Hi All From March 17th to March 21st we will be having a outing out at the claim. Come on out and enjoy the fun as we dry wash and metal detect for Placer Pete Gold! Spend a day or more with us. We will also be working with a small group of greenhorns on Friday and Saturday in dedicated classes to learn how to read the claim to dry washing / metal detecting through clean out and weighing your gold! Contact us for details on the classes. There are only 4 spaces left in these dedicated classes. If you are a seasoned prospector and just want to share some stories or new to the prospecting activity this is a great place and time to share and learn. Hope to see the GPAA/LDMA folks out there.

Hey there, greenhorn here. I’ve known about gold mining for years, and decided to do more in depth research over the last few months and realized even if I live in Houston, Texas I can still mine gold! So I’m really interested in buying equipment, getting out there, learning, mining, and basically spending a season out there in other states. Would a class like yours be open to me?

Great Mark. Since most of our events are in the spring, fall and winter (the desert is hot in the summer of course) we hope to see you at an upcoming outing or class in the near future. We are planning our advanced prospecting course ( 3 days) for the near future, probably in early to mid May. Thanks for joining the mailing list. Good luck and may your pan always have color.

Steve, Thank you, ive looked more into it and have seen that its dry washing in the desert, as well as you need to pay for your spot daily?. Would be nice, but im planning on buying a gold hog highbanker and was wanting to start off with that and learning to run material with water. I will undoubtedly attend one of your courses, but id want to get my feet wet first in the waters prospecting. Then again its not too late for me to buy a dry wash plant lol. Im keeping my options open. Mark, thats actually really great. I saw its a little over an hour from where i am here in Houston so id be happy to meet up. Im wanting to meet more prospectors here in Texas, maybe even do a trip here in Texas with fellow prospectors before i go all out and head to other state(s) for months. As i said im wanting to spend a season traveling the states mining for gold and hopefully pull in around 2 ounces a month. I know the goal is pretty high and a bit of a long shot, but ive also learned if you have a bit of knowledge, and perseverance, you can make it happen. (If anyone has a reality check hit me with it now lol) Anyways im getting off track, ill send you an email, we'll talk more on there brother.

Hi Kevin and Mark Thanks for the interest in our Upcoming activity in the desert. I would like to encourage both of you to sign up for our mailing list again. It seems that there was an error in the web site regarding the email address. This has been fixed but unfortunately your email address was not sent to us to add you to our list. If you could please give it one more shot I will make sure you get onto our list. Thanks www.placerpetesgoldcamp.com As far a desert versus river prospecting well I really enjoy both however in California it's a bit difficult to do any water prospecting beyond shovel and sluice box unless you are 300 feet / yards? (Don't exactly remember) from the water source. So please make sure you are following the rules before starting out on an adventure you may not be able to fulfill. Thanks again

Recently rejoined the GPAA I’m interested in coming out to the Placer Pete claim with the wife & grandkids. Couple of questions: 1) Is it cool to bring out my Lab puppy. I know seems like a stupid question being in the middle of nowhere but I don’t want to make the trip and piss off the claim owners. 2) is the somewhere nearby to park my motor home? My wife isn’t into roughing it & to be honest I’ve gotten softer in recent years.

Hi Friends of Placer Pete. Just got back from the claim and despite the very hot weather limiting our dig time and increasing our relaxation time we did pretty well. Our payout was one gram for 10 hours of digging over 3 days. The claim is certainly paying good Karma to those who venture out to the clam in the summer time! Hey - don't forget the upcoming the upcoming Octoberfest outing at the claim! We hope to see you there.

With more folks attending than ever before the Placer Pete outing was very well received. A great group of people worked with us to find some of the precious gold on the property. Everyone working with either the claim owners and other experienced friends of Placer Pete did well in their hunt for gold. The claim gave, once again, about $8 to $15 per yard. The campfires and Saturday party were well attended. Some of the participants did decide to venture out on their own and may not have done as well. Some unfortunately decided to dig in holes that are being reclaimed and their success was not as bountiful as the rest of the folks. That is the nature of the beast I suppose. We even had a first-time metal detector find her first piece of gold! That was great to hear. All in all, we had a wonderful time with the folks at the outing and we look forward to seeing them again at our next outing in early spring next year. Have a great day.

Our March Placer Pete outing was our most attended by far. We had multiple Clubs in attendance and more than 10 new to prospecting! As usual the folks who Drywashed faired better than those who metal detected, but all in all gold was still to be found at Placer Pete. With multiple folks attending we had prospectors all over the claim. We even had on prospector decide that it was time for the family to get their own claim. Our best wishes to them. The Saturday Pot Luck dinner was spectacular with great food and attendance. Pete's gold was in the fine to picker category . No reports of nuggets found this time around. The weather was wonderful with only a bit of a breeze disrupting us in the evening hours. Typical desert weather for March. All in all, this outing was a huge success.

