Heading to Colorado 5033 12

I joined the GPAA last year and this is my first time to post anything on here. I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. My girlfriend and I are heading to Colorado from south Texas for a “scenic tour”. We will be in the Durango, Silverton, Montrose area on the 11th and 12th of August. Anyone who might be prospecting in those areas and who might be interested in some free labor and willing to teach someone who is brand new and completely green, just shoot me a message and we can see...

opinions of access to claims 2764 6

Hello to all, I'm trying to get a read on some of the suggested routes and requirements that it takes to get to the claims. In Arizona the rocky and be real rocky and sandy can be deep sandy in the washes. I know the rental companies say no go on off road adventures but that is a definition. I've been reading the access points that some of the gentlemen have added to the claims and the pictures are a added value to say the least. I have done off road driving before but nothing...

Trip to Little Miami 1913 6
Started by Mistman
Went to Georgia to do a little highbanking, got snowed in for several days, was unable to do any highbanking. Got back home to Ohio and had that itch I just had to scratch, so I went to the Little Miami. About 3 hours of running, ended up with some nice gold and a big fossil. Will be grateful to anyone who can help identify the fossil.

I was researching the Nancy's Gold claim today and I found something funny, the exact same 30 acre location is also 1/2 of a 60 acre claim called Holy Moly, both claims are listed as valid surface Placer claims with different owners.

Hi All,
I still cannot figure out how to upload a photo into a posting. Figured out how to upload my image for the icon, but not this other.
Also, tried searching but could not find instruction there either (likely my fault since there were a ton of hits on the search and I gave up after about 15 or so).
Thank you in advance!

No Claim Markers? 5098 34
Started by Captain Debris
I am a new member here in Northern California and have been to two claims so far. Both were unmarked in any way I could find. Most notably at the entry points, No notices of federal mining claim were anywhere to be found. The BLM land office in El Dorado Hills has told me unmarked claims are considered unprotected by them. On the Lady Bug claim there is an obvious public entry point with no claim signs and on S Able Granma there is a 4x4 road to a well developed camp site that also has no markin...

Hi Folks.
Just joined the GPAA today. I live in the great gold prospecting State of Florida. However, I do get make trips to Georgia and the Carolinas a few times a year so I am looking forward to getting expert at panning with time. My last visit to Dahlonega got me hooked.
