Video Uploads and Online Publications 3809 1
Started by senorclay2@gmail.com
I just read an issue of Gold Prospectors magazine using the new Online Publications feature. When I got used to the way to navigate and size the pages, I soon got the hang of it. I like it a lot. I do receive the magazine and will continue to do so for when I might want to review an article in the field where I might not have access to the internet. But, using the new feature was nice too. I highly recommend it. The opportunity to post video files is going to be interesting. I look forward ...

Drywasher Leaf Blower Motor Settings... 6901 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) 8950 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...

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 6191 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.

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 6543 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
