First trip to Italian Bar - What should I bring? 6412 7
Started by dan@casaguzman.com
Hey all,
My name is Dan. I've been in the GPAA for a few years, but I am a new member to LDMA. I'm taking my mom with me this week to Italian bar from Los Angeles. We're renting an RV and driving up on Wednesday.
For us 'green horns' can any of you 'old timers' suggest items we should bring that only years of experience can give My mom is a little worried that we won't have some essential items () once we get there.
Thanks for the help,
Dan Guzman

Highbanker question - shut down or not? 6406 5
Started by graminella
Hi:
I just finished my new highbanker and did my first test run. See it run at https://www.youtube.com/watchv=n9vMd3IXsu8
If I needed to take 15-20 minutes to gather more material, is it better to shut down or let it run. My concern is that the surge of shutting down would blow out material. On the other hand if I run for a long period without feeding, do I risk losing gold I am using deep V matting on the top 2/3 and vortex on the lower 1/3. Third option i...

Video Uploads and Online Publications 1992 1
Started by Radicat
I just read an issue of Gold Prospectors magazine using the new Online Publications feature. When I got used to the way to navigate and size the pages, I soon got the hang of it. I like it a lot. I do receive the magazine and will continue to do so for when I might want to review an article in the field where I might not have access to the internet. But, using the new feature was nice too. I highly recommend it. The opportunity to post video files is going to be interesting. I look forward ...

Drywasher Leaf Blower Motor Settings... 4730 4
Started by cchipster
Bought a new blower today from Lowe's. It's a Paulson 200mph Leaf blower. I do not believe it has a way to set the throttle to a steady setting while shoveling in the dirt. Does anybody have experience with this and some advice for a rookie
Thank you!

I'm a very new GPAA member living in south Alabama and I've never found a speck of gold. I'm biting at the bit to take a trip to the mountain area around GA, SC and NC - about 6 to 12 hours away. I went once years ago (armed with a toy gold pan) and spent the whole day just trying to find a spot. I felt like a dog sniffing over hours for the perfect spot to do its business.

After watching Tom Massie for a very long time on the Outdoor Channel, and wanting to join this grand organization I was able to do so this year. As I said I have been a fan of the Gold Fever show for a long time, but never really could afford to join the GPAA until this year. Things have changed a bit for me over the years.

Need help with battery selection 4187 3
Started by graminella
Hello:
I am building a sluice that will be fed with a Johnson 2200 GPH 12 V pump; it draws 7.5 amps. Does anyone know reasonably priced deep cycle (or regular) battery that will run this pump for 6 hours or so. Realistically, I will run the slice 6-8 times a year. So, I don't know if I really need a deep cycle battery for this number of recharges per year. Maybe I do Thanks ahead.

Spriggs Property Ohio - any tips 4215 1
Started by graminella
Hello:
I am planning my first visit to a GPAA site - the Spriggs property near Lucasville, OH. I will only have about 6 hours at the site. Anyone been there who can give some advice on a work plan. I have a small sluice. Since it is on a large river I am concerned if there is enough flow and drop--otherwise, shovel and pan. Any tips on good spots that might lead me to my first nice flake or nugget would be appreciated. Thanks
