Strategies to restrain those who are in office from controlling and limiting our freedom to prospect ! 2882 1
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 4527 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! 4264 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...

How can I ALWAYS hide the LDMA sub forum 1736 0
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 6262 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 ...

Hello All,
Just thought I would write a wee bit as I just joined the GPAA. Have been panning a bit and getting some small bits here and there around Southern California for a few months now. Just got my Minelab GM 1000 so going to take that out sometime soon and see what damage I can do with that as well. Travel a lot for work, so hoping I can experience some of the different GPAA claims around the US as schedule permits. I also like flyfishing, so there is some travel c...

Hello, I am a new member and new to this Forum. I am from the UK and am now living in Murrieta California. Prospecting is new to me, but I just love the whole idea.

Hi I'm Shane -
I moved to the Denver area early last year and have been spending a lot of time on the rivers in and around the area looking for gold. I've had a bit luck every time, of course not enough gold to retire on - of course that's not really my goal..I just like getting out there away from the city.
I recently decided to start sharing some of my gold prospecting, metal detecting and experiment videos on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/kleshguitars . I decided t...
