Started by bfbutler@hotmail.com
Hello friends, my wife and I just moved back to Redondo Beach CA from Seattle WA. I recently joined the GPAA and we are interested in learning how to mine for gold using the various equipment (pans, sluices, high bankers, dry washers, etc) as well as learn how to look for gold and file claims. I also enjoy metal detecting and am interested in meeting up with like minded folks to do some prospecting with. I did a small amount of prospecting in the San Bernardino Mountains back in the 1970's when ...

Keene 190 series drywasher - opinions? 2656 0
Started by jlocke1970@att.net
Hello all,
I have my eyes on the new Keene 190 (actually the 192, with the wet conversion kit) drywasher. Before I go drop a pretty penny, I thought I'd ask if anyone out there has any experience with one. I know that one was featured on an episode of Gold Trails......would just appreciate the input of anybody else that may have some hours using one. It sure seems like a pretty sweet piece of equipment!
Thanks,
Jim

Need a bit of help getting outfitted 13055 39
Started by challengerdev@gmail.com
Fairly new at this; have a few pans and a small power sluice. Could use your collected wisdom on better outfitting myself. Clothing / waders / shovels & crevicers, all that ancillary stuff. If it has worked for you it will probably work for me, too. What has made your forays better (and maybe profitable) Thanx.

Since this was announced a few days ago I have been reading up on what all it includes and requires permits for because I fear it will effect all of us that like to play in the streams.

If somebody more talented in the legal field than myself could please bring light onto the topic it would be much appreciated I am looking for the full 2000 page New Regulation to read for...
