Hello, I am a brand new member and prospector. I drove out to Grizzly Gold A / Grizzly Bear 2 in Plumas Ca. a couple of days ago . The claim name was blacked out on the placard for Grizzly Bear A , and there was no placard for Grizzly Bear 2.(I walked down the road as instructed) I think I read somewhere that it is BLM land So, my question is, how do I know for certain that this is a legal place to pan I appreciate any input/direction.

Hello all GPAA members, this was posted on the Coker Creek chapter site. East coast prospectors take note, especially the underlined part near the bottom.
To all Recreational Prospectors.
The TDEC (The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation) has just sent us their final draft of the 2014-15 Recreational Prospecting Permit. The news is not good. Many changes were made from the last draft that we posted and from the way Allen Trotter and I (Chuck Pharis) read it, it l...

Avoiding Claim Jumping 41041 5
Started by conrardy5@comcast.net
I have a question that seems to be very complicated, but I was hoping someone out there might be able to simplify it for me. I have been doing TONS of research trying to figure out how to avoid claim jumping on BLM lands. I feel like I've figured out about 95 of the process, but can't figure out the last little bit, or I am completely going about this the wrong way. Here's what I've figured out so far:
Step 1: I go to mylandmatters.com and locate a BLM area that looks interes...

Trouble in Idaho 18835 2
Started by lsiedlecki2002@yahoo.com
If any of you are AMRA members also, you already know what's going on in Idaho. AMRA members are being denied their rights to LEGAL claims by the USFS and also by the Idaho Department of Water resources. Neither organization can point to a law forbidding the activity and have cited jail time and fines if they do not cease mining. This is a call to action to all miners and Patriots! Do not allow the liberal bastions of eco putzes to destroy our way of life simply because they don't like it. Start...

Oregon River Democracy Act 19139 5
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
The two Oregon Senators have introduced the above bill in Congress. It will add over 4,000 miles of Oregon waterways to the Wild and Scenic River system. It will include 640 acres per river mile---that is 1/2 mile on either side if ordinary high water line. All lands and waters designated will be withdrawn from mineral entry. What that means is, you can't file a claim, and if an existing claim is closed for any reason, it can't be refiled, and it's gone forever This b...

I contacted this person to let them know the error of there ways, but got the mind your own buisness attitude. c...

How to find claims to lease? 20082 3
Started by cmc.80439@yahoo.com
I’m not sure if this is the right forum section for this or not I have a cpl. Placer Claims in Colorado and Alaska. They are decent for smallish amounts of super fine gold. I have 3 young boys that love spending time at the claims (gold or not). I’d like to find some more productive ground in Colorado even if it is a lease deal. I’d be fine with something like a 20 deal if I could reasonably get ~1oz per week using mostly man power and my small trailer mounted wash plant. Where do I...

I'm not even sure where to post this as its my first post here. Mostly I just scan the forums and property listings for interesting ideas on places to go panning. This had me thinking. recently a Buddy of mine filed for a mining claim in Nevada which he said was rather easy by comparison to California. Does anyone have experience or know how to do this in California. I've looked around online for a while and the information doesn't seem that helpful. As he put it, 'Yeah they bury the forms on p...
