Events scheduled to be provided
Kevin Hoagland
Special Guest Kevin Hoagland from the GPAA will work directly with you to help you with your equipment setup, locate your "Golden Spot", make sure everything is operating efficiently and tuned to the desert environment.
Garrett Field Demonstrations
Steve Moore and Bob Richardson from Garrett Mining will conduct Field Mining Demonstrations with the Axiom and Goldmaster 24k detectors.
Users can come and go during that period. Several gold targets will be planted so you can understand the tones and operation. Basic instructions on how to use these detectors will be offered, and then you go “hands on” to learn how to scan the test targets.
When the Garrett session is not in process, Garrett is offering a chance to test drive one of their detectors. Go find open land and detect away. Bring back what you find and enter it into the best find contest.
Kevin Bell
We really hate black sand at Placer Pete's. We do have a lot of it on the claim. It's annoying to remove our gold from this stuff. Kevin Bell (GPAA State Director) has your answer. He will be offering his course on fine gold recovery. This is one you don't want to miss if you are interested in recovering more gold!
Allan Guthmiller
Special guest and inventor Allan Guthmiller with the Gold Rattler will be there to demonstrate his desert wash plant.
We will be conducting a special Pete and Gold Rattler challenge on Saturday. Come and help us process 1 yard of Pete's material through the Gold Rattler and then process the header and tailings pile to see what we may have missed!
