    Hoping to hit a few of the claims in Placer and Nevada county this weekend. I only own a few things to do this. I purchased a Garrett panning kit with a 15 inch 1/2 inch classifier and gravity trap, with a 8 inch gravity trap. It had some things to keep the gold in and a set of tweezers with a magnifying glass attached. Was like 40 bucks I think. Then I purchased a 6 inch trap for finer stuff. I hope to hit this claim first. Has anyone hit this one that can give me some pointers?

    I was going to rent a metal detector but apparently the ones that will find gold are very expensive and no one rents them anymore. If anyone in the area has one I can use or would like to come join me and help me learn....I know I am asking for someone to say "Look there it is", but I just wamt to be in the general vicinity.

    I'd like to know how you did. I'm a newbie, just joined GPAA today, Benn lurking a while. I'm in Louisiana, planning an Arizona trip in the next month or so. There is sooo much info here it is difficult to figure out good from bad.
    I plan on prospecting then dry panning and bringing home material to pan as time permits.
    How did you decide where to go your first time to AZ?
