Greetings to all,
I am going to the outing by myself at Stanton in April and looking for someone who would like to prospect together. I will be bringing my ATV to metal detect some of the local claims. Let me know if you're interested,
Dale

Hello Dale, I may be in if you don't mind a detector newb. Just finished a three day weekend crawling all over the Weaver Mining District, metal detecting, without luck. We did however find some pickers by drywashing a bank though we had to run the material three times due to the dampness. It would be nice to join a fellow detector who is familiar with the GPAA claim locations. Best, Lorenzo

Dale, I did not realize this was a registered event (newb error). I am still strongly considering signing up to get a chance to meet everyone and the opportunity to detect this otherwise unavailable claim. I will send you a note if I can attend.

Hi Dale, it looks like you have some detecting buddies lined up, but if you could use another one, I am looking for someone to team up with. I am 66 and don't like going in the desert alone, but I am used to it. I'm going for 5 days so I will arrive on Tues April 28. Last time I was in Stanton was about 10 years ago but I found a 2.5 oz nugget there. It is the photo I use on this site and gives you an idea of what can be found in that area. I am going to rejoin the Weaver group so I can go on their claims too. Sonia

I forgot to add that I saw a rattlesnake out last month, so if you have snake gaiters it might be a good idea to bring them. The snakes don't always rattle and with headphones on, I am listening for the beep and not a hiss.
