N Au bie here. Looking forward to my membership. Might have to invest in a speed reading course to get through all the materials.

Got my starter kit and was surprised to see Malakoff Diggins, a State Park on the list of properties listed (online but not in the printed guide) as a claim. I searched the forums using "Malakoff" as my search term but found nothing so: How is that possible? Do GPAA members have some exclusive rights that differ from the general public? Can you prospect using more the a hand and a pan (the normal limitations on state properties)? Didn't see any do's/don't's in prospecting section online either.

Any direction here would be helpful as it shows as my nearest property. (There are closer properties in the guide but a forum topic i read suggested if it is not online , the claim has been released. True?) I was hoping membership would answer questions. Seems it creating more.

Thank you for your time and the GPAA
