Tips’ for Gold Panning and Prospecting in Wyoming 13044 3
Started by Timmelko@hotmail.com
I contracted gold fever recently while on Vacation this July in Cheyenne Wyoming for Frontier Days. I stopped by a little store called Diggin’ It in Cheyenne where I purchased a basic panning starter kit and a bag of pay pay-dirt to try my luck. The guy was super nice and even tried to talk me out of buying a shovel from him that he mentioned I could get cheaper at Home Depot. I did find several little bits of gold totaling .315 Grams. It was enough to get me hooked!

The updated claim maps & listings...? 9617 6
Started by glhewitt1@yahoo.com
OK, New guy here, but it seems that there must be online GPAA claims listings somewhere and I am not finding that link on the website. So, as a new guy, I think I can ask that question, where are the current GPAA claims listings online If there are none online, where does the new guy go for the most updated GPAA claim listings Thank You in advance.

New Mexico Gold 10795 6
Started by decc200@aa.edu
Hey guys,
I just joined the forums and got a membership (Cant wait to head out to the claims.). I am 15 and live in Albuquerque New Mexico. I have been gold prospecting for a year now ( Gees time fly's). I have a mini high banker with sluice extension and a hand trommel. I have not found much gold but we have a little bit. With out a dry-washer its hard to get a lot of gold in NM. Just wanted to say high.

Why is there such a low level of Activity on the Forums? 8717 9
Started by dixiedesertdigger@gmail.com
It's dissappointing seeing so many members who have had sincere questions or made genuine offers of friendship to share their passion for Gold Prospecting to only go unanswered. We have more than 33,000 members registered here and yet such a low level of interaction and activity... It's sad! Anyways... I am pretty good at this kind of thing but very limited in knowledge. My experience is in metal detecting and mostly relic shooting up to this point. I am just now getting into Gold and nugget sho...

Fine gold recovery? 28446 54
Started by Jamesmcgrew@rocketmail.com
So I'm running into a issue of not being able to get the fines out of my concentrates.( I've been saving all concentrates). Quick google search I find a ton of gadgets and watzitdo's at various places, and of them worth it I saw some YouTube vids of a bearded fella classifying down the material a bunch of times then panning. Is that a better route Any insight would be helpful James

Frustrated NOOB 16311 16
Started by byfert@yahoo.com
OK I'm frustrating myself. At the moment I can only classify down to 30. When I'm panning I am seeing what I think is flour gold flowing out of my pan. I am using a Garret riffle pan. I get my concentrates very wet and swirl it around and when I look in the pan I see gold on top of the rest of the cons. When I'm panning I can watch the flakes move up the riffles and the rest of the cons stay in the pan. Could it be that what I'm seeing is mica It sure looks shiny yellow to me.
I guess I...

Best Dry sluicing process? 7046 6
Started by duluthian25.zapp@gmail.com
I an truly a greenhorn when it comes to prospecting. I live in AZ and have just joined GPAA. I am curious about dry prospecting since the water sources are very spread out, to say the least, in AZ.
I am curious about prospecting on day trips, hiking trips. I am not looking to carry a number of water jugs through the desert to try and run a recirculating sluice. The majority of the trips I want to go on appear to have a few miles of hiking to do so I would prefer ...

minecache.com 8121 3
Started by chris@northpines.us
A friend told me about it. Seems it's an overlay for Google Earth that displays mining claims of all types. It also links to BLM's LR2000.
They have a free seven day trial and then it's a $35.00 per year per computer license.
Has anybody heard of or used this I'm wondering if this might be a good investment.
Thanks -------------------------------------

Can you turn a Jet Ski in to a Gold Dredge? 8841 6
Started by carl.l.waddell@gmail.com
My Son left his old Yamaha Jet ski on the side of my house
and forgot about it. I am in California and cannot use a dredge yet, but was
thinking that Jet Ski might make a nice dredge. Plus that will teach him not to
leave things on the side of the house.
So has this been done yet, and any DIY dredge plans out
there.
Thank you,
