Started by rshafersr@gmail.com
Great supplement. Hopeful the LR2000 replacement article has more information coming in the next update regarding the 'help' not found in the MLRS software by me. Is it possible to get a better source for items like 'how to search by GPS coordinates' I have no idea where that info might be on the GOV site.

GPS coordinates for GPAA claim corners online? where? 1944 1
Started by stcroix_man2002@yahoo.com
Heya Kevin.. Prospector Dean here from MN. As I have time I am adding the GPS coordinates for the GPAA claim corners into Google Earth as an overlay, in the areas where I prospect. You recently had an article on this. The GPAA book has the claim corners for each claim, but I don't see them here online in the individual property descriptions, only the ingress and center of claim coordinates. Am I missing something, or are the corners purposely left out here in the properties section Also ...

Ingress/Gates/Signage 1944 2
Started by human@sonic.net
Kevin, et al New member here, liking the community already and to that point wanting to make an observation. After spending half a day reading property reviews, I was aware that there's not enough photo documentation to the actual trouble spots of the roads. Gates were another topic along with signage. I know signs can attract as many people as they repel and gates are revenue intensive. The point being, I would like to volunteer some of my time along with what little ability I may hav...

Why is there no claims for the state of Tennessee Tennessee has ample gold and old hold mines! Why has no one found a gold claim/lease on this state There used to be several good gpaa leases in Tennessee.

Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
I was intrigued by the article you wrote about setting the sensitivity on the GB2, I'm a big fan of the GB2 and plan on trying it in a few weeks. But have a couple of questions. I like using the Audio Boost when I can or would that effect the sensitivity to much I also run my volume at max and adjust my volume on my headphones, maybe I misunderstood your instructions, do you set and leave your volume at 7 I also try and run in low mineralization but usually end up in the normal settings and m...

General area maps 1623 5
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
This from a thread elsewhere here. A suggestion of a national map giving a general location of claims and areas. Or even state by state would be a great addition. Could be linked to the state pages in the property page in the on-line guide, or a section in the members only page area. Would help members when planning a trip, as to what's in the area they're headed to, instead of sifting through the guide, be it on-line or hard copy.

Three Fault 1878 5
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
Weather permitting, the first week of January I'm going to give the Three Fault claim a good working over. I'll be using a Goldbug 2, 6.5' coil, I'm going to be camping on the claim and spend four days there. I've read all the reports posted and just wanted to know if you or anyone had any more information to add. I can use my 10'coil if needed to get a little bit more depth but I'm hoping there is the real small gold there too that the Goldbug with the 6.5' coil can find. Looking at google maps...
