Brand New Member here. I live in KY and trying to plan our family's first claim outing. Its probably to big a piece to bite off and chew for the first time but, I'm chomping on the bit to just to get out there, prospect and find gold on my own without paying for it in pay dirt's. 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. The goal for our first year is to take a week (al...

https://youtu.be/DUBy1-CFycU Me and Gary TwoToes head to the hills in his Jeep Rubicon to search for Gold Nuggets along the Yuba River.

Stamp mill fines 2857 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.

Angeles National Forest 19142 20
Started by jsohlberg@att.net
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prospecting, and mining, including panning, sluicing, and dredging) under the 1872 Mining Law are prohibited within withdrawn areas of the Angeles National Forest.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...

First Riffle Clogs on Sluice 3518 2
Started by gpsuser2018@gmail.com
I recently got a sluice box; it is my first time using one. For reference, I am using the Royal Manufacturing 30-inch compact sluice and classifying it down to 1/4 an inch. For some reason, the first riffle of my sluice box keeps clogging up while the rest of the riffles perform and act exactly as they should. When I was running it the other day I figured the other riffles would catch the gold even though the first riffle was clogged (they did) so I didn't mess around with it. But I would like t...
