Greenhorn 2 GPAA 5024 3
Started by n2sound8435@sbcglobal.net
I just joined the GPAA and I'm in the process to learn this web sight and all of the great tools of information and so much more, that said, I'm just a greenhorn.
I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me. Would like to know if any local Los Angeles, Kern County or So Cal group outings get put together on this Form. Would like to find out or how too join a group of fellow gold prospectors.
Best,
Erick J

Downieville Claim Location 4494 2
Started by Campas5454@gmail.com
The D AND J 1 claim next to Downieville CA says there is a switch back trail that leads to the claim. Has anyone been there Very difficult hike, no decent trail could be found, looked for hours. All I could assume is walk through the creek for a mile, as my GPS shows, or maybe all the brush is heavily overgrown. Sides of canyon are very steep so options are limited. Any tips

Hi everyone, I'm glad to be a member of this wonder group. This has been a goal of mine for 7 years now and love prospecting. I am living in Hesperia, CA and have been to both Lytle Creek area and East Fork on the San Gabriel River. Next I plan to go to Stanton, AZ for a while and test out the claim there then we'll see where life takes me from there.

Looks like Obama has hit us again by eliminating the old system and putting something in there that you will have to have a major in computer science in to use, just 18 more days if he don't take us all prisoner before then. Tom

Chapters joining forces via Facebook! 4384 1
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
Our Chapter recently got into a heated battle with the BLM trying to close down hundreds of thousands of acres in our region alone. Because those that want all prospecting shut down are very organized and doing the majority of the protesting we decided to try to join Chapters via the most commonly used website for Social Media, Facebook.
As much as I don't like using the site our message and the people wishing to join our fight took off. People from prospectors, other chapters,...

Went prospecting at the PCSC Claim this weekend only to find gold. The strange thing is, I was pick axing on the wall face to DryWash, when cleaning my con's I found some very strange teardrop BB or round gold. Has anyone seen gold like this before Some said that some one must of seeded the grounds but I said that's impossible because I was picking at virgin ground. Any help would be nice.

Started by garyingabq@gmail.com
Hi all,
I could use some help. I'm totally new. Went to the Little Jo and Little Jo 2 claims in Socorro County NM. The directions in the mining guide were very close so I found the road easily. The claim was to be about 6.33 miles after the highway turnoff. The road even had markers every .35 mile. I thought piece of cake as the actually goes through part of the claim from the map. When I got to the 6.25 mile marker I went very slowly to look for anything posted. Nothing...

With all this stormy I have plenty of time on my hands to deal with a small bucket of my 2 cons off my shaker table. With a record run on the table from materials found on our last outing of the year producing 2000 grams of 1 cons out of a 5 gallon bucket I had thought I had a great recovery but was to realize that I had just as much gold in the 2 cons as the 1cons. Even after pre soaking in dishwasher soap and micro managing the table and a all clear water run the clays still ...
