										So I look through the guide and find a claim I wanna go to, I pull up my topo maps and map out my plan, I Google map the location just out of curiosity and find that they've built a house at the corner of the claim, they're literally building homes on our gold, the house is on the NW corner of the Calamity 8 claim near Rock Springs AZ, anyone else running in to this |  |

Hi, new member here. I'm in the sw corner of Virginia and am looking for places to pan. The properties only show a couple places in NC that appear to be pay to play. Are there any members around who could get me started Thanks

										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.

										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 |  |  |  | 33 | 25113 |  by    Gary Spoonemore  14 Apr 2018 09:20 AM |

										Last fall I bought a miner's wheel. I have screened my sand down to 1/8' and run it several times, I still have rocks( not gold) in the cup and in the bottom of the wheel. I hate panning, kills my back and knees. I know there is plenty of Gold in the sand as have seen it. I've used twisters to get a couple of chunks that were just smaller than pickers out.

										Hello. we just moved to the area and got our first detector. (Minelab Xterra 705 Gold). We joined GPAA for the education in the hobby as well as access to the claims that GPAA has. I was wondering what to expect when we visit the claims that GPAA has as far as other people, and if the area is friendly.  We are looking out by Dolan Springs, AZ Specifically. 
Thanks and we are excited to get out and see what we can find! |  |  |  | 6 | 5720 |  by    A. BRENT HARSHBARGER  24 Mar 2018 03:01 PM |
