Keene 190 series drywasher - opinions? 2865 0
Started by jlocke1970@att.net
Hello all,
I have my eyes on the new Keene 190 (actually the 192, with the wet conversion kit) drywasher. Before I go drop a pretty penny, I thought I'd ask if anyone out there has any experience with one. I know that one was featured on an episode of Gold Trails......would just appreciate the input of anybody else that may have some hours using one. It sure seems like a pretty sweet piece of equipment!
Thanks,
Jim

Need a bit of help getting outfitted 13443 39
Started by challengerdev@gmail.com
Fairly new at this; have a few pans and a small power sluice. Could use your collected wisdom on better outfitting myself. Clothing / waders / shovels & crevicers, all that ancillary stuff. If it has worked for you it will probably work for me, too. What has made your forays better (and maybe profitable) Thanx.

New EPA Clean Water Act? 2077 0
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
Since this was announced a few days ago I have been reading up on what all it includes and requires permits for because I fear it will effect all of us that like to play in the streams. I have been reading through their website and there are so many caveats it is hard to determine the meaning of the language. If somebody more talented in the legal field than myself could please bring light onto the topic it would be much appreciated I am looking for the full 2000 page New Regulation to read for...

Hey there fellow miners! I'm new to the GPAA and am researching for my first trip as a member. I'm looking for some info on 'lucky 13 - CAMC298534 (A), page CL-59 in the book. I'd like to plan the trip in the next couple weeks. the book has no info, so comments on findings, terrain, campsites and what kind of gear can be used would be a lot of help not to mention greatly appreciated. Not set on going to this claim but would like to spend a week in NorCal looking for color......

Started by jlocke1970@att.net
Hello, I had what I hope is a quick question;
I am looking at filing a claim later this year on an abandoned (according to LR2000) claim area.
My question is..... Is there any legal issue in my prospecting and testing of the area BEFORE I file the claim
I truly appreciate any input or advice here!
Take care, all!
Jim
I am sorry for what is probably a VERY 'newbie' question!

Fairbanks AK dredge trip 5071 0
Started by cowboybrj81@gmail.com
I am finally going to get to do some Alaska dredging this summer and am looking for anyone who can give me advice or even take a few days off and wash some dirt with me in Jun. I have a 2' suction dredge (I have never used it but it is brand new, hence the need for help) and will be looking for a trip from the 17th to 19th of Jun. Any help/advice or hot spots to hit (I plan on going to the GPAA claim near Circle) would be greatly appreciated.

I have been admiring one of these and the cost is not too bad but was wondering if it would fit the bill and do the job after classification of the material. It is highly portable but would have to provide water in a dry area. I have seen videos of this in operation but will it get the fine gold

Newby in CA - Permits? 3151 2
Started by cmow2006@yahoo.com
Howdy,
I signed my son and I up with GPAA mainly because he has some interest in doing some gold panning. I think it would be fun and a great opportunity to do something together and get him away from the stinking computer and video games!
One question I have is, in California do you need some kind of permit to just go out and do some panning/prospecting
Thanks
