FORREST FENN TREASURE 469 0
Started by pbhunter4
I know a lot of people have been looking for treasure in the wrong place according to Dal's site (friend of Forrest Fenn}. Many, many people are looking for it in Yellowstone. You can read a cheap book and narrow down the location or keep throwing away money like looking in the wrong places like Yellowstone. Yellowstone is a no go, get the book. Forrest Fenn's book is great but it won't lead you to shiny dime. My book will help, get the book, save a bunch of money. https://www.facebook...

Prospecting in Oregon? 446 0
Started by y.jaron@gmail.com
I am a recently new member to GPAA. I have prospected in Washington state and go by the gold and fish pamphlet which lays out all of the regulations pretty well and are required to have the pamphlet on your person which is your permit/ HPA. For Oregon I am having trouble finding rules and regulations on prospecting and mining. Like what practices are legal vs illegal and times of year you can use certain equipment and such.

I will find it this summer, fairly positive. link below to my facebook where you can purchase the future best seller. Ha 'greenhorn' kind of misleading; I'd challenge Tom Massey any day to outpan him with REAL fine gold not what he calls fine gold, he can't catch it, but I think it means a greenhorn to this forum.

Claim map 1005 4
Started by rae38@nau.edu
Ok so I just joined and was wondering if there is an online user friendly map of all the claims. I see you can search an area online and get claims, but you have to go through every one to figure out where they are. Is there a spot on this site where the claims are mapped out with names so it's easier to search. I plan to spend the next month or two driving from Mammoth Lakes Ca. To Tucson and hitting our claims and doing other prospecting along the way, so just would like a nice user friendl...

Melting gold 746 4
Started by j.gray.17
I was smelting my gold and using propane but it didn’t heat up enough so I changed from propane to map gas and the gold seems like it melted into the flux. I’m new to this so I’m not sure exacly how to redo it. My flux went from black with a gold center to black with a greenish center that I assume is the gold mixed with the flux.

Perhaps some of my veteran prospectors can help me. The claim page gives me two gps coordinates (center and ingress points) How do I find the other 3 corners I don't want to cross over into someone else's claim or private property. Here is a claim I am interested in going to this month - GOLD PROSPECTORS 1, 2 & WARRIOR I can get my hands on a GPS unit if it makes it easier.

Hello,
My husband and I went hiking over at this park. I want you all to be aware that there,is a large tree that has fallen across the pathway leading down to the stream bed. Also,there is structure that is near the waterfall what I could see of it, it was made up of plastic cover and wooden planks ,I did not investigate as I heard voices and backtracked my way out. I did email the Forrest Service,pre what the GPAA told me to do.

I am a retired Marine who recently moved back to Minnesota and I am interested in prospecting here. I live in Lake City and would like to find places close to me. I have read about Nugget Lake in Wisconsin quite a bit, but have not been there yet. I know about the gold rush on the Zumbro river near Oronoco and that that area is on private land. I am assuming that prospecting would be better above the dam creating Lake Zumbro, but do not know if there are places for the pu...

Do not throw out your cons, pack them out for further processing 4393 7
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
I have been telling people for years they are throwing out their gold by panning the cons out in the river. The pan is the first process, the secondary may be a miller table, and the third might be a retort. I went down to my claim where I let another man dredge, but I instructed him to pan in a large tub and keep what he got. He relied on one of those gold wheel devices so all his cons were left in the tub, perfect for me. I got the cons out and processed them my own way and pulled out ...
