1 Replies and 5343 Views Did not find the claim  5343  1 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...

4 Replies and 3300 Views Finding a place to try out- CO  3300  4 Started by  phillip.a.gibson@gmail.com It is a little overwhelming trying to find a place I can go checkout.  Is it an active claim, am I allowed to mine in the area, can I use a high banker, is it private property, are the Rangers going to take my stuff and give me a ticket, etc... How can I find an area before hand without driving up and finding out there is no parking or the area is privately owned (even though its in the national forest)  I even tried out some of the local spots along I70 near Denver but it was extre...

1 Replies and 4457 Views BUSTING CLAYS!  4457  1 Started by  debatom@msn.com 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 ...

Everyone needs to write Mr. Pruitt a letter. Be respectful & ask him for help to uphold the 1872 Mining Act. Describe how Gold Miners & Prospectors need as much help as the Coal Miners need. Tell him that the BLM & USFS are using environmental rules to stop Gold prospectors from doing what clearly is our right to do...Prospect for Gold. Tell Mr. Pruitt that roads are blocked to Gold claims, Prosp...

6 Replies and 9845 Views Help with staking a claim  9845  6 Started by  s.britch@lafilm.edu Hello! I'm still pretty new to staking a claim. I'm in Alaska and have an idea of where I want to stake a claim...I'm checked with BLM and checked out alaskamapper.com and can't find any issues. Well, I'm not sure exactly how to start the process....like which forms and whatnot to fill out. It's winter now, but I'd love to have my claim ready for spring/summer. Anyone experienced with staking claims in Alaska Thanks!

Anybody have any tips or suggestions  I plan to have a 1/2' hardware cloth under the top mesh to help with strength and rigidity of the catch cloth... just need a little direction on the material to us that wont ...

5 Replies and 10870 Views GRAVITY DREDGING AND BEATING THE SYSTEM!  10870  5 Started by  debatom@msn.com   My buddy and claim owner neighbor came by for me to help him with some mapping and we got talking about all the water this year and his gravity system which is a 6' pipe with 3' nozzle sucking from the upper end and dumping in a sluice box. I'm glad he is upstream from us because he's sent plenty of fine gold and flakes our way. So I decided to try my hand at this using a different concept with 100 ft. of 3' corrugated plastic pipe necked down to 11/2' at the bottom to make hea...

2 Replies and 5284 Views IS MINING IN YOUR BLOOD AND HERITAGE?  5284  2 Started by  debatom@msn.com My bride tells me in a recent post by my cousin from Colfax ca. on facebook that she had uncovered ownership of mines by our relatives from the past.
