Rookie Alert, AKA GREEN HORN 3678 2
Started by timoda@yahoo.com
Been watching Gold Fever and slowly getting hooked on the idea of prospecting. Currently in the market for a compact portable sluice box and a metal detector. I have my camping equipment and a gold pan. Been slowly putting together my stuff for a low key simple personal operation to get my knees dirty, shoes wet and in the end hopeful but also realistic in finding some color this spring, summer and fall. Im single, divorced and outside of school and work have no real comm...

Hello everyone! My name is Noel and from Az. I have been a member since 1992, but really haven't taken advantage of the membership much. I like to keep my dues current because I believe in the right of prospecting and mining. I would have joined a local club years ago, but my work schedule got in the way. I do hope to get out more this year though! But any how, I thought I'd drop by and introduce myself. Happy Prospecting!

Sluice boxes 8366 4
Started by pmcguire@tds.net
Hi all,
I am new to prospecting, I have panned in the past and used homemade sluice boxes with little success, but I think it is time to upgrade. I am looking into buying a sluice box and could use any help and or recommendations that you might have. I will primarily be using the sluice in and around Colorado. The two sluice boxes I have been looking into lately are the 36' prospector Bazooka gold trap and the Grizzly 3 sluice. I understand that the grizzly is operated on the bank not directly ...

Going to plan a week trip over to that area. There is a GPAA claim Carol Placer. Anyone ever work this ground and how did you do. Also wondering if I should be exploring other areas, there is so much BLM to cover around there. Will have 5th wheel and ATV, hopefully there is a good camping spot near the claim.

I'll be tent camping, driving a jeep and drywashing. I might borrow a buddy's Garrett detector. Anyways, from what I've read you're not allowed to camp in the Quartzsite deserts. Your supposed to stay on BLM campgrounds and pay. Add to which they offer zero provisions like water/showers/etc. Has anyone tent camped out there w/o issue I don't want to have to pack up and drive 10 miles to go to a campground every night. Maybe every few days I'll head into town for supplies and take a showe...
