Colorado, a bad year for prospecting 2284 4
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I am sorry I have not posted in a long time but I have kept in touch with a few members. I want to let you know the conditions of Colorado are not good at all for even rafters, they are dying weekly, and the main melt hasn't even really begun yet. I was at two claims that we would normally work this time of year just 4 weeks ago and the water was so high, fast, and full of debris it was impossible to even approach. Three weeks ago I was in Telluride and saw that the head of the San Miguel Ri...

UPDATE from Colorado 2338 2
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I am sorry to say that the full melt is now on and the rivers are worse then I last reported, entire islands are gone, huge banks washed out, and giant boulders moved down stream. Even the 'Telluride Watch' news letter is warning people to stay out of the river unless you are a extreme expert rafter because the entire river has changed shape and there is a great deal of debris moving in the fast and high water. One of my fellow claim owners is heading down to a area that is usually very low ...

Checked this out on the site as well as Pick& shovel, I would really like to take a trip there but not much if anything on directions plus it said Hood, TX. Don't know if it is a county or town, it comes up county on google. Be nice to know it's the location. Thank you, Rick,

Colorado Update, now is the time to start planning a trip 1656 2
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I was in Telluride 'To Hell You Ride' last weekend, the head of the San Miguel River was still hanging with ice, but the water has slowed and cleared. I am going to be taking a member to some of our claims, and my personal claim, plus recreational rich claims. Our window this year is from now to about the second to third week of September. Be safe, the water is still fast and snow is already falling at high elevation. Bring your wet gear, cold weather gear, warm weather gear, mosquito repelle...

Claims Guide vs Website Coordinates 3504 13
Started by theasthmatics@aol.com
On the site, it gives totally different GPS coordinates for the ingress/center mark than what is in the mining guide (2018) for the Crimson Dove claims in Utah. The website coordinates (which, unless I'm mistaken, only give the ingress and center -- no corners) put the claim in the Fishlake National Forrest, close to the Fremont Indian State Park, right in Mill Creek The guide coordinates put it about 20 miles southeast in the middle of a swath of desert. Which is correct I've got a c...

Dredging In Idaho 1545 1
Started by larryrix69@gmail.com
Hey Guys New Lifetime member here, I have recently joined the GPAA as a lifetime member and I am looking for a claim that has good water access for a 4' floating suction dredge. I am from northern Utah and its looks like Idaho is going to be my best bet for dredging. I am open to any suggestions or advice you may have to offer as to a good GPAA location that can accommodate this type of prospecting.. I look forward to hearing from you guys and perhaps meeting some of you in the local area soon...

New Equipment 2150 2
Started by anthony.ingersoll2@outlook.com
Good evening, I just got a new piece of equipment delivered today via Amazon. I kicked the bucket so to speak on this piece of equipment. I caved in and got the Gold Rush Nugget Bucket. The bucket is not all that bad, to be honest. Albeit being a new invention there are areas of improvement. The Gold Pan its self is eh so so. But then again I have my personal preference on the type of pan. One of the major benefits though is the fact that everything you need is contained within the bucket...
