metal detectors 6484 14
Started by Sergio Ramirez
Hi Kevin, or anyone that knows about metal detectors, was thinking of getting one, but which, there are so many types. I just started crevicing past months and been doing good with what I have, using my probe & what I learned from Gary'two-toes', figuring which crevice to work. Thinking a metal detector would help to work the bedrock crevices & gravel beds, any suggestions as to which I should probably get, budget around $1,500.oo or so, would spend more if worth it. Is the one they give away...

Three Fault Claim - Maricopa Co AZ 1545 0
Started by jlcurtz@aol.com
I liked the Three Fault Claim, but never found any gold there. There were several write ups about this claim, first it was shown as Three Fault, then 3 Fault 1 & 2. Now it seems it's no longer an active GPAA claim. Is it gone for good John Curtis 2935546

Dumb Luck 3608 1
Started by frgeon@yahoo.com
Kevin/Gpaa, There seems to be some discrepancy on the location of this claim in Maricopa County Az. There are multiple locations listed in the 'Getting there' comments for the online guide. There is also no sinage/corner markers for either location in the ground. Can you verify the actual plot this claim is on Thank you in advance! Jon

A Compliment to Kevin 2197 2
Started by jo.don2@verizon.net
Kevin, today I received the new magazine Nov/Dec 22. when I opened it I always look for your WTG (where's the gold) article. That is my favorite bar none. I read it and looked it over closely and I just have to say...'GREAT INFORMATION' you obviously spent more time on this with the green and white areas and your break down is eye opening. Man you just nail it each time on WTG but I got a lot out of this and just wanted to say thank you. Good stuff. then I turned the pages and I read your A...

New Garret Axiom Ultra PI detector shake down 2305 3
Started by tgwdh@yahoo.com
Kevin, As the subject matter expert that some of us turn to for the occasional shake down of detectors, have you penciled in a test for the new Garret Axiom PI detector We would like to see how this performs and possibly how it stacks up against the GPX6000 and GPZ7000. I can see already that it is $2k less than the GPX6000 and I heard that in their design phase they were putting more emphasis on a better discrimination system that would ignore hot rocks better than the Minelabs. Thank yo...

Central Alaska Claim Mapping Issue 2222 3
Started by benbelfiglio@yahoo.com
I went through and mapped the north section of the claims coordinate by coordinate but for some reason the claim coordinates and claim boundaries in the GPAA Mining Guide do not match the current claims. If we could get an actual list of individual claims the property encompasses it would make mapping a lot easier, Alaska has pretty good online tools where claims are already mapped out for you, you just need the claim number. The OMRC Serial number listed does not match to any BLM or State clai...

I love that method of using excel and then doing a project in GE online, the 3D really makes a difference! I think you should post and pin the link for the youtube video on how to do it, bet others will love it as well... Maybe in claims area or something. Anyway, thank you so very much for that, excellent. Jim

Highbanking on Arizona claims 1954 4
Started by 1agentcue@gmail.com
Arizona being my home state and a new LDMA member I'm curious as to any local claims in the state that are good for high banking I'm going purchase one anyway as we travel every summer to get out of the Phoenix heat and plan on hitting other states that I'm sure would get some use with. Figured Kevin may know as I believe it is his home state also. ;) Any input from anyone is greatly appreciated. Regards Dave

RxR Act 1767 1
Started by JIM BROTHERS
I have come across a couple pieces of property by a river that is unclaimed (On the BLM MLRS) and when I look it up on the MTP (additional Documents), it references an ancient (old) transportation act for the railroad. There is no tracks anyplace..... My question is, does this mean the property is withdrawn from being claimed and the railroad owns it Or did it revert back to the NFS How can I check Jim

How long can you stay on a claim 9481 6
Started by martinamerica@yahoo.com
A member on FB recently asked if he could camp on a claim. I said of course. Then the discussion went to for how long. Please add this in your FAQ section. Some say it’s 2 weeks on BLM and FS land. Some say it’s indefinite on a claim. some say it's 6 months. What is it I can’t find anything on the GPAA website about this. The search function does not work. Thank you. Martin Wormser
