1 Replies and 4607 Views Chapters joining forces via Facebook!  4607  1 Started by  crashcrain@gmail.com Our Chapter recently got into a heated battle with the BLM trying to close down hundreds of thousands of acres in our region alone. Because those that want all prospecting shut down are very organized and doing the majority of the protesting we decided to try to join Chapters via the most commonly used website for Social Media, Facebook.     As much as I don't like using the site our message and the people wishing to join our fight took off. People from prospectors, other chapters,...

1 Replies and 5512 Views Did not find the claim  5512  1 Started by  garyingabq@gmail.com   Hi all,     I could use some help. I'm totally new. Went to the Little Jo and Little Jo 2 claims in Socorro County NM. The directions in the mining guide were very close so I found the road easily. The claim was to be about 6.33 miles after the highway turnoff. The road even had markers every .35 mile. I thought piece of cake as the actually goes through part of the claim from the map. When I got to the 6.25 mile marker I went very slowly to look for anything posted. Nothing...

1 Replies and 4642 Views BUSTING CLAYS!  4642  1 Started by  debatom@msn.com With all this stormy I have plenty of time on my hands to deal with a small bucket of my 2 cons off my shaker table. With a record run on the table from materials found on our last outing of the year producing 2000 grams of 1 cons out of a 5 gallon bucket  I had thought I had a great recovery but was to realize that I had just as much gold in the 2 cons as the 1cons. Even after pre soaking in dishwasher soap and micro managing the table and a all clear water run  the clays still ...

I'm in Alaska and have an idea of where I want to stake a claim...I'm checked with BLM and checked out alaskamapper.com and can't find any issues. Well, I'm not sure exactly how to start the process....like which forms and whatnot to fill out. It's winter now, but I'd love to have my claim ready for spring/summer. Anyone experienced with staking claims in Alaska Thanks!

I'm glad he is upstream from us because he's sent plenty of fine gold and flakes our way. So I decided to try my hand at this using a different concept with 100 ft. of 3' corrugated plastic pipe necked down to 11/2' at the bottom to make hea...
