Coarse gold found 5313 1
Started by bward916@gmail.com
While prospecting in a particular location near a steep stream, I pulled some loose material material from underneath some tree roots.
There wasn't any black sand in my pan, but lots of quarts and even some clear quartz crystals.
Most rocks
I've only ever found placer gold ... so this was a bit of a surprise to me.
What does this mean Does it mean that there is a vein nearby Should I pull out my metal detector or pan some more
The piece of gold that I found was very small - ...

Greenhorn with question about Western Kansas 4809 3
Started by marchuebner2000@yahoo.com
Hi I am about as green as it gets. Has anyone tried western Kansas streams and creeks I am just assuming some of the water coming from Colorado and Wyoming would push some flower gold this way. From what I have been researching most of the land is privately owned but there has places that are not and can be checked. Just not wanting to drive 12 hours or 14 hours to Colorado to go prospecting.

New Oregon member 4571 3
Started by Rawdoggoffroad1@aol.com
Hi all new member here, I am planning a trip over to sumpter and would like to run the new high banker I'm building at the burnt river claims, but I can't find out what I can or can't do. Do I need some kind of permit and if so how do I get one. I emailed the caretakers but have not herd back yet. Also if anyone owns a superhog high banker I have some question about dimensions on the header box. Thanks for reading and any info. I would appreciate. Matt

Fine gold 12181 32
Started by skyable80@gmail.com
We went to the Arkansas river in Colorado in June & there was a lot of what the locals were calling flood gold The problem is that most of it is so small ~ 100 mesh or less ~ we are having a very difficult time recovering it from the cons we brought home. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks, Kevin

Coordinate Converter Apps 8809 10

Hello everyone, I am a new member to GPAA and anxious to get down to Arizona this winter and work some of the claims. So I have been spending a lot of time looking over different maps and satellite views to try to pick out areas that look like places I would like to try and mark them. My problem was every map resource I looked at used a different GPS format. That added a lot of extra work and brain drain going from one format to another. Then I thought they should have an app to convert the d...

Fine Gold Processing 2987 0
Started by kevin@gillas.com
Do you have an recommendations for spiral separators that is designed for gold and black sand mix The blue bowl looks too temperamental.
I was going back through my black sand that I panned and finding as much gold as I got when I panned it. The miller table is just going too slow for the amount of black sand that I have to process. I'm assuming from what I read this is the best way to process the material unless I want to go to a shaker table

If you are a diabetic I cannot stress enough how important it is that you care for your feet. Recently my mining partner forgot his water boots and just used his regular shoes and continued to wear them, needless to say he developed Trench Foot or Jungle Rot, us Veterans know what that means. So when he first showed it to me I was in shock of how bad it was and spent over an hour pulling out sock debris, gravel, dirt, etc.... I got it cleaned and soaked it in betadine and started checkin...

Hey guys,
I am new to GPAA and new to prospecting. 3 Years ago a couple friends of mine and I went to Red River. We had a guide by the name of Jerry that took us to a spot and I was able to pan, while they dredged. I got to pan and found some flour gold on my first try. It was great. I enjoyed the panning while they dredged. I have been to one GPAA Gold Show since and I have been hooked to panning since. I moved farther away from any Gold Claims a...
