Colechy 1503 3
Started by davemarlow16@gmail.com
High in the Mountains of Colorado, I found a creek that has a 6 foot high bank on one side it consists of 6 inch round rocks and a black very hard material possibly volcanic ash It will crumble if hit with a pick but is very tough, there is maybe 12 to 24 inches of sandy clay on top. I tried to pan the sandy clay layer and have found no gold or black sand just blond sand in pan. There has been much mining just above here, could this be spent coal from the steam engines they used to operate th...

incorrect coordinates and little data 1773 2
Started by prospector217@gmail.com
comparing coordinates in 50th anniversary edition and GPAA web site (blue moon, smith placer claims) coordinates are close but not exact. The 2014 edition gives townships ranges and sections were the 50th edition and the web site only gives latitude and longitude and no information on driving directions. Also how do you know if a claim is still active with the GPAA and has not been taken back or has became a close claim.

New N' Blue Too 1527 1
Started by apps@holstmoney.com
Hi all, I'm relatively new to prospecting, bought some pans and a folding sluice, took my first trip a couple months ago to the Arkansas River downstream a bit from Point Barr in Colorado and managed to find some gold dust using a 14' and 10' pan (didn't have sluice yet). I think I found so little and such small gold because I was going through very little material *very* slowly and was not digging very deep, but was happy to find some on my first trip and was nice to visit mountains again. N...

Started by ronk9909@outlook.com
Hi there, I am 100 new to the whole world of prospecting. I am in Easley, SC and have been bouncing around location to location looking for the goods. In the two or three weeks that I have been doing this, I have completed enough research to make me feel like I was seeking a degree in geology. Anyway, I found a promising location (at least from my research of the past and current), but I am having the hardest time with my method of panning. Here is what I am dealing with: lots of black sand and...

Silicone Mat for Blue Bowl 2566 2
Started by cmckeever@comcast.net
Hi, I saw a video on YouTube by Alan Robertson about how gold seems to stick to a silicone mat. He made one and put it into a Blue Bowl and it seemed to work well. I believe he was using gold from Flower Gold Wizard. Has anybody tried this, and does it work If it does work, can one buy these mats (I am not handy at making things.) I'm interested in beach gold.

Hello All I joined GPAA prior to the plague, so therefore I have yet to venture out. But I'm getting ready. But I keep reading about the LMDA and its 'camps', locations, etc. I have left messages with the membership folks what's the difference(other than the price) but I guess they are locked down- 1) Can GPAA members use the LDMA camps 2) What do LDMA members get that GPAA don't 3) Does LDMA have different claims from the GPAA I could swing the Lost Dutch fees, but I have been unabl...

Information on Triple D and M claim 3515 4
Started by gabrielmcguffey@gmail.com
Hello, I was wondering if anybody from the staff has any information on the Triple D and M claim in Ventura County, CA on Piru Creek. It is the closest claim to my house and there is no information under the directions or prospecting tabs in the claim directory. I haven't received my member package in the mail yet but was hoping to read something on the claim in the meantime.
