The Elusive 'Kevin' Claim 10485 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....

Did I wander off of our claim? Lost Dredge 11095 4
Started by alienamerican@gmail.com
http://youtu.be/QRpHaDNCqTo
I would think that if there was an actual gold mine on a claim, more people would have talked about it.
Did we wander off of the Lost Dredge claim
We found the actual mine that fed the old trommel that I shared in the last video. Does anyone know if this mine is actaully on our Lost Dredge claim or did we wander off too far
We did not prospect here because we weren't not sure if it belonged to someone else, but if it i...

Just to a little FYI to our visitors. We have a abundant of wildlife here but all the people I've met in the last few years didn't know that we do have Mountain Lions here in the Black Hills.. They normally stay out sight and try to avoid people. Just be aware of your surroundings

Beginning building my gold cleanup room 9060 4
Started by matt@rtmdesigns.com
I didn't really get to get out this weekend so I thought I would focus attention on things needing done around the house. I really needed to get my clean-up station out of the living room...
I spent the last couple days getting this room completely cleaned out and now rebuilding it today to be my cleanup room. I have an Angus MacKirk Predator 3 in the blue tub that I still have to frame up with pvc above the tub and some shelves to put up as well.

Nancy's Gold 12790 14
Started by MICHAEL BUCKMAN
Ok people. I just went on a 4 day trip to the 'Nancy's Gold' claim in Placer county. This claim is spectacular and screams of nuggets!.
There is exposed bedrock, boulders galore and high above the north edge of the claim there is another claim with an ancient riverbed
of virgin ground. I saw this bench just as we were about to leave the claim after the four days. We inspected the bench and the material
was highly compact, bright orange and this particular part of the bench had a clear...

A couple Az. nuggets 7275 5
Started by dnotson@hotmail.com
Just thought I'd post a couple pics of recent nuggets found by myself here in central Az. while out metal detecting. Not going to reflect the whole story this late at night but I will say they were both found with a Minelab SD2100-V2. The largest 10.9 gram beauty with a 8'' mono coil, and the smaller 2.1 gram corn flake nugget with a 9''x14'' NF elliptical mono.
Now let me see if I can get the pics to post. Dennis

Hey GPAA Gold Prospectors...
Well, finally snow melt is in full swing here in 'High' Colorado... We had a HUGE snow pack this winter....about 135 to 160 of average annual snowfall here in the upper Arkansas River valley when all was said and done. This winter was one of the worst in the last 6 to 8 years here, based on an early start to freezing, all the snowfall, the subzero temps we had and such...
Now, we're getting a real good melt up in the higher elevations from all the 13e...

1ST GPAA Claim Prospectt 7186 2
Started by msteele93210@sbcglobal.net
Yesterday I took my son to the Just for Fun claim near Twaine Harte. When we got there, I walked up the creek from where we parked to get an idea of where to start. The creek was different than what I was used to. As I looked around, I could see layers on the banks as well as in the creek itself where others had worked. So I picked a spot and dug a sample pan from the material on the bank. I panned it out, skunk. So I dug a little deeper for another pan, skun...
