Southern California, need camping / prospecting recommendations! 2713 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. 24209 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

What's the possibility of having someone in the area go with us on our first outing to the mountains around Mesa in May This will be my FIRST time trying to find the yellow stuff and I'm still GREEN behind the ears. Hopefully, I will have the metal detector, topo maps of the area, and all the other stuff.

black sand away from Gold? 5883 9
Started by kenny.stites@gmail.com
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. I can't decide to just snif all the black sand and gold then heat the fry pan to get rid of the water, and run a magnet over it to remove the...

New Member in NW Arizona looking for advice 5471 6
Started by twistedwanderings@icloud.com
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!

Country Boy Mine 2381 2
Started by globalcommunity247@gmail.com
Why does the GPAA list the Country Boy Mine as one of it's claim It's messed up. This is an underground mine tour and is no way affiliated with the GPAA. This is a recipe for disappointment for anyone who goes to this claim. I ask GPAA to take it off the list.
