Going to plan a week trip over to that area. There is a GPAA claim Carol Placer. Anyone ever work this ground and how did you do. Also wondering if I should be exploring other areas, there is so much BLM to cover around there. Will have 5th wheel and ATV, hopefully there is a good camping spot near the claim.

Heading o Quartzsite AZ for 2 wks soon. Any suggestions? 14756 11
Started by kevn4332@yahoo.com
I'll be tent camping, driving a jeep and drywashing. I might borrow a buddy's Garrett detector. Anyways, from what I've read you're not allowed to camp in the Quartzsite deserts. Your supposed to stay on BLM campgrounds and pay. Add to which they offer zero provisions like water/showers/etc. Has anyone tent camped out there w/o issue I don't want to have to pack up and drive 10 miles to go to a campground every night. Maybe every few days I'll head into town for supplies and take a showe...

I'm new to the GPAA family, and also new to prospecting in the San Diego area. I have a M/D, and a lot of 'wet' prospecting gear. I have done quite a bit of prospecting up in the Sierras, dredging, sluicing, etc., but new to metal detecting. I have looked at the claims in the book I received, but would love some real world advice on where to go. I am retired, so have the time, I have a newer f-150, but no 4-WD.

Gold Basin - First Time Drywashing - Need Pointers for Pay layers 5786 2
Started by ryan.weidert@gmail.com
Hello All,
I'm headed down to Arizona (from Colorado) for my first attempt at desert gold prospecting. I am thinking of Gold Basin for dry washing (as well as some meteorite hunting) and was hoping to glean some tips as to what to look for in that area regarding the gold bearing gravels. I've been reading (and watching) whatever I can about it, and know that the gold is found in the gravels on top of the caliche false bedrock, which typically is 1-5' thick. Ive read that some area...

I'm a new member of the GPAA and currently looking into participating in a LDMA Outing in 2015. Being on the East coast of the U.S.A. it appears that Loudmine and Vein Mountain are the easiest to attend. I was wondering if anyone had any input as to which outing would be best as a first timer. Also is there any significant difference between the June Outings and the October Outings other than the weather Are there RV's available to rent at the camps or is it camp with what you bring T...
