										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.

										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... |  |  |  | 13 | 3196 |  by    Stuart Brough  16 Aug 2019 10:08 AM |

										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... |  |  |  | 1 | 1387 |  by    Rich Nesbit  02 Aug 2019 03:53 PM |

										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... |  |  |  | 2 | 1971 |  by    Anthony Ingersoll  15 Jul 2019 08:22 PM |

I have been going through various youtube videos dealing with the blue bowl versus the miller table and the spiral wheel. However, the reviews seem like they are split down the middle 50/50. So my question is this; which one would you recommend and why Also, in regards to the videos; if you could post some links so I can check them out, ... |  |  |  | 2 | 1754 |  by    William Hall  11 Jul 2019 07:09 PM |
