New To GPAA 4609 4
Started by swiftmachine@gmail.com
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...

Good morning fellow GPAA members! I'm looking for information about a reasonably simple and inexpensive online course in basic geology and/or mining, just to improve my knowledge on rocks, minerals, and how to find and/or identify them etc. As a greenhorn i figure the more i can learn, the more successful I'll be. Any recommendations / Ideas Thank you. Randy Lawson

Fine gold in creek question 9733 11
Started by Sal@historyhunts.com
I have located a patch of creek with lots of very fine gold and a few pieces big enough for tweezers - still tiny. This shows as much as 20 colors in a pan of 1/2 inch classified material. I've only dug in the surface gravels - say surface to 2 feet - with gold being found on surface on down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as to where larger gold might be. My thoughts are possibly upstream or deeper but I am relatively new at this. Thanks

Gold Bug II vs Gold Bug II Pro 15720 20
Started by Jputke@hotmail.com
Hi Everyone, I am new to GPAA and prospecting. I am thinking of getting a metal detector. I met a guy who has a Gold Bug II Pro. He likes it, although he said he has never found any nuggets with it yet. He said if I bought one he could show me how to use it. I've been reading as much as I can on detectors and reading forums. From what I've seen and read on forums, people seem to say better things about the Gold Bug II than the Gold Bug II Pro. Any advice for me before I buy Which one will...

Best Producing Family Friendly Claim 4886 3
Started by clemgram99@gmail.com
Any recommendations on a claim that will produce color, has easy access, with fewer cougars, bears, and snakes. My son (20), wife (60), and I wants to try a hand at gold panning / detecting.
State, County, Federal, Rules, Regs, and carrying a shotgun while out of state, (Iowa vs Colorado), is causing Gray Hair!

Micron Gold Processing 6173 2

These gentlemen have approached me twice about doing a demonstration of their product, and I must say I am not only impressed but a few hundred dollars richer from just 2 gallons of material that had already been panned, and I just classified it down to 20 micron and below.
The name of the company is goldstrikemicrongold.com. You can buy one of their machines or send them buckets of cons for them to process. The price is either 1/3 the gold recovered or $100 per 5 gallo...

Professional Dredging Job Opportunity? 4900 2
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
Talking with a 11 Claim owner, he is working at getting a permit to run a 5' Dredge up a creek that has never been touched in Colorado. He is currently completing the permits, and he needs people with dredging experience to work it. The creek is not large enough to support pontoons but anybody can rig up a wench or come along to move it forward. The pictures of the materials are unbelievable and I am pretty sure he will pay well since he has no dredging and only lode experience hi...

Hi Everyone,
New'ish member here.
