Claim markings 3389 3
Started by tad4646@yahoo.com
I went to a GPAA claim for the first time yesterday. ( NORTH FORK FALLS ) I was guessing it was directly across from the campground but I did not see any claim placards across or behind the campground.

3in Dryland dredge nozzle question 3079 2
Started by c.butters74@gmail.com
I'm new to dredging. Just bough a 3in dryland dredge nozzle from GBE Mandrel. When I run it in my highbanker with the keene pump (2in) supplying it, it blows out the nose of the nozzle. I'm wondering if it is a problem with the nozzle, or perhaps my highbanker being higher than the nozzle is the issue. (~3feet ish) I bring up the possibility of it being the gun, because when I look inside the gun at the jet itsself, its necked down to maybe 1/2' -3/4' max... And would assume it needed to be b...

Place that's easily accessible 2928 1
Started by roehoe72@yahoo.com
I'm looking for a place to take my blind brother. We have reconnected after a 6 year fall out, and in that time I have been bitten by the gold bug. I live near Sacramento, and would love to take him to a place to pan. I'd prefer a gpaa claim, as I'm a new member. But anywhere would be ok. I tried the bear river at the campground my first time, which I know is accessable, but I heard it's just fine gold, and I got skunked my first time there (which honestly was my first time prospecting). Any and...

Hello all! My name is Adam and i live here in Montana and just joined the GPAA. I'm not really that green as I have been prospecting since i was a kid. I have explored much of Montana but there's still so much to discover and explore here and near my area of Hamilton. My local area is what i would describe as the hole with no gold but surrounded by it, which literally couldn't be far from the truth! There are areas to prospect around here but usually you would have to go through other people'...

Arizona Prospecting 3570 8
Started by Stancalavan1964@gmail.com
Good evening, I bought a new Royal explorer drywasher and have been trying to dial it in on my back porch. I found a spot near Morristown that has pretty good fine gold. I brought a sample bucket home to play with. Dried it all out and my first run got 5 small specks. I ran the material again and found nothing. Decided to do a half a pan of the same material and found another 7 small specks that the drywasher missed. I am running the blower on idol so I know that I am not blowing the gold out....
