspectorsSpace apparently garners most of it's support from advertisers who sell products relative to the website itself. That is one reason they are ad-heavy in appearance. It can be a really good thing if you're looking to buy. If you're not in the market for dirt or equipment you can donate to the website, there is a button for that. So, if you aren't buying or even if you cannot afford the products but still want to support a great site, you can paypal a few dollars here and there. They are appreciative.
All in all GoldProspectorsspace is a welcoming website, very informative, friendly, and supportive. According to one member: "It's like a family." I believe that speaks volumes. Good day and happy prospecting/treasure hunting all!
