Gold detection without a device means the possibility of finding gold treasures underground
(For example, gold coins – gold rings – gold bracelets – an old gold statue ..)
Without the need to use a metal detector or a gold detector, and there are many ways to detect gold manually
Without a device, manual methods include using certain tools or following signs for the locations of the treasures … etc.
The possibility of detecting gold without a device is possible and there are many people who have found valuable treasures by chance by searching
In primitive and manual ways without using specialized devices, but these methods have their disadvantages and do not eliminate the need to use metal detectors
or gold detectors, and we will explain that in this article.
Methods of detecting gold without a device
There are many ways to detect gold without a device and they differ from each other in the necessary tools. For example, in this article we mention the following:
Methods of detecting gold manually
Methods of detecting gold manually include searching manually in places where gold is likely to be found, whether it is natural raw gold
or manufactured gold such as coins and gold jewelry.
In this case, the search is random and the area or place where the target is likely to be located is dug using traditional manual digging tools and the probability of discovering a valuable target is very low because it is done randomly.
Using maps
To narrow the search, you can use maps of the target location or it can be an old map of a buried treasure
by pirates or a map showing the distribution of minerals in the ground issued by international or local surveying agencies.
Maps help to search in a specific place and avoid searching randomly and in many cases, targets
and treasures of great value and archaeological value have been found using maps, but obtaining these maps may not be easy.
However, modern technologies can be used to obtain maps or aerial photos of the place to be searched, for example, Google Maps.
Following the signs
In the past, many of a person’s belongings were buried with him in his grave, such as gold jewelry, metal tools, and even weapons.
Or the person would bury his treasure in a specific place, for example, near a rock or a tree, etc.
Usually, the person would draw signs to guide him to his treasure in case he wanted to return to it to extract it.
Many amateur and experienced prospectors follow these signs in search of evidence of a potential treasure burial place such as a jar full of gold coins
There are many signs, terms and symbols that indicate something or a place
There are special books that contain the meanings of these signs and their analysis. These books can be consulted in search of potential treasures in the prospecting area
Searching in archaeological areas
Many ancient civilizations such as the Sumerians, Assyrians and Babylonians in Iraq, the Arameans, Phoenicians and Canaanites in the Levant and the ancient Egyptians in Egypt left
… many monuments, buildings and archaeological tombs, some of which are still standing and existing and some of which were buried under the sand and forgotten..
There are many important archaeological sites in the Arab world that were prosperous cities in ancient times such as Tell Mardikh (Ebla), Ugarit and Apamea in Syria
– Babylon and Ur in Iraq – Baalbek and Tyre in Lebanon – Giza And Taiba in Egypt … etc.
You can search near these areas for buried treasures and treasures with a high probability of being found because these areas were residential areas or cemeteries and shrines and may contain many treasures
Such as gold and silver coins – cooking tools and utensils made of silver or bronze
– Statues – Weapons such as swords and daggers – Women’s gold jewelry such as rings, bracelets and necklaces…
However, in most countries, searching in archaeological places and sites is legally prohibited and exposes its owner to legal accountability
Therefore, you must be careful and follow the laws of your country before searching anywhere.
Search in specific terrains
When searching for natural gold, for example, you can search in specific places and terrains, such as rocks
of a certain type that are accompanied by the presence of gold in its metallic form
And usually limited areas of the earth contain within their crust natural gold that is distributed
in the form of scattered grains or rock veins containing large quantities of gold.
In these cases, the researcher can dig in shallow areas without the need for a raw gold detector
Where it is easy to find small grains and nuggets of raw gold at depths not exceeding half a meter.
Disadvantages of manual gold detection methods
Despite the possibility of following the previous methods to detect gold and treasures manually without a device, there are many disadvantages, including
A high probability of error and not finding anything even after great effort and many attempts
Not knowing the exact location of the treasure or gold, thus wasting time for no reason
The possibility that the maps, for example, are wrong or the person makes a mistake in reading and interpreting them, thus not reaching the location of the treasure
Some methods require certain knowledge and experience that the amateur does not have, for example, analyzing the symbols of signals and treasures
The prospector is exposed to danger and possible trial and imprisonment, for example, when searching in archaeological areas
