black sand away from Gold? 5191 9
Started by kenny.stites@gmail.com
Last fall I bought a miner's wheel. I have screened my sand down to 1/8' and run it several times, I still have rocks( not gold) in the cup and in the bottom of the wheel. I hate panning, kills my back and knees. I know there is plenty of Gold in the sand as have seen it. I've used twisters to get a couple of chunks that were just smaller than pickers out. I can't decide to just snif all the black sand and gold then heat the fry pan to get rid of the water, and run a magnet over it to remove the...

New Member in NW Arizona looking for advice 4904 6
Started by twistedwanderings@icloud.com
Hello. we just moved to the area and got our first detector. (Minelab Xterra 705 Gold). We joined GPAA for the education in the hobby as well as access to the claims that GPAA has. I was wondering what to expect when we visit the claims that GPAA has as far as other people, and if the area is friendly. We are looking out by Dolan Springs, AZ Specifically.
Thanks and we are excited to get out and see what we can find!

Country Boy Mine 1988 2
Started by globalcommunity247@gmail.com
Why does the GPAA list the Country Boy Mine as one of it's claim It's messed up. This is an underground mine tour and is no way affiliated with the GPAA. This is a recipe for disappointment for anyone who goes to this claim. I ask GPAA to take it off the list.

Basic to intermediate advice appreciated 7994 6
Started by Sethk57@yahoo.com
Hello, Im relatively new to prospecting and currently a resident of Pennsylvania. Soon I will be striking it out to the southwest to find some color. Any advice concerning gear, terrain, technique would be awesome. I will primarily be prospecting/panning in Arizona. Maybe Idaho, Utah and Colorado too. I'll be doing all of my panning in the field and also interested in metal detecting. I have a general metal detector and a fair amount of experience. I've studied my mining guide to some extent but...

US or State by State map 10156 7
Started by edmyall@yahoo.com
When I am looking for gpaa claims in my (or another) state it would be beneficial to me to be able to look at one map of the state and see where all of the claims are. It doesn't sound like it would be that hard, and it would make my life easier. Anybody else like the idea

New member question 1509 1
Started by jheard82@icloud.com
Hi, I am a new member anxiously looking forward to receiving my membership kit and getting involved. I’m new to prospecting other than running a few pans back in middle school. My family and I have been to a pay to play place here in GA and found some gold there. We were all excited at our first find. My son is looking forward to getting out into a creek again. I was curious if I had to wait to receive my kit before we visit a claim, or if having my membership number is enough
