I need a small fireplace shovel 4600 2
Started by graminella
Several weeks ago (before joining) I ran into a couple of members of the southern Indiana GPA at Morgan/Monroe State Forest where large shovels are not permitted. Had a nice conversation but I forgot to write down their names (I have trouble remembering names). Anyway, one of them showed me a small, flat bottomed fireplace shovel that I just have to have. Lowe's has a cheap fireplace shovel that a five year old could bend in half. I have looked all over the internet, but ...

OK NEWBE WITH THE NEW GPAA SITE 4101 13
Started by TheHarleyMan2
I know people make changes and that is their right to do so, so with that said we have to accept what changes we have to accept. But can someone explain to me how I can post pictures for my avitar as I can not find any way to upload photos in my profile settings.
I don't know, maybe when they made the changes they left out the photo upload button

Confused: Need Info 5056 5
Started by msteele93210@sbcglobal.net
I'm not a dredger myself, but ive been trying to follow the case of the fresno couple who got detained for dredging their claim. I can't seem to keep up with the regs but from what I understand, dredging is illegal in Ca. Other sites are up in arms about their detainment. So help me understand, if they were dredging on a stream, creek, etc. in CA, weren't they breaking the law I keep reading the words Federal Claim.

I've dredged sand and pea gravel for road construction and have ran into black sand 'rivers' a few times over the years. The 'rivers' have always been between 5-10 ft from the surface after removing the overburden. I've worked 9 to15' dredges and left 5 to 10ft sheer face walls where Black Sand deposits can be viewed vertically. We always pumped the material because we could not determine how far the 'Black Sand...
