Reading the stream/creek/brook 6292 9
Started by justins_iphone@ymail.com
I am fairly new to the gold panning world and have learned a lot from good people that I have met on in the waters and banks. However I have been out multiple times on a gold producing creek and have recovered small colors from my pans. Just yesterday I was out and met this guy and he was having pretty good luck up here in the north east and showed me his findings and there were some pickers and good flakes. I have been to this creek many of times over the past couple months and only pulled out ...

Staking your own claim 7322 4
Started by gulfcoastfishing@att.net
Ok I have researched and found a piece of land in a township that appears to have no claims on BLM /Forrest Service Land. I have narrowed that out of a section this land 1/4 of the section should be available actually more however thats the section I was focusing on. Now I am interested in 80 acres of that 160 acres Do I stake it and file as 1 claim it seems somewhere I read i have to register it in 20 acres. Also is the fee higher for 80 acres compared to 20 if all in same connected land mass.....

Started by TEDNICOL@MSN.COM
I have a hatred for the need of certain people to always try and control our lives and all in the name of FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE crap !
I am not trying to stir up trouble but I am wanting some input to an idea. These people need to understand that their constant meddling in other peoples affairs can be turned against them. I have read that the majority of our GOD GIVEN RIVERS that are rich in gold are the ones that these people ALWAYS target to stop us from dredging or...

Claim Maps 3854 3
Started by Rreedone@comcast.net
All,
When I searched the forums I didn't see this question answered, although it seems like it would have been and I just didn't see it:
Where can I get detailed maps of mining claims like the ones in the printed mining guide In particular the Golden Tattoo, Fantastic, Lucky Strike, Quad C, R Double J listed in the online properties guide (which isn't in the printed guide and doesn't seem to have been in the Pick and Shovel updates).

Snake Season again, be careful! 3836 7
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
As a Texan I am super cautious about snakes and thought I would be the last person to ever get bit, WRONG. Heading to my truck off the claim I heard a hiss but no rattle and felt a sting on my leg. I thought maybe a wasp or hornet had gotten in my jeans and stung me right above the boot level so I checked my jeans and there was nothing there so I continued to my truck and drove home. While driving I noticed my vision was as if I was looking through a fog, that and I felt terrible. So whe...

Started by electronicswebring@yahoo.com
Noticed tonight just looking for new reading material that the LDMA sub forums are not viewable topics for me. I’d rather not have them clog up my list of forums if I am denied read rights. How can I block these from showing up in my forums list I see the arrow yes, but I would rather not have to click that every time I log in. Thanks

New member, help with claims/places to go in central California 5212 6
Started by tpalecek1@gmail.com
Hey everyone, glad to finally be a member of the GPAA! When I was growing up I went with my grandparents every weekend to the Greeley Hill area to look for gold. My grandpa would dredge and me and my grandma would pan and sluice. We didn't strike it rich but we got gold every time we went out. I've been trying to get started prospecting again but it's little bit intimidating. I've spent hours looking at online claim maps looking for unclaimed areas to try out. It just feels like everything ...
