Pick and Shovel? Online Mags? Website Issues? 1997 2
Started by joe.jem1098@gmail.com
Signed up, paid for GPAA membership and hit the website to learn. I can access some of the Gold Prospectors Magazines, some issues it tells me my login in is incorrect. Are those special Top Secret issues I can't access any of the Pick and Shovel that I've tried - none of them accept my password. Is that an additional subscription fee, do I need a secret handshake I click on a link (while logged in) that tells me to report issues or bugs and I get this: You do not have access to vie...

Silicone Mat for Blue Bowl 2882 2
Started by cmckeever@comcast.net
Hi, I saw a video on YouTube by Alan Robertson about how gold seems to stick to a silicone mat. He made one and put it into a Blue Bowl and it seemed to work well. I believe he was using gold from Flower Gold Wizard. Has anybody tried this, and does it work If it does work, can one buy these mats (I am not handy at making things.) I'm interested in beach gold.

GPAA membership and Lost Dutchmans membership 4319 5
Started by ricksmail@gmx.com
Hello All I joined GPAA prior to the plague, so therefore I have yet to venture out. But I'm getting ready. But I keep reading about the LMDA and its 'camps', locations, etc. I have left messages with the membership folks what's the difference(other than the price) but I guess they are locked down- 1) Can GPAA members use the LDMA camps 2) What do LDMA members get that GPAA don't 3) Does LDMA have different claims from the GPAA I could swing the Lost Dutch fees, but I have been unabl...

Information on Triple D and M claim 3930 4
Started by gabrielmcguffey@gmail.com
Hello, I was wondering if anybody from the staff has any information on the Triple D and M claim in Ventura County, CA on Piru Creek. It is the closest claim to my house and there is no information under the directions or prospecting tabs in the claim directory. I haven't received my member package in the mail yet but was hoping to read something on the claim in the meantime.

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 2882 5
Started by ricksmail@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

Started by bhoward34@yahoo.com
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. I guess my biggest questions are: 1.) Are there prospectors out in Northern Idaho that take on Greenhorns for prospecting trips aside from the group trips that I see on the site 2.) If so what are the costs involved to the guide 3.) Are there places to rent equipment out there since I live in NY and cant prospec...

Gold Prospectors 1, 2 & Warrior (San Diego, CA) 3042 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.
