Confused: Need Info 12001 5
Started by msteele93210@sbcglobal.net

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.

I want to be informed so I don't do something stup...

Trying to Identify 9570 1
Started by worldavi@gate.net
I found a exposed ledge that had this type of material and I am trying to identify with out yet going to an assay office. Well at least until I get more samples of other materials to make it worth the min. charge. It is very decomposed and I was thinking it might be ore containing silver sulfides. From what I been reading, there are many forms that silver can be locked into. I found this in the Pershing County, Nevada area that is know for silver mining. This piece I saved whole, ...

Black sand deposits 11181 1
Started by aphaney@att.net
I've dredged sand and pea gravel for road construction and have ran into black sand 'rivers' a few times over the years. The 'rivers' have always been between 5-10 ft from the surface after removing the overburden. I've worked 9 to15' dredges and left 5 to 10ft sheer face walls where Black Sand deposits can be viewed vertically. We always pumped the material because we could not determine how far the 'Black Sand...

filling in holes 14512 7
Started by MICHAEL BUCKMAN
I have been a GPAA member for a year now and just extended my membership for 2 more years. I have only been to a couple of claims so far. One I found 4 grams on and a couple nice pickers. The other I managed around 10 different test pans all with zero gold so I left early. Anyway, I cant seem to wrap my mind around the idea of filling in holes. If all holes are filled back up, then how is anyone to know what has or hasn't been dug already Maybe I am not very politically correct on environmental...
