2 Replies and 4188 Views Downieville Claim Location  4188  2 Started by  Campas5454@gmail.com The D AND J 1 claim next to Downieville CA says there is a switch back trail that leads to the claim. Has anyone been there Very difficult hike, no decent trail could be found, looked for hours. All I could assume is walk through the creek for a mile, as my GPS shows, or maybe all the brush is heavily overgrown. Sides of canyon are very steep so options are limited. Any tips

2 Replies and 4967 Views New member  4967  2 Started by  jeremyperkins022@gmail.com Hi everyone, I'm glad to be a member of this wonder group. This has been a goal of mine for 7 years now and love prospecting. I am living in Hesperia, CA and have been to both Lytle Creek area and East Fork on the San Gabriel River. Next I plan to go to Stanton, AZ for a while and test out the claim there then we'll see where life takes me from there.

  Looks like Obama has hit us again by eliminating the old system and putting something in there that you will have to have a major in computer science in to use, just 18 more days if he don't take us all prisoner before then. Tom

1 Replies and 4138 Views Chapters joining forces via Facebook!  4138  1 Started by  crashcrain@gmail.com Our Chapter recently got into a heated battle with the BLM trying to close down hundreds of thousands of acres in our region alone. Because those that want all prospecting shut down are very organized and doing the majority of the protesting we decided to try to join Chapters via the most commonly used website for Social Media, Facebook.     As much as I don't like using the site our message and the people wishing to join our fight took off. People from prospectors, other chapters,...
