Researching before a claim. 5447 3
Started by calking@verizn.net
I have looked at a place I would like to possibly claim. How would I go about, 1) finding out if there is a claim there already, 2) finding out if it is open to mining.

Hello everyone,
I just moved to the Leavenworth KS area and am looking for anyone with local knowledge that I could tag along with poking around. I am relatively new to the prospecting game but want to learn what I can from those who know. Just shoot me a PM if you live in the area. Thanks in advance.

Spriggs Property Ohio - any tips 6613 1
Started by rhunt01@ius.edu
Hello:
I am planning my first visit to a GPAA site - the Spriggs property near Lucasville, OH. I will only have about 6 hours at the site. Anyone been there who can give some advice on a work plan. I have a small sluice. Since it is on a large river I am concerned if there is enough flow and drop--otherwise, shovel and pan. Any tips on good spots that might lead me to my first nice flake or nugget would be appreciated. Thanks

What is the best way to charge a 12v battery in the field Will a direct 12v(car lighter out)to alligator clips work Jumper cables It seems easy enough but this will be our first outing and I have no direct experience nor have I observed this accomplished firsthand. Cars have evolved from the simple machines of yesteryear and I do not wish to damage myself/others or the vehicles electronics.

Permits 5134 2
Started by benji27potf@yahoo.com
Hi, I plan on going onto the GPAA claims to pan, sluice and metal detect. The counties I plan on visiting are in El Dorado and Plumas counties.
What kind of prospecting requires permits in CA
Might seem like a silly question but I rather be safe than sorry.
Also to visit these GPAA claims, do I have to get a hold of the claim owner or is that something that members can visit anytime
Thank you for your time.

I am in Reno Nevada this week and have weekends free. Planning on going north to Pershing or Humboldt Counties to metal detect. Any one interested I am not yet sure where I want to go except somewhere that obviously has gold waiting to be found. Probably avoid Rye Patch and possibly try Santa Rosa mountains. Any good ideas where to go I will likely bring my Whites TLD and a pan, classifier, and water...

Trying Out Idaho 12940 8
Started by Sopchoppy7@aol.com
Hi to everyone out there. I am new to GPAA (so forgive any ignorant questions). My son and I are heading out west in June with a final destination of Idaho to give prospecting a hearty try. I am planning on trying out the GPAA claims while there. I just read that you can also request a 3 day trial to LDMA once. Are there any LDMA claims in Idaho I welcome any advice that could help us be a little less green while working for that first flash of gold.

Hello everyone,
I am new to this whole thing, so any help will be appreciated. I ended up on a family trip and we will be heading to the Black Hills of SD today for a few hours. The rest of the family wants to hit the casinos, but I would much rather be outside playing in the dirt. I wasn't expecting this stop so I don't have any equipment with me, so I was wondering if there was anything in the Deadwood area that could be productive and where I could get at lea...

I need a small fireplace shovel 6286 2
Started by rhunt01@ius.edu
Several weeks ago (before joining) I ran into a couple of members of the southern Indiana GPA at Morgan/Monroe State Forest where large shovels are not permitted. Had a nice conversation but I forgot to write down their names (I have trouble remembering names). Anyway, one of them showed me a small, flat bottomed fireplace shovel that I just have to have. Lowe's has a cheap fireplace shovel that a five year old could bend in half. I have looked all over the internet, but ...
