Hello everyone! My name is Noel and from Az. I have been a member since 1992, but really haven't taken advantage of the membership much. I like to keep my dues current because I believe in the right of prospecting and mining. I would have joined a local club years ago, but my work schedule got in the way. I do hope to get out more this year though! But any how, I thought I'd drop by and introduce myself. Happy Prospecting!

Sluice boxes 5515 4
Started by coloradophil
Hi all,
I am new to prospecting, I have panned in the past and used homemade sluice boxes with little success, but I think it is time to upgrade. I am looking into buying a sluice box and could use any help and or recommendations that you might have. I will primarily be using the sluice in and around Colorado. The two sluice boxes I have been looking into lately are the 36' prospector Bazooka gold trap and the Grizzly 3 sluice. I understand that the grizzly is operated on the bank not directly ...

Going to plan a week trip over to that area. There is a GPAA claim Carol Placer. Anyone ever work this ground and how did you do. Also wondering if I should be exploring other areas, there is so much BLM to cover around there. Will have 5th wheel and ATV, hopefully there is a good camping spot near the claim.

I'll be tent camping, driving a jeep and drywashing. I might borrow a buddy's Garrett detector. Anyways, from what I've read you're not allowed to camp in the Quartzsite deserts. Your supposed to stay on BLM campgrounds and pay. Add to which they offer zero provisions like water/showers/etc. Has anyone tent camped out there w/o issue I don't want to have to pack up and drive 10 miles to go to a campground every night. Maybe every few days I'll head into town for supplies and take a showe...

Hello All,
I'm headed down to Arizona (from Colorado) for my first attempt at desert gold prospecting. I am thinking of Gold Basin for dry washing (as well as some meteorite hunting) and was hoping to glean some tips as to what to look for in that area regarding the gold bearing gravels. I've been reading (and watching) whatever I can about it, and know that the gold is found in the gravels on top of the caliche false bedrock, which typically is 1-5' thick. Ive read that some area...
