Greenhorn planning a Road Trip 2454 7
Started by costley_m@yahoo.com
Planning a road trip, hoping to leave in a week. I am only 2wd capable with a small camper. I can only pan a crevice at this time, but hope to expand on that. I am looking to spend some time at the Greyback claim in NM and other claims near Wickenburg, AZ, then probably check out Quartzite, AZ. From that point I will checkout other options for my trip. I hope to reach Greyback by 01/20/21. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Would also like to meet other members to help show me the ropes...

New to Prospecting- Oregon 2585 9
Started by robertdmcgee@gmail.com
I have been going through the prospecting forums for claims in the State of Oregon. By what I have read, there aren't too many and finding very little color to make it worth while. My main concern is the accessibility of the GPAA claims in my State. 2WD vehicle as well, so that has to be taken into consideration as to where I can go. I have panned in SD in the area of Deadwood back in August, spoke to BLM there where I can pan and I had a lot of fun. 2.73g isn't too bad for a first timer. I...

Hello Everyone I am proudly a greenhorn. I am heading up to the Vulture Bait (AZ) claim this weekend on my first prospecting trip tomorrow. I built a small recirculating Highbanker (about the same size as the Keene Mini Max) I know it is short notice , but I am just looking for a any advice on where I should focus on the claim or any other claim in the area. I have pretty low expectations on finding much gold, I just want to know if the Highbanker I built will work . I had some pay di...

Your Best Bet 3018 14
Started by GSHRUM101@YAHOO.COM
Good day all. Yes I am a greenhorn and not afraid to admit it. I have looked forward for a long time to put my first bit of dirt in a gold pan. I have been a member for many years and have never been prospecting one single time in my life. I believed in what the GPAA stood for and for what they were doing for their members. I have dreamed of going to the Alaska Gold Camp but I understand it is not operating any longer as a community camp. I just became a lifetime member and want to plan my first...

Started by a.good19@yahoo.com
Hey all, been pannin for the last year mostly in the Molalla river area which has been good to cut my teeth on , but I’d really like to branch out. I’d really like to check out the Quartzville area this weekend provided it has reopened since the fires Molalla River has limited access since. I’m not gonna lie, I am a little overwhelmed trying to learn the basics of being a Gpaa greenhorn, and have yet to hit a claim. If anyone out there is willing to learn an aspiring prospector I would truly be...

Who's ready to get out and find some treasure/gold 2358 8
Started by aztreasurehunter@outlook.com
If anyone is interested in meeting up to go do some treasure hunting or gold mining/panning please let me know. I am new to the hobby and enjoying every moment. That said i have my own equipment so I am ready to go. I prefer to prospect and explore with a group. It gets kind of sketchy being in the desert by yourself.
