In Reno 3652 0
Started by worldavi@gate.net
I am in Reno Nevada this week and have weekends free. Planning on going north to Pershing or Humboldt Counties to metal detect. Any one interested I am not yet sure where I want to go except somewhere that obviously has gold waiting to be found. Probably avoid Rye Patch and possibly try Santa Rosa mountains. Any good ideas where to go I will likely bring my Whites TLD and a pan, classifier, and water...

Trying Out Idaho 12486 8
Started by Sopchoppy7@aol.com
Hi to everyone out there. I am new to GPAA (so forgive any ignorant questions). My son and I are heading out west in June with a final destination of Idaho to give prospecting a hearty try. I am planning on trying out the GPAA claims while there. I just read that you can also request a 3 day trial to LDMA once. Are there any LDMA claims in Idaho I welcome any advice that could help us be a little less green while working for that first flash of gold.

Black Hills information 4574 1
Started by cody.wassmann@rocky.edu
Hello everyone,
I am new to this whole thing, so any help will be appreciated. I ended up on a family trip and we will be heading to the Black Hills of SD today for a few hours. The rest of the family wants to hit the casinos, but I would much rather be outside playing in the dirt. I wasn't expecting this stop so I don't have any equipment with me, so I was wondering if there was anything in the Deadwood area that could be productive and where I could get at lea...

I need a small fireplace shovel 5994 2
Started by rhunt01@ius.edu
Several weeks ago (before joining) I ran into a couple of members of the southern Indiana GPA at Morgan/Monroe State Forest where large shovels are not permitted. Had a nice conversation but I forgot to write down their names (I have trouble remembering names). Anyway, one of them showed me a small, flat bottomed fireplace shovel that I just have to have. Lowe's has a cheap fireplace shovel that a five year old could bend in half. I have looked all over the internet, but ...

I know people make changes and that is their right to do so, so with that said we have to accept what changes we have to accept. But can someone explain to me how I can post pictures for my avitar as I can not find any way to upload photos in my profile settings.

Started by msteele93210@sbcglobal.net
I'm not a dredger myself, but ive been trying to follow the case of the fresno couple who got detained for dredging their claim. I can't seem to keep up with the regs but from what I understand, dredging is illegal in Ca. Other sites are up in arms about their detainment. So help me understand, if they were dredging on a stream, creek, etc. in CA, weren't they breaking the law I keep reading the words Federal Claim.
