Not Showing As Chapter Member 4256 1
Started by dmcelyea@gmail.com
Good morning. I clicked on the button to join a chapter but didn't see any change to my membership. I talked with the lady in charge and she told me that she hadn't seen anything on my submission. She has added me to that chapter but I still do not see that I am a chapter member. Anyone else had this problem

New to area and could use some help? 2386 0
Started by crashcrain@gmail.com
The wife and I drove down to Montrose County this weekend down HWY 141 and the river was too deep and running too fast to find a place to pan. I will admit we found some pretty cool rocks from the tailings from old mines and one literally covered our hands in gold dust, it was finer than I have ever seen. But we are looking for a place and a group of people to set up with, learn the area, and then purchase a sluice.
My name is Ben and my wife's name is Paula and if we could find a coupl...

Better late than never, or still a pipe dream? 6769 2
Started by Cpc1to3@hotmail.com
My days as a prospector came about suddenly, when my wife and son presented my first gold pan and bag of paydirt for my 26th birthday (October 2014). They had observed my love for geology through stories of picking quartz out of my Uncle's Arkansas driveway, to cracking open fossilized ferns and mushrooms picked from Shadow Lake, IL. I often watched 'Gold Rush' with them, and dreamed of being a genuine miner. Not knowing of the immense world of small-scale mining, I was quick to abando...

Highway cuts 2782 0
Started by worldavi@gate.net
When driving through various secondary roads in the west, especially like Nevada I always see very interesting ground where the highway was actually blasted through hills/mountains in order to lay the roadbed. Has anyone ever tried checking these cuts for possible veins or exposed gold bearing material. Do you think that these guys working these road construction areas in the past ever uncovered gold I am tempted to pull off in a safe area and hike onto these areas si...

Hi all,
We had plans for another claim but that fell off the deep end. So, since we already have the trip planed and things paid for I want to see if anyone had any more info on the Nancy's claim in placer county Ca. other then what is in the member book. We may just go there instead but would like a heads up if anyone can help with this area.
Thanks Mary.

Moab Claim 1 Information - Is there even gold? 5459 1
Started by ryan.weidert@gmail.com
Hi all,
After a trip to Arizona to dry wash before the rains, I stopped by the Moab 1 claim (page CL-159) on my way home to check it out. Having worked within 20 miles of the site as an exploration geologist for uranium I was surprised to see a gold claim there, as it is out in the sandy, silty, sedimentary lands, as far as one can see. The guidebook states that 'We had this claim tested and it gave off loots of gold flake', which really piqued my interest. I did a LR2000 search and foun...

With all the different systems out there it is a bit overwhelming on which one is a good place to start. Blue bowls, spiral panning wheels, gold cube, mini sluices..... I've even heard that some will mix their black sand with vinegar in a rock tumbler for 24 hrs. then combine it with salt and heat it I'm sure each one has its pro's and con's and probably a lot is personal preference, but does any one type stand out above the rest Ultimately after all the resea...
