Hello Prospectors and Miners 37428 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...

Up to date claims map maricopa county 406 6
Started by Jmartin@harborcoastplumbing.com
Hi , I have contacted the BLM Phoenix and hassyaneda office but no luck. I am looking for up to date maps showing active claims. I am probably dreaming but would like to see if there is any ground available in the San Domingo wash area other than the the gpaa claim. Also I have scoured the area and some of the claims are marked shotty at best with Downed markers probably from our monsoon season. It would be nice to have a larger map showing active 2021 claims in the maricopa county Az area as to...

Non members camping on claim/ no markers on migg1-4 608 6
Started by tisbrew@hotmail.com
Today I went to the Migg1-4 near Rochford SD. I couldn't even pull in to the parking area. there were out of state 6 big (I mean big) 5th wheelers trucks taking up the the area. All out of state and not GPAA. Now as far I know National forest rules allow camping for a few days on public which technically this is. The gentleman I spoke with stated a GPAA member told them they couldn't camp there due to it being a claim. I myself lean toward the national forest rules. Anyway just asking on...

Lucky Linda again north entrance 694 5
Started by jim.penn@ymail.com
Hello Kevin I decided to go check out Lucky Linda again claim today from the north entrance going past the so called chicken coop. I drove the half mile south and found that the gate Has been permanently removed and fence post and bobwire is in its place blocking access. This appears to have just been done in the last day or two evident of tire tracks and foot prints. Just wanted to give a heads up and something that you may be interested in investigating.

Hi Kevin, Thank you SO MUCH for everything you do! I wanted to bring to your attention that the property locations pages are not secure. You can view them with a link even if you are not logged in. I don't know if Google searches will reveal these pages, but if someone posts a link, anyone can follow it. Thank you again! Usarian

Kevin, I am a GPAA life member and went to the only property that was associated with the organization in South Carolina which is a LDMA property.

Caretaker was somewhat very helpful in answering the questions I had but I still left there confused and with more questions. I asked what a GPAA person could bring of theirs such as a dredge, high banker, sluice, etc. to use if allowed. Person could not give a definite answe...

metal detectors 657 13
Started by sergprinting@sbcglobal.net
Hi Kevin, or anyone that knows about metal detectors, was thinking of getting one, but which, there are so many types. I just started crevicing past months and been doing good with what I have, using my probe & what I learned from Gary'two-toes', figuring which crevice to work. Thinking a metal detector would help to work the bedrock crevices & gravel beds, any suggestions as to which I should probably get, budget around $1,500.oo or so, would spend more if worth it. Is the one they give away...

LDMA Claim, Leadville, CO 7619 10
Started by fritzj8@yahoo.com
I am trying to find someone who has visited the LDMA Claim in Leadville, CO. I am considering upgrading to an LDMA membership, and this is the only claim I would be able to use. I don't want to waist thousands of dollars on an LDMA membership if the claim is not any good. GPAA told me there are no hosts there, which might say a lot about the claim. I appreciate anything you can tell me. Thanks,

Great supplement. Hopeful the LR2000 replacement article has more information coming in the next update regarding the 'help' not found in the MLRS software by me. Is it possible to get a better source for items like 'how to search by GPS coordinates' I have no idea where that info might be on the GOV site.

Started by stcroix_man2002@yahoo.com
Heya Kevin.. Prospector Dean here from MN. As I have time I am adding the GPS coordinates for the GPAA claim corners into Google Earth as an overlay, in the areas where I prospect. You recently had an article on this. The GPAA book has the claim corners for each claim, but I don't see them here online in the individual property descriptions, only the ingress and center of claim coordinates. Am I missing something, or are the corners purposely left out here in the properties section Also ...

Kevin, et al New member here, liking the community already and to that point wanting to make an observation. After spending half a day reading property reviews, I was aware that there's not enough photo documentation to the actual trouble spots of the roads. Gates were another topic along with signage. I know signs can attract as many people as they repel and gates are revenue intensive. The point being, I would like to volunteer some of my time along with what little ability I may hav...
