Nancy's Gold 13836 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 8014 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

Arkansas River Snow Melt/Flooding Pics -- 31 May 14 9010 2
Started by randywitham@centurylink.net
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 8009 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...

That event has been moved to Alabama Gold Camp, in Cragford, AL, June 6-8th.&...

latest trip to Ala Gold Camp 9186 4
Started by nodnorthewise@gmail.com
Hey all, Went to Ala Gold Camp again this weekend, 5/3-5/4. Here's some pics of the pile after we were working it (forgot to get a before pic,sorry), we moved about 1/2 the pile. Figured it to be about 3.5 yrds we moved. Ran about 7 hrs total, 4 on Sat, then 3 on sunday. Pics of the gold from AGC and my unit (set up at the Buchanan Claim) also follow.
This is quickly becoming a favorite place to go for me. I know it's not a GPAA/LDMA site, and it d...

Gold from Ala Gold Camp 10020 2
Started by nodnorthewise@gmail.com
Hey all, Took a trip to Alabama Gold Camp couple of weeks ago to test my hand built highbankerw/gold hog mats based on the Gold Hog Viper unit. Ran it on Sat. for about 3 1/2 hrs, put about 2 yrds material from the piles through it, split the cons with another couple that helped shovel with us. Figured out near end of the day I was running too hot, some of the mats weren't holding heavies. Slowed it down on Sun. ran 1/2 the material and 1/2 the tim...

gold is where you find it. 7705 1
Started by jinco12@gmail.com
I have been working in the rock crushing industry for some time now, and find myself always looking at a lot of rocks. Every time we set up in a new location i can't help myself but to take a sample pan from the fines that come off the plant. Most of the time i come up with an empty pan since gold is not very abundant in my area, but it never stops me from looking. My company purchased a used crusher plant from out of state, and brought it to the shop where i had the task of cleaning and repairi...
