Hello Prospectors and Miners 45905 30
Started by khoagland@goldprospectors.org
Hi Prospectors,
I asked our Social Media Guru Paul to create this area within the Forum to make it a bit easier for me to see and respond to Members Prospecting & Mining questions.
There have been a number of occasions that I have missed questions that were directed to me, this is not going to be the case any longer. I can't say that I will respond immediately because of of my schedule and the fact that there are a lot of places I travel that simply do not have connectivity. But know tha...

Operating mechanical equipment near stream in California 4710 9
Started by seantbush@hotmail.com
Hi Kevin, At the Gold Trails event at I Bar in May you discussed the California prohibition against operating mechanical equipment within 300' of a river or stream. I was interested in learning more and wondered if you would expound upon that topic a bit. What are the specific regs I couldn't find something that would prohibit say a dry washer operating at 275' from a stream. I have confidence in your knowledge, but I couldn't properly explain this to one of my buds in my local club. Th...

Hi Kevin. I saw a post that said that sme of the area on these claims had been removed from prospecting. A picture of the sign gave limited information of the removal. Do you have any information (coords,etc) that you could add Thanks, Matt Stempky

LDMA Claim, Leadville, CO 11520 19
Started by fritzj8@yahoo.com
I am trying to find someone who has visited the LDMA Claim in Leadville, CO. I am considering upgrading to an LDMA membership, and this is the only claim I would be able to use. I don't want to waist thousands of dollars on an LDMA membership if the claim is not any good. GPAA told me there are no hosts there, which might say a lot about the claim. I appreciate anything you can tell me. Thanks,

new terminology 2558 1
Started by Banquogordon@gmail.com
I was recently doing some map research on potential prospecting locations in my state. A VERY promising location showed up inside a National Forest. So I started looking into National Forest prospecting regs. They vary massively from one state to another, but all are based in the same federal statute. Apparently, it is simply how some local fellow interprets the wording. Which brings me to a term I have not heard or understand. What is 'collecting gold by hand' Now, obviously, I can...

Wondering if there is a section in the Forum that one can ask if anyone will be on a particular claim on a particular day I'm going to Placer Pete on Tuesday and would rather be around other GPAA members than by myself as per my wife, who's worried about my health. Thank you.

Already lost the rainbow now it looks like the Eagle Eye, This is from the minutes in the local club. brought up that He, along with & AAAA have a lease agreement with the GPAA on the Eagle Eye.

Upcoming Bautista Meet up Questions 2672 1
Started by srandall@hughes.net
I'm new to GPAA even though I've been off and on gold panning Central CA for about 20 years. I signed up for the Bautista Claim meet up on 18-19 October because I've never searched for gold in anyplace that wasn't a creek or river. I own 2 sluices (and a highbanker set-up), pans, and 2 metal detectors. But I don't know what to use in Bautista as I see it's a dry, desert like area and I don't own or have ever used a dry washer. I'm eager to learn during the 2 day event, but kind of prospectin...

Hi, I am pursuing a problem that my partners and I have encountered concerning access to our claim. First, is it legal to be denied access to a current, viable, legal claim with BLM by a private property owner From my understanding you can not be landlocked. This claim is in the Libby Montana area. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Don Vedder

OHIO gold 2914 1
Started by Usnavy7738@gmail.com
Found this in Richland County and am a bit curious. I am new to prospecting, past 6-8 months. Being in Ohio, obviously not much more then specs and flour gold. But this caught my eye. It was very dirty and there what looks like different types of metals possibly. It is not solid quartz as the photos may depict, more of a hard ' blue cheese' mineral. But under my kids microscope (don't judge) it certainly has a compelling argument I guess. Any help please
