To Classify or Not To Classify 17257 9
Started by jsohlberg@att.net
After reading the article in the Pick and Shovel dealing with tuning one's sluice, it seemed the the writer's recommendation that classification is important in reducing the gold losses. My mentor, a prospector of some 30 years, assures me that there is no need to classify and, in fact, is adamant about dropping larger rocks on the sluice front end so as not to lose any gold that may be clinging to those rocks. Normally being assigned to the sluice box when we are out prospecting, it...

GPS equipment 8494 7
Started by Mikeminer80@gmail.com
Good afternoon all,
I am a new member and also a new prospector (really new) and went out to a couple of claims in Mohave County Az. yesterday. Although the directions were pretty good, I don't have a GPS so I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot. Need advice on purchasing a decent GPS either for both the vehicle and walking the area or just for walking the area. Really don't want to piss off someone by intruding on their claim and it might help me become friends with the claim owner.
Thanks...
