incorrect coordinates and little data 65 0
Started by prospector217@gmail.com
comparing coordinates in 50th anniversary edition and GPAA web site (blue moon, smith placer claims) coordinates are close but not exact. The 2014 edition gives townships ranges and sections were the 50th edition and the web site only gives latitude and longitude and no information on driving directions. Also how do you know if a claim is still active with the GPAA and has not been taken back or has became a close claim.

How to find prospecting areas 166 1

So I know how to check Alaskan state/federal claims. Is it ok to just look up claimed areas and prospect the unclaimed portions 100 meters up/down stream I am new to this and I don't know if there are prospecting etiquette rules. Being in Alaska, I don't want to get shot in the woods.

LDMA vs GMAA 297 5
Started by rickthomason@gmx.com
Hello Folks-I'm curious-I asked this of the HQ members, but no reply. That's ok, they're busy--but I'd like to know. What is the difference in the GMAA and the LDMA I see events that are attended by both groups. The LD costs $4800 and the GMAA costs $155 for 3 years. I don't understand the relationship. Are the claims the same What's the deal. Should I join the LDMA Are the claims in the Mining Guide the same for both groups Which is better Thanks in advance. Rick T

I am completely new to prospecting. As a matter of fact I have never been at all. I have joined this community to gain information to help me plan a trip to Idaho later this year.

Gold Prospectors 1, 2 & Warrior (San Diego, CA) 674 8
Started by zerdoff@gmail.com
I went to GOLD PROSPECTORS 1, 2 & WARRIOR twice for 3 hours and found only nails and bullets so far. So I got few questions to save some time in the future. - Does this area contain any metal detectable gold Does it worth trying there with metal detector - Are there any other trails besides the one which starts at the picnic area - Does anyone plan to go there soon I could use some company. FYI: I'm 33 and I'm new to gold prospecting.

Keene power sluice 172 2
Started by Cwarriorminename@hotmail.com
So I put together a 2” highbanker/ dredge combo using all Keene products. Keene A52 sluice box, hopper, dredge riffles, stand, Honda GXH50 motor with p90 pump on it. I am mainly going to use it as a dredge. My question is how much drop do I put on the box and how much flow should I have going through the box for the best recovery of gold I’d post a video of the set up running but I don’t see that option available here.

The catalog of information is about worthless as no new information has been published in what appears to be months to mostly years. I want to get started prospecting, but most of the information is out dated or non existent. Why is there so little information for new members As it stands for newbie on the east s...

Mining Guide vs. Land Matters 193 0

I am getting familiar with the GPAA Mining Guide and LandMatters.org. I noticed the Mining Guide maps (pg 131) for Gold Prospectors 1&2 and Warrior are 1/4 of the official registered claims area in LandMatters. Am I reading this correctly Is there a separate GPAA members area within the claims Thank you for the clarification. Mark Andrews
