Stay limits on claims 2304 3
Started by iancoyle2002@yahoo.com
I was curious about how long can a prospector stay on a club claim in Forest service lands. My son and I usually stay a whole summer dredging on claims we have permission to dredge on. I just recently joined GPAA, monthly for now, because we saw some interesting areas where the clubs claim is on the Middle fork Boise river here in Idaho. We usually work upstream more on friends claims, but needed a change in scenery...too many dredges up in that area. I know if your working a claim, the stay...

Central Alaska claims group 1449 2
Started by goldprospector@msn.com
Kevin, & anyone else who may have info. I'm leaving the Wickenburg area early May and heading to Alaska for the summer for sightseeing and gold detecting. I'm a confident owner & user of a GPX 5000 and Gold Monster. Detecting is all I'll be doing and maybe some panning. I'm interested in info about detecting the Central claims, the public prospecting areas out of Fairbanks listed in the 50th anniversary mining guide and any other areas in Alaska. I'll be towing a 40' 5th wheel toy...

Dale Mining District Claiming 1312 1
Started by jerry.perez1969@gmail.com
Kevin, We took a trip out to the Dale Mining District and noticed so much potential in that area. There are some locations that have gold still but is BLM. Understandable BLM is accessible to the public sometimes but my question is why has GPAA not snatched up any claims in the Dale Mining District,what's the catch There are some claims in GPAA, where there very little gold and have to bust your back just to get some flour gold. Why not give up some of those little producing claims and go t...

Sampling in the Arizona Desert 1826 0
Started by stananvergie@aol.com
Basically how deep are you taking samples from. Just read 'Where's the gold' in March April Gold prospector mag. Think like you're looking at a sluice definitely got me rethinking things. I could definitely see it in that photo. Next years visit to Arizona will definitely will be a new start on my way of searching. Are you sampling the surface, or digging out a good deep shovel full. Changing from Stream tactics, to the Desert way of thinking is sure different. Hope to see you at the Gold show ...

Hello Kevin Was wondering if you have any news information on the LMRS. I have set up an account and am slowly learning how to use it. I am not that good with computers or any thing tech. We talked on the phone after you article in the claims update, and you were saying the BLM was not quite finished building the site. My next question is about GPS. I use a Garmin eTrex 10. There was an article in the May June 2021 issue but the GPS used was a lot more complicated than mine. If I am trying to ...

Kevin, In your opinion, which hand held gps unit is the easiest for tech impaired old guys to use and also is fairly inexpensive. Just wanted to add I enjoyed your seminar on metal detectors at the last Colorado Gold Show. Looking forward to the next. Thanks, Dave

Hello, I am just curious if you could give me any pointers for the land on the Gorbert Association claims, east of Quartzsite, Arizona. I've been poking around there for a bit now but I can't seem to sniff it out. I'm familiar with geology and such, pretty handy with reading the land, this one has me stumped though.

Up to date claims map maricopa county 2515 6
Started by Jmartin@harborcoastplumbing.com
Hi , I have contacted the BLM Phoenix and hassyaneda office but no luck. I am looking for up to date maps showing active claims. I am probably dreaming but would like to see if there is any ground available in the San Domingo wash area other than the the gpaa claim. Also I have scoured the area and some of the claims are marked shotty at best with Downed markers probably from our monsoon season. It would be nice to have a larger map showing active 2021 claims in the maricopa county Az area as to...

Today I went to the Migg1-4 near Rochford SD. I couldn't even pull in to the parking area. there were out of state 6 big (I mean big) 5th wheelers trucks taking up the the area. All out of state and not GPAA. Now as far I know National forest rules allow camping for a few days on public which technically this is. The gentleman I spoke with stated a GPAA member told them they couldn't camp there due to it being a claim. I myself lean toward the national forest rules. Anyway just asking on...

Hello Kevin I decided to go check out Lucky Linda again claim today from the north entrance going past the so called chicken coop. I drove the half mile south and found that the gate Has been permanently removed and fence post and bobwire is in its place blocking access. This appears to have just been done in the last day or two evident of tire tracks and foot prints. Just wanted to give a heads up and something that you may be interested in investigating.
