New GPAA Member, My quick story 3769 3
Started by sjklesh@gmail.com
Hi I'm Shane -
I moved to the Denver area early last year and have been spending a lot of time on the rivers in and around the area looking for gold. I've had a bit luck every time, of course not enough gold to retire on - of course that's not really my goal..I just like getting out there away from the city.
I recently decided to start sharing some of my gold prospecting, metal detecting and experiment videos on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/kleshguitars . I decided t...

Learning to read the river 3462 2
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
Learning to read the river can be very frustrating for new prospectors but there is a simple trick that will help you get on the gold.
Take a metal detector and walk back and forth across the river, when you get a good hit stick some sort of marker on that site, and then follow that signal up and down the river because what you are looking for is a line of black sands, your gold will be in that line. A great deal of the time places I thought would be perfect I found nothing yet fr...

Southern California, need camping / prospecting recommendations! 2324 2
Started by Chadstreet1@gmail.com
I am looking for a location that myself, my wife and another couple could camp and do some light prospecting. Looking for somewhere within a few hours of LA. We are all experience backpackers and have a proper 4wd vehicle to get us out there. Ideally it would be fairly remote.
We have a sluice box, bucket, shovel, a few gold pans and a metal detector.
We do not need to have a fire, we have camp stoves and are fully self sufficient when it comes to food/water for consumption.

New Michigan Member looking for spots to pan. 22200 33
Started by kenredington@hotmail.com
Good day,
I am a new first time member and had a question. I live in SE Michigan and was wondering if there is anyplace to practice panning. I see reports saying there is placer gold all over the place and it has been found here in Oakland county (North of Detroit). Problem is I have also seen writing stating that the DNR seems to discourage panning with all sorts of rules. Being as I have no desire to break the law just where can we pan here
