Saying good bye for awhile 1182 4
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
Due to some family issues I’m hanging up my metal detectors for a while but just didn’t want to drop off the grid before saying good bye. I have to cancel my LDMA membership as well which also cancels my Lifetime GPAA membership. Being I’m paid up until the end of May I wanted to get this posted as soon as possible. Hopefully next year or so I’ll be able to rejoin and still be able to get out and prospect. I’ll still check out the Form every now and then and see how everyone is doing and see wha...

First trip to GPAA Claim 1201 3
Started by navynuke007@hotmail.com
I joined the GPAA a few years ago as a Lifetime member but, unfortunately, I have not been able to get to a claim as of yet. I've got some panning and sluice box use in a few other locations. I was just wondering if there was anything I needed to know prior to visiting my first GPAA Claim location

new members suffer 17235 75
Started by gmiller5374@yahoo.com
I am a new LDMA and GPAA member and I have to say this is the one of the most lame forums I have ever seen. There is virtually no new information about claims either GPAA or LDMA. The catalog of information is about worthless as no new information has been published in what appears to be months to mostly years. I want to get started prospecting, but most of the information is out dated or non existent. Why is there so little information for new members As it stands for newbie on the east s...

I bought a 20 acre claim in Idaho City on Granite Creek. I camped there for a week, and brought back several granite, and quartz peace's lined with both Gold and Silver, I dug into a Quartz vein I believe and have 2 small bowls full of sludge and Gold flakes. I am brand new and need help cleaning my minerals. If anyone is in or near Moses lake who has equipment and knowledge to help me, I would appreciate it. I also have a few big rocks with what I believe to be Black Onyx stones inside, as well...

No go. I tried emailing myself a link to the shared map. No go. I tried to export the kml and email the file to myself. No go. I installed Googl...

Mining olan 1089 4
Started by acrampton1@hotmail.com
I have recently staked a claim now it is time to put together a working plan. The claim is in NM along an arroyo. I understand about mapping the roads and structures utility pole etc. can the are to be worked is less than 5 acres. Is there a way to word my plan so I do not have to put up a huge bond to dig holes and prove the claim has enough gold. I am good with a pick and shovel but I need to move more dirt than that to really evaluate the whole claim. So I will need an excavator .

So, being new, I have been panning pay dirt over and over for practice. Now that I have a gram of gold in a vial of water, what is the best way to dry the gold so it can be weighed I have not found any videos on that phase.
