Basic to intermediate advice appreciated 8392 6
Started by Sethk57@yahoo.com
Hello, Im relatively new to prospecting and currently a resident of Pennsylvania. Soon I will be striking it out to the southwest to find some color. Any advice concerning gear, terrain, technique would be awesome. I will primarily be prospecting/panning in Arizona. Maybe Idaho, Utah and Colorado too. I'll be doing all of my panning in the field and also interested in metal detecting. I have a general metal detector and a fair amount of experience. I've studied my mining guide to some extent but...

US or State by State map 11534 7
Started by edmyall@yahoo.com
When I am looking for gpaa claims in my (or another) state it would be beneficial to me to be able to look at one map of the state and see where all of the claims are. It doesn't sound like it would be that hard, and it would make my life easier. Anybody else like the idea

New member question 1827 1
Started by jheard82@icloud.com
Hi, I am a new member anxiously looking forward to receiving my membership kit and getting involved. I’m new to prospecting other than running a few pans back in middle school. My family and I have been to a pay to play place here in GA and found some gold there. We were all excited at our first find. My son is looking forward to getting out into a creek again. I was curious if I had to wait to receive my kit before we visit a claim, or if having my membership number is enough

New Member Question 6635 13
Started by dlenfers@hotmail.com
Greetings.
I am trying to get as much information as I can collect on where to head off to when I start prospecting this spring. I am a older retired person, single and my family is raised and off doing their life. I am tired of sitting around the house growing older even faster and I always wanted to give more or less full time prospecting a go. I built a mini RV, one ton Van customized with its own sleeping, storage and chemical camping toilet. ...

Cabin Fever 2458 3
Started by aesplin1@gmail.com
New to the forum, but it's the time of year I started thinking about panning more and more so I thought would share some pics from my best day panning last year. I'm pretty new to prospecting so I joined GPAA up here in Fairbanks, AK last year, and I was hoping to make it to the claim up in Circle, AK last summer. That didn't happen so I just stuck to mining around Fairbanks and I had some pretty decent days with just my pan. These two pics were from my best single day. I...
