GarrettPro Pointer 8220 9
Started by 73mcj73@gmail.com
Hello
I am a Greenhorn,..I bought a Garrett Pro Gold MD, a pan, and a few other 'do-dads'...it looks like the orange water pro would be useful on dry land and under water. I see Garrett just came out with an updated black (dry land) model that looks good,..but dry land.
I would love to hear from of you users,..what you think about the actual item and is it useful,...and the model you like and why.
Thank you ahead of time for any information you can inpart.
MCJ

Is it possible to still find gold in hydromined areas??? 6255 14
Started by ChrisGarrison16@Gmail.com
I am in Columbia California and I was wondering if it was possible to find gold in Hydromined areas, I was doing some landscaping and got to what I think would be a great spot, however I wanted to know first if it is worth it and is still possible to uncover some gold there. Since most of the area is claimed off and there is only 1 GPAA claim near me, I have been looking for my own spots to prospect, some areas I went and farted around down in Jamestown I found some gold. This spot that I found ...

For those that saw the Gold Trails show where Kevin stopped by the store in Bend and thoughtyou might want to drop by, forget it.
I was in central Oregon Mon.-Wed. and stopped by yesterday to pick up a couple of classifiers and lo and behold the store is closed and cleaned out, with signs on the doors saying storefront is gone, but the toll free phone line is still up and running for orders.

Good morning, everybody;
The wife and I will be making a trip in two weeks to an area we are going to test . We will be classifying and collecting samples from many different locations then returning to camp (where the H2O is located) to process.
My question is: Any recommendations for good, sturdy 'sample bags'
In the past I have tried gallon sized 'zip lock' type plastic bags (they did not impress me) that seemed to come apart due to friction in the backpack being carried in...... could ha...

Dredging in the news 3920 5
Started by worldavi@gate.net
Gee it was great to see the dredging topic on the front page news on Fox. All about the upcoming ban in Oregon. This is really going to push the subject out in front of everyone. Only bad thing is, the story kind of leans with the salmon and many people dont fully understand how the dredging works. Its easy to see them get swayed by the libs to support bans. I have already seen many comments from people thinking 'miners' are these big corporations intent on taking away all the gold in the river ...

GPAA Claim maps 22337 12
Started by larryannen@gmail.com
I'm out traveling again, and find myself with some spare time in Denver.
I've got a small pan and shovel with me, and my GTI-2500.
So, I thought I'd get on the site and look up a GPAA claim near Denver. I just don't have room in my luggage to haul the map book around. Is there an online map book How about a digital version of the map book
Many thanks,
Larry
