Mat-Su Valley Alaska prospecting 16409 3
Started by dkehler@yahoo.com
I'm relatively new to the gold prospecting but have a pretty good grasp on technique. It helps I grew up in a rock hound family. I live just below Hatcher's Pass in Wasilla Alaska. I have tinkered up on the Little Sue but have not had much success. Only a frog fart of fairy dust. Any suggestions to areas up there would be appreciated. More to my reason for this post. I have been looking at claim maps and other information regarding the Knik Glacier valley. Friday Creek in particular. I see two c...

Property Access 825 4
Started by perry.neal@outlook.com
Greenhorn here... I've noticed on the properties pages other GPAA members giving tips to remember to bring your membership card and permit. Great tip, however how do I obtain obtain or show a property owner that I am a member and how do I obtain a permit. I understand these may seem to be simple and fundamental to experienced GPAA members but to be honest... I cannot find this information anywhere on the site and do not want to drive from Virginia to Ohio only to be turned away.... Thank you ...

No Properties in Virginia 1497 11
Started by dogmom@k9dejavu.com
I just joined and was shocked that there are no properties in Virginia to explore. Where I live near Goldvein Virginia there are a lot of old gold mines in the area. I expected there would be some sites within the state. I also would like to find a person to go out with. If you live in Virginia and need a prospecting buddy contact me. I have found few areas that are public land near old gold mines, I used a metal detector around one today but the metal trash was impossible to work around. I wil...

South Dakota GPAA Gold Claims 413 1
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...

Online Mining Guide 751 6
Started by taylorconley90@gmail.com
Hello all. I am just getting back into prospecting after many years. Last time I was a GPAA member there was only the annual membership where I received the paper mining guide. This time I opted for the monthly which only gives me access to the online claim guide on which I only see center of claim and ingress points. Is there a way to find out the coordinates of the corner markers of the claims I would like to avoid accidentally claim jumping.

Hello all! Jimmy here and I'm a brandnew, know nothing prospector that's looking to learn. I attended the GPAA Expo at the Puyallup Fairgrounds last weekend and received a great tutorial from Rick on panning and I'm hoping to learn about a few other things. First: Do you need to have a gold claim on your own property or property owned by family (that you have permission to use) From what I saw researching online, I shouldn't need one, but again, I don't know much and may have misread. ...

Hi Y'all, It's been awhile since I've posted. I'm finally in a good spot in Oregon to do some real Placer mining. I'm also job hunting and have a heavy science background with experience in qualitative and quantitative analysis. Does anyone know an efficient way to tap into the Mining Lab field I'm having problems finding the right search terms to find jobs like that. Any tips/referrals would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Mary
