Prospecting near Yellowstone park. 7187 13
Started by Kenaslan@earthlink.net
Last weekend I went up to Cooke City to do some prospecting. Went into town for lunch and was told it was made illegal to do any prospecting in the NF for several miles outside of Yellowstone park and couldn't go to the GPAA claim there. I have sence found out that the locals don't like protecting because of the government's allowance to that Canadian company to prospect there and will not tell the truth.
Nevertheless I will be there again Saturday. Has anyone prospect...

Started by swingnsway@aol.com
Does anyone have the corner coordinates for this group of claims Or at least the rivers upper and lower limits of the 3 claims. The online guide has the ingress and center coordinates but it doesn't make sense because the group is suppose to be 240 acres and the distance between the ingress and center is only 750ft. I'm new to this so could someone help me out if i'm missing something

I am a new member of GPAA and new to prospecting. It has been on my bucket list for a lot of years and I guess my wife decided it was time for me to actually do it.

My question for now is what size material (max screen) should you run through this RDH mini power sluice It is set up for recir...

Today is my first day going out to a gpaa claim. Looking forward to seeing what I find when I get there. I know there are not to many different claims here in the state of Texas that are close by for prospecting, so going to head out to the closest one to my home town of Dallas. If anyone has any tips I could use them. I know I am really going to enjoy getting out in nature.

gold bullion 3519 4
Started by ScottSn3@aol.com
Just wondering if you bought lets say a one ounce gold bar. It comes in it's own packaging .Would it lose value if you removed it from the packaging
I think if you remove the packaging from a uncirculated mint coin it would lose some of it's value. Inquiring minds want to know.

Does size really matter? 1672 2
Started by JTaylor@HL.com
Hey All,
Have a Whites TDI and three different sized heads. Beyond the practical consideration of how big and does it fit in the nooks and crannies, can someone please direct me to a site or YouTube videos that address how to select what size is best for what specific applications
Can give more specific details on what I have if helpful, but did not want to blather on unnecessarily.
Cheers!!

The man to my left is a close friend. We met getting water for our cisterns at the pump site. He had just retired from the Army after 33 years of service, two tours in Afghanistan, and one in Iraq. He like myself moved off the grid because a great deal of civilians are complete idiots and hard to be around, we both have our own form of PTSD but speaking the same language having both being Army we developed a bond.

I may be gone for a bit! 8157 10
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I took a hard fall backwards down a mountain and woke up in a pile of rocks trying to figure out how to get out, at the time I was inverted. In that incident I broke my elbow and left wrist but figured out how to get unpinned and get back up. I did not realize that I had been unconscious for some time. The next day coming up I got bit by a Rattlesnake and it should have killed me, but some how I survived and got to keep my leg without anti-venom.

What to do with all the lead? 9862 20
Started by JTaylor@HL.com
So, one thing I enjoy about panning is that, even when I do not find any shinies (which is the majority of the time), I am collecting a ton of lead (birdshot, bullets, and fishing weights) out of the creeks, rivers, and ground, which is good for the environment.
But, I now have a ton (figuratively) of the stuff and, if I just pitch it in the bin, isn't that the same thing as just putting it back in the river (more or less from an environmental standard)
When I flyfish, I keep my cut line and ...
