South Dakota GPAA Gold Claims 929 2
Started by blarran@yahoo.com
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 part...

rye patch 3731 29
Started by ravecolo@yahoo.com
My son and I are going out to Rye Patch in a couple of months. My question is this. Can someone tell me basically how far west of the reservoir we need to drive or hike to get to an area where we would have a fair chance of finding a couple of small nuggets. We have two machines a Fisher gold bug 2 and a MineLab Equinox 800 so they will find really small pieces but I would love a little direction please. Thanks, Ron

Claim map 10106 21
Started by richard93yj@gmail.com
Ok so I just joined and was wondering if there is an online user friendly map of all the claims. I see you can search an area online and get claims, but you have to go through every one to figure out where they are. Is there a spot on this site where the claims are mapped out with names so it's easier to search. I plan to spend the next month or two driving from Mammoth Lakes Ca. To Tucson and hitting our claims and doing other prospecting along the way, so just would like a nice user friendl...

Hello everybody, Me and my girlfriend are from the Netherlands and going to make a trip of 5 weeks from 24th of july till 28th of august. One of the things i would like to do is a day of goldpanning. But we don't want to do this on a commercial site for tourists. Now maybe we could join some people or someone give us a tip for a nice spot, not too far from the road. We have this planned somewhere around Downieville on the 2nd of august Thanks for a reply
