    I started panning about a year ago. I live in Minnesota. I joined GPAA so I could be able to pan for gold in Blackhills of South Dakota. The GPAA mining guide 2020 edition listed Eagle Eye #1 as being near Rapid City.


    When I drove to Eagle Eye, the posted signs said that the claim has reverted back to private land use and GPAA members are not allowed.


    I did go to Husker claim near Deadwood but noticed that the site wasn't well marked. I found only one gold claim marker but it was partially destroyed.


    Where to find out latest info? I noticed that Eagle Eye #1 doesn't appear in the Properties section. Are the latest updates on claim status (new or obsolete) posted somewhere?

    GPAA Members don't miss out on anything with the Eagle Eye being closed. I have been to that claim a couple of times and have not found anything but a couple of fly poop specks. The other claims are much better.
