Slo-Able 1 8178 2
Started by MICHAEL BUCKMAN
I just recently went to scout the one and only claim in San Luis Obisbo county. Its calle 'Slo-Able 1.'
I wanted to see how camping would be and if there was running water on the claim this time of year and to take a couple of test pans to see if there might be some decent gold to be found.
I made it to the Navajo Flat campground as it speaks about in the book, but then things got strange. The directions in the book said that the claim was 1/2 mile farther, but it wasn't clear if it was talki...

Flood Layers 6570 0
Started by eddy2u2@yahoo.com
I found this on a trip to Lake Mohave, AZ and thought it was interesting to see the flood layers. It was about 6-7 feet high and it had exposed bedrock in the bottom of the channel. I also got the metal detecting bug on this trip after using a Minelab Eureka, so I'm already looking to purchase one.

First time out with MXT 6156 0
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
We bought a MXT detector back in 2009, and I had maybe an hour on it in prospecting mode in eastern Oregon. Had not been used since. Dug it out last summer and got it cleaned up (batteries were still in it). Joined a local MD club last week and they had a hunt yesterday. Got some tips on setup from the club pres., and away I went. He checked on me after awhile and after about 3 hours I had to call it quits. Found two reproduction buttons from the civil war re-...

Round Rock TX Chapter group visits the AZ desert 12758 12
Started by ngarza78727@yahoo.com
I put together a group trip for our local GPAA chapter with a local gold guide to prospect and detect some claims around the Stanton/Rich Hill area of Arizona. A dozen of us from Texas caravanned to the town of Wickenburg where we stayed at the Best Western as well as other local hotels or campgrounds for a week of detecting/prospecting in the area of Rich Hill. We were armed with metal detectors aplenty as well as a few Gold Cubes and other mini-highbanker recirculators. The majority of folks b...

Quartzville, Oregon 7923 1
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
On the 13 of Sept. we had an impromptu outing on fairly short notice (sent it out on Tuesday and it was on Sunday. Had 14 people show up and poked around on the creek bottom that is usually under about 70 feet of water and has not seen the light of day for probably close to 50 years. Figured it would be pretty good with old material that has not been worked over for so long, even though nothing new would have gotten that far down in the normal slack water of the lake. Everyone ...

Quartzville Group-Oregon 3777 0
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
The Brownville Oregon chapter hit all 3 of the claims on Sunday, June 7th for a clean up and to re-sign them. One had signs on it for about 2/3rds of it, the other 2 were not signed at all and had not been for quite awhile. We had 12 members up there to take care of it, and also to do a clean up of the well used camp areas and fire rings. Got an awning frame work and about 4 bags of other trash from them, but is still early in the year. I did a little sampling on the west...

Nugget Trap 2 17121 12
Started by grumpsmcm@gmail.com
Went up to Nugget Trap 2 last week end to check it out. Nice area sadly has been burned by forest fire.
Looked for claim markers but their wasn't any to be found, was approached by someone who said we were on their clubs claim
but GPS said otherwise. I guess the importance of markers was revealed.

The Elusive 'Kevin' Claim 10451 6
Started by sillylittlehusband@msn.com
After a few couple of trips trying to get to this claim we finally made it. USFS signs are broken my cars GPS readings were off. We ran into a gate, closed for Mine Reclamation of the Jack Waite Mine Site. I checked my phone for a bearing with the compass app and found out that it had coordinates on it after we had left on Sunday and came back on Tuesday only to find out that we were on the claim 2 days before but didn't know it. About 1 1/4 mile hike to the claim from the gate....
