I’m also a new member and wondering that if you go to these GPAA sites do you have to get your own permits for whatever piece of equipment that you are using or they covered by whoever owns the claim Also do you have to pay anything to the owner of the claim I have a Sluice, and a Highbanker/Suction dredge I want to use.. thanks

New to Prospecting- Oregon 2198 9
Started by robertdmcgee@gmail.com
I have been going through the prospecting forums for claims in the State of Oregon. By what I have read, there aren't too many and finding very little color to make it worth while. My main concern is the accessibility of the GPAA claims in my State. 2WD vehicle as well, so that has to be taken into consideration as to where I can go. I have panned in SD in the area of Deadwood back in August, spoke to BLM there where I can pan and I had a lot of fun. 2.73g isn't too bad for a first timer. I...

Hello Everyone I am proudly a greenhorn. I am heading up to the Vulture Bait (AZ) claim this weekend on my first prospecting trip tomorrow.

Your Best Bet 2548 14
Started by GSHRUM101@YAHOO.COM
Good day all. Yes I am a greenhorn and not afraid to admit it. I have looked forward for a long time to put my first bit of dirt in a gold pan. I have been a member for many years and have never been prospecting one single time in my life. I believed in what the GPAA stood for and for what they were doing for their members. I have dreamed of going to the Alaska Gold Camp but I understand it is not operating any longer as a community camp. I just became a lifetime member and want to plan my first...

Started by a.good19@yahoo.com
Hey all, been pannin for the last year mostly in the Molalla river area which has been good to cut my teeth on , but I’d really like to branch out. I’d really like to check out the Quartzville area this weekend provided it has reopened since the fires Molalla River has limited access since. I’m not gonna lie, I am a little overwhelmed trying to learn the basics of being a Gpaa greenhorn, and have yet to hit a claim. If anyone out there is willing to learn an aspiring prospector I would truly be...

Who's ready to get out and find some treasure/gold 2109 8
Started by aztreasurehunter@outlook.com
If anyone is interested in meeting up to go do some treasure hunting or gold mining/panning please let me know. I am new to the hobby and enjoying every moment. That said i have my own equipment so I am ready to go. I prefer to prospect and explore with a group. It gets kind of sketchy being in the desert by yourself.