Hi everyone, It was great to see everyone at the Pomona Gold Show. Now that the show is over we have a big announcement regarding our upcoming Oktoberfest at the claim. This year's Oktoberfest will feature Kevin Hoagland and other GPAA folks. They will be coming out to conduct classes for all skill levels during the outing. Keven says He "may have at that time [Placer Pete's Oktoberfest] something special to share with everyone there, not a promise but it is a goal ..." The outing is again free to those who attend. Classes from metal detecting and Drywashing to Fine gold recovery and prospecting will be offered. You will also get a chance to "Walk the Claim" with the Claim owners. Always a great way to get the low down on the claim itself. To attend we request that you sign up through the www.Placerpetesgoldcamp.com web site and let us know you are coming. There is plenty of camping area and the roads to the claim is wide and and a bit bumpy but very navigable with a two wheel drive car or a large RV or trailer. The event will be held on October 7 - 9 at the Placer Pete Claim. Classes start at 10:30 Friday and continue through Sunday. Of course, you are are welcomed to just go out on your own and find some Placer Pete gold for yourself. Don't forget the Saturday Night Oktoberfest Pot Luck. We hope you can make it. Steve and Phil

There is no cost.

Thank you to all who have signed up for the event. It really helps us with our planning. The calendar of events for the 3 days is still being developed but I am able to offer this update. The GPAA’s Kevin Hoagland is the author of a bi-monthly article in the Gold Prospectors magazine named Where’s the Gold. We have asked Kevin to use Placer Pete as an area to conduct a Where’s the Gold session and he has agreed. You too can now be directly involved in a Where’s the Gold segment hosted by Kevin Hoagland on the Placer Pete’s Claim. All you need to do is to just show up for the Oktoberfest event and join Kevin on his hunt for gold on the Placer Pete Claim! We haven’t finalized the schedule yet. I will get that to all of the folks coming within the next few weeks. Please remember to sign up for the event through the web site, www.placerpetesgoldcamp.com to receive your invitation. Come on out and join Kevin in a Where’s the Gold adventure. Hope to see you at the claim. Steve and Phil

Hi Steven I will check to make aure you are on our list for the upcoming Oktoberfest at the Placer Pete claim. First of all there is no water available at the claim. We are in the desert and it is a dry claim. You can camp anywhere you wish but it is recommended that in order to get to know other prospectors that camping in the general area as others will be beneficial. As far as equipment goes the best thing to do is to give me a call at 714-658-7972. I'll be glad to answer your questions. Hope to see you at the claim. Steve

Exciting News The Prospectors Club of Southern California (PCSC) has agreed to join the upcoming Octoberfest Event. On Saturday October 8th at 3:30 pm they will be conducting a Coin and Nugget Hunt. These are always fun and the metal detectorists can hunt in a seeded area for goodies. There may be a nominal donation requested to offset the hunt cost, see the PCSC folks at the event for more details. Just another great reason to join our placer Pete’s Octoberfest. Make sure you have registered for the event at www.placerpetesgoldcamp.com See you at the Claim Steve / Phil

Oktoberfest at the Placer Pete Claim was a huge success. We had over 50 folks attend and we all had a great time. We had the GPAA (Kevin Hoagland), several members from the Prospectors Club of California, some very accomplished prospectors and many new folks to the hobby in attendance. The Oktoberfest themed potluck was a huge success as was the "In your face Blueberry beer" brewed by Phil and I. Look forward to next year. Our next outing should be in March for .... wait for it ....... St Patrick's day! Hope you all find color in your pan Steve

Thanks Steve! I Joined the email list to insure I receive more info and updates. Affordability is my only concern as a COLA has been assured, but not yet received. It would be my new Tacoma “Amazing Grace’s” first mining trip! I’m not yet as good as I will be, but I know my limitations. Rebuilding again! I assisted at an Italian Bar common dig and enjoy the ability to educate within my experience level, and willing to do any job in support of the experience as a volunteer too. We can talk further later rather than typing a resume! Scott 🤠👍🇺🇸 ETA, Only a “Greenhorn” on the board and friends know me as “Candy Ass” 😉

Greetings Steve and Phil. Hope you are all doing well and sure miss seeing you guys out on the claim and watching you use new inventions to make gold recovery easier. It was a privilege when you asked me to go over your tailings and excited when you found your first nugget with the Gold Monster. I also miss the early morning hours prospecting, the Kit Fox that stole my headphones, and watching the sun coming up. I read about your Octoberfest and it looked like lots of fun and a great success. Really enjoyed the GPAA outing, "Where's the Gold?" on Placer Pete. This was my favorite "go to" claim and found 370 nuggets on your claim, from pinhead to 1/4 ounce, and yes there were days getting skunked. So, there is gold there. Following your adventures from AZ, near Congress and Stanton. Thanks. Dan
