New Report from Colorado 204 0
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I went down with the BLM to our claim,'I call the walk into hell is easy, it's much harder to find your way out.' But if you want to find the good gold then you travel where most won't.

Information on Triple D and M claim 800 3
Started by gabrielmcguffey@gmail.com
Hello, I was wondering if anybody from the staff has any information on the Triple D and M claim in Ventura County, CA on Piru Creek. It is the closest claim to my house and there is no information under the directions or prospecting tabs in the claim directory. I haven't received my member package in the mail yet but was hoping to read something on the claim in the meantime.

Angeles National Forest 10300 18
Started by jsohlberg@att.net
The 2014 GPAA Guide (Lastest version, I believe) lists Angeles National Forest near Azusa California as Public Land on which prospectors can pan or sluice for gold. However, upon visiting the website for that national forest, I find this statement:
'All mining operations (location of mining claims, prospecting, and mining, including panning, sluicing, and dredging) under the 1872 Mining Law are prohibited within withdrawn areas of the Angeles National Forest. Public Law No. 57...

Can I scan the quartz with either of these to see if any gold is present I also have a sniper coil for the AT-Gold which I could try. Once I clear the brush I'm planning to scrape and brush the m...
