I'm new to the GPAA family, and also new to prospecting in the San Diego area. I have a M/D, and a lot of "wet" prospecting gear. I have done quite a bit of prospecting up in the Sierras, dredging, sluicing, etc., but new to metal detecting. I have looked at the claims in the book I received, but would love some real world advice on where to go. I am retired, so have the time, I have a newer f-150, but no 4-WD. I don't mind traveling a bit, so anything in the southwest would be an option. I would very much appreciate any information on GPAA claims, and open land areas to get started. I know I have a learning curve ahead of me, but I am dedicated to a winter prospecting pastime to fill the days until the Sierras are accessible next summer. Thanks in advance for any help, advice anyone may offer! John
