Gold prospecting Equipment

For 30 days we ran an independent poll on "Who Do You Buy Your Equipment From?". The results were interesting. We purposely picked dealers that sell more than one type of equipment or product. What do these results tell us?

Who gives the best service? The best price? The most trusted dealers? All good questions. The drop from first place to second place and lower is just massive in percentages! Our first place winners, Rob Allison and Bill Southern both dominated the poll with a whopping 35.94 percent of the vote each! Is this bad bad press for some? Many of us see it as free advertising for these dealers - and that is what it is. Other dealers were also listed but no one voted for them so they have been excluded on this page. Other prospectors just like you have spoken their minds and this is the result.

The percentages shown are the percentage of votes people cast in favor of a particular dealer.

I have to add to this in all fairness that at the time the poll was taken Russ Ford Prospecting was not a business entity. Who the hell is Russ Ford anyway? Click here to find out!
