Hello Prospectors and Miners 34279 29
Started by khoagland@goldprospectors.org
Hi Prospectors,
I asked our Social Media Guru Paul to create this area within the Forum to make it a bit easier for me to see and respond to Members Prospecting & Mining questions.
There have been a number of occasions that I have missed questions that were directed to me, this is not going to be the case any longer. I can't say that I will respond immediately because of of my schedule and the fact that there are a lot of places I travel that simply do not have connectivity. But know tha...

Tesoro Company 24 1
Started by rshafersr@gmail.com
I purchased a Shark from them and now have a 'left in batteries' problem. I wanted to contact their service department for information about possible repairs but get no answering of phone calls or replies to messages left with the company. their website still existed three weeks ago but the was no interaction with my inputs and no where to leave an email. Just curious if you have any inkling as to their current business status. Thanks in advance, Roland Shafer rshafersrgmail.com

?? ABOUT STAKING A NEW CLAIM FOR GPAA 151 4
Started by edwinkrueger73@icloud.com
I am in Southern California near Camp Pendelton. Recently I was looking for a place to play in the dirt, I found a great piece of river to work. I did my due diligence and could not find any claims to the land. I am not very experienced in this endeavor but I think that this is a good spot as every time I have gone out I have found color in my pan. Again I am not very good at this yet so I may not be looking in the right spots, however each time I have gone I have tested a different spot and eac...

I am wanting to visit some GPAA claims in NM but when I looked them up on the LR2000 they are not registered to GPAA. They are the Royal Flush and the Sunrise group. What's up with that I don't want to get shot for claim jumping.

upper piru creek 5106 2
Started by mcmebyte@sbcglobal.net
I realize piru creek has been heavily worked for years but it is still close to home and an easy day trip. Have been there 3 times with zero results. I also know gpaa has a claim there somewhere. (the map is vague.) Can anyone give me some insight as to where they have recently found any color or where might still be a good place to try Any old mine shafts or operations with directions

Cowboy X update: Gold is, and was, plentiful, especially in ancient cultures. Try to get some now. If you can save multitudes of concentrates and capture that micron, more power to you! My start, decades ago, was tweezing tiny specks, until I was laughed at by a Talkeetna, AK Potato Patch Alaska miner. He gave me a 3 oz. nugget. I graduated and was successful in finding. Fines reintroduced. Small, odd shaped gold is currently mystifying me with it's behavior when recover...

Hey Kevin, is there a way to get the coordinates for the Lucky Linda Claim From what I've read, others are accessing the claim, but I am at a loss as to what they are using to locate the claim borders. Bewildering as to why they aren't in the online Guide. Thanks from Greg in Vancouver, WA.

In November, weather permitting, I'm planning a trip to LLA and wanted to know if I can tent camp next to the dirt road just west of the claim. My plan is to camp along the road just west and center of the claim and walk to the claim. I know there is an elevation drop getting to the claim, but looking at google maps that appears to be one of my best options. Any suggestion, comments or ideas would be helpfull. I'll be metal detecting only, using a Goldbug 2, and a 6' coil. I know the road can ge...

Hopeless 1 in Broadwater county Montana 408 2
Started by tbagemstone@gmail.com
Hi Kevin. My name is Tom Allen and I belong to your fine club which I enjoy alot. I was doing some research around Radersburg Montana and found out that the claim Carol Ann 1 was abandoned not to long ago, it borders the Hopeless claim and I think it was 40 acres. I was actually thinking about claiming it but thought the GPAA might benefit from it more than I would. I just thought I would let you know so you could add some more land to the Hopeless claim. Have a nice day. Best regards Tom Allen

Hi Kevin, i am new to the GPAA group and was wondering if you might have any contacts with folks around the Virginia City, MT area. My sister and i are going to take a trip over that way in late September and i see that there are not any GPAA claims there. I am also going tomtry and get ahold of the BLM over there next week and see if there are open places to do that. We are just beginners but want to find something if even just one flake...lol. Thanks for your time, V. Fry
