Drywasher Leaf Blower Motor Settings... 6408 4
Started by Chipbrault@gmail.com
Bought a new blower today from Lowe's. It's a Paulson 200mph Leaf blower. I do not believe it has a way to set the throttle to a steady setting while shoveling in the dirt. Does anybody have experience with this and some advice for a rookie
Thank you!
Chip

Location, Location, Location? (Asks the greenhorn) 8273 9
Started by cahorders@gmail.com
I'm a very new GPAA member living in south Alabama and I've never found a speck of gold. I'm biting at the bit to take a trip to the mountain area around GA, SC and NC - about 6 to 12 hours away. I went once years ago (armed with a toy gold pan) and spent the whole day just trying to find a spot. I felt like a dog sniffing over hours for the perfect spot to do its business. I found a river bank off of a main road filled with garbage and debris and tried my ...

Hello all,
This is my first post and first time being a member of GPAA. After watching Tom Massie for a very long time on the Outdoor Channel, and wanting to join this grand organization I was able to do so this year. As I said I have been a fan of the Gold Fever show for a long time, but never really could afford to join the GPAA until this year. Things have changed a bit for me over the years. My oldest son is moving off to college this month. My daughter is a se...

LDMA news for GPAA members 2719 0
Started by tpleibel@gmail.com
Normally I don't care as I am considering joining the LDMA. But the one word topic 'Fire' next to Scott Bar information category kind of makes me wonder. There are regular GPAA claims in that area too. And look at the long line of Duisenburg Auction item postings. Us regular GPAA members have cash too you know

Need help with battery selection 5745 3
Started by rhunt01@ius.edu
Hello:
I am building a sluice that will be fed with a Johnson 2200 GPH 12 V pump; it draws 7.5 amps. Does anyone know reasonably priced deep cycle (or regular) battery that will run this pump for 6 hours or so. Realistically, I will run the slice 6-8 times a year. So, I don't know if I really need a deep cycle battery for this number of recharges per year. Maybe I do Thanks ahead.

My name is Scott, I joined at the last show in Mesa. I have been collecting gear for over a year, doing some research...stuff. After joining I started putting my stuff together and trying to work out bugs and how things run. A couple of weeks ago I took my son and finally went out to a claim. I just dug up a couple of buckets of dirt from spots/areas that looked good from what I have researched. I am really looking to get out with some of you so I can learn.

I have looked at a place I would like to possibly claim. How would I go about, 1) finding out if there is a claim there already, 2) finding out if it is open to mining.

Spriggs Property Ohio - any tips 6083 1
Started by rhunt01@ius.edu
Hello:
I am planning my first visit to a GPAA site - the Spriggs property near Lucasville, OH. I will only have about 6 hours at the site. Anyone been there who can give some advice on a work plan. I have a small sluice. Since it is on a large river I am concerned if there is enough flow and drop--otherwise, shovel and pan. Any tips on good spots that might lead me to my first nice flake or nugget would be appreciated. Thanks

What is the best way to charge a 12v battery in the field Will a direct 12v(car lighter out)to alligator clips work Jumper cables It seems easy enough but this will be our first outing and I have no direct experience nor have I observed this accomplished firsthand. Cars have evolved from the simple machines of yesteryear and I do not wish to damage myself/others or the vehicles electronics.

Permits 4445 2
Started by benji27potf@yahoo.com
Hi, I plan on going onto the GPAA claims to pan, sluice and metal detect. The counties I plan on visiting are in El Dorado and Plumas counties.
What kind of prospecting requires permits in CA
Might seem like a silly question but I rather be safe than sorry.
Also to visit these GPAA claims, do I have to get a hold of the claim owner or is that something that members can visit anytime
Thank you for your time.
