Thinking about spending some time on Hopeless 1 in Broadwater Co. Montana this spring. I think someone said there is a seasonal pond. Wondering if anyone knows anything about it.

And now that I have access to claims, I rather take my chances finding it myself and in that pursuit hopefully learn some lessons from a experienced bunch of miners.

Stamp mill fines 7970 2
Started by rocdoc888colorado@gmail.com
I have some stamp mill fines from Blackhawk, Colorado. After screening them, I ran a few scoops with my gold pan. I'm seeing some very fine gold as well as some dark gray material (not black sands) which is heavier than the gold. I was thinking galena (lead ore), but although lead is heavier than gold on the periodic table, galena is less dense. Any idea what the dark gray material is and any suggestions on how to separate it from the gold Thanks for any information you provide.

The 2014 GPAA Guide (Lastest version, I believe) lists Angeles National Forest near Azusa California as Public Land on which prospectors can pan or sluice for gold. However, upon visiting the website for that national forest, I find this statement:
'All mining operations (location of mining claims, prospecting, and mining, including panning, sluicing, and dredging) under the 1872 Mining Law are prohibited within withdrawn areas of the Angeles National Forest. Public Law No. 57...
