Whites Surfmaster PI 5228 3
Started by wvmtneer1953@yahoo.com
Just wondering if anyone has tried using a White's Surfmaster in the desert. I have a Gold Bug 2 for small nuggets and just got the Surfmaster for the beach. I was thinking about taking the new unit to Arizona on my next trip. Thanks

Vids for Helping FIND places... Google Earth Net Tools 5377 2
Started by greenhalgh.roy@gmail.com
Hey Fellow Diggers!
I know I did a little bitch post about how the GPAA has not expanded the East Coast Holdings in the past 5 years I have been a member just a few weeks ago. It stirred the pot and we got some good support (that I'm not the only one feeling like a redheaded stepchild) as well as some GREAT response from the Big Dogs on what is in the works.
Over all they were hoping WE would help make contact with owners, spreading the Good Word- asking if they would t...

A cool desert dry panning video 4886 1
Started by thechargerdude@aol.com
This is a cool 'Ask Jeff Williams' video about desert dry panning and how to follow the black sand up the creek...It's called How to dry pan, and it's a new method that looks like a great idea.

Building a Home made river indoors. 8695 13
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
This is a pretty interesting challenge, what does it take to build a recyclable river in your own garage, be able to run materials, concentrates, and then keep the area pretty clean with low Ice build up.
So we came up with a system using a Keene Sluice over a tube that recycled the water, and we found it worked better then anything we can do on the river. Get your sluice set up at the correct angle first using small wood pieces placed between the tubs and once the angle is cor...

Got a Call from the GPAA the other day... 12352 24
Started by greenhalgh.roy@gmail.com
I got a message from Membership services the other day asking me why I have not sent in my renewal after being a member for over 4 years. I kind of wanted to share my thinking here because I don't think the explanation sunk into the young Lady enough so that the powers that be will have a clue. Blanket comment- the GPAAA is a great organization that is doing great things. Just not so much for the east Coast.
Now I'll grant that living in FLORIDA, just about the only state k...

Lost MINES AND BURIED TREASURES: 4230 1
Started by debatom@msn.com
The last few winters and springs we have ben looking for lost mines or treasures in northern Nv. described in the book NEVADA LOST MINES AND BURIED TREASURES by Douglas Mc Donald. The main one we chased was the three pools of gold and the story of John Durkin finding float north of pyramid lake and assaying at $ 15000.00 a ton but never finding the lode after 400 ft. of tunnel and trenches but I believe I have. Though my assays are only $ 7800.00 a ton I think I have figured it out ...

Anyone got a spare/non-used GPAA mining Guide? 7277 9
Started by Duality1980@yahoo.com
Aside from losing things on a daily basis, I lost my 2014 mining guide (I am up to date on dues through Oct 2017) in a move from Inland Empire California to Orange County California. It's not uncommon with my condition, took a brain rattle overseas in Iraq and never been quite the same. I feel the need to share a bit as I was hoping someone might have a current mining guide lying around collecting dust and I'll even offer to buy it if you can let it go for less that the GPAA told me it would c...

Trumps selection to head up the EPA seems like a great choice which might work well for you dredgers. Scott Pruit is very combative with the EPA. 'Representing his state as attorney general since 2011, Pruitt has repeatedly sued the EPA to roll back environmental regulations and other health protections. He joined with other Republican attorneys general in opposing the Clean Power Plan, which seeks to limit planet-warming carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants. Pruitt has argued that curb...

Started by debatom@msn.com
Cold and windy today after a snow storm and then rained it all off so I decided to work on a project that I have been working on for a while which is a beer keg smelter. Had already bought the refractory and got a keg from my kids scrap yard and had it most the way ready to pour the cement. But again my shed is too cold so it was back to the kitchen so waited for her to leave Christmas shopping to set up the tubs and get the hoe and other goodies ready to complete the task. All went well...

Hey guys...
I feel like an idiot here.
Just retired to an RV. Am about 200 miles away from the Gold Basin on the first treasure trip of my 'golden age'...
Figured I better bust out my mining guide and get my poop in a group...
And I can't find it! I think I left it at a restaurant 650 miles back :-(
Great way to start, I know...
Need to get a new one and fast. Can someone tell me how to go about that
