vein mountain ldma camp winter closing 8254 5
Started by rcarr4803@yahoo.com
Hello Kevin, I called ldma office to confirm that they are closing the vein mountain for the winter. Was sorry to hear. We was there about four years ago in Feb and March and have been unable to get back due to sickness. Finally sold our business and was planning on going down this winter. Was wondering what the reason behind it is and if it is going to be temporary. They said it was due to not many using during the winter months and couldn't see paying a caretaker for just two or three people. ...

Does anyone have any info regarding on how to acquire a mining permit to mind at the Golden Eagle on Merced River in Mariposa County, CA. I called the Mariposa Ranger District listed in the GPAA mining guide and they told me to call BLM Motherlode Office but could not get a straight answer as to how to acquire a permit. Much appreciated for future info, thank you.

On my uncles ranch down here in Kearny AZ he has a couple of old patented mines.

South Carolina RIvers and Dredging? 32710 9

Just wondering who to contact regarding small 4 inch or less dredging in the main rivers of South Carolina and how to go about doing so legally. The main rivers I am wanting to know about are the Broad, Saluda, Little Saluda, And Tiger, ok and any other rivers for that matter. If the river travels thru private property on both sides, is it legal to prospecting in the river itself without permission (what some people call no mans land : 3 feet from the banks).

Kevin...What's up with the PLP Resignations...Hostile take over...Frozen bank account...FBI involved...Fraud accusations
And all at a critical time when the 1872 Mining Act is being trashed...Ca. court cases being rigged by environmental extremists...And your rights are being lost...
This is bad, get it fixed ASAP. We need to fight the un-American anti mining extremists...Not each other...WTF...Over.

My small blue Gold pan is famous because Kevin Hoagland borrowed it at the Pomona Gold show...After he returned it he poured Gold in the Gold panning stations for everyone...Right on Kevin.
I have an idea Kevin. Next time you're near Pomona, I'd like to see a Gold Trails episode filmed at the San Gabriel Mountains East Fork River. Specifically about 3 miles up river to an area called 'Swan Rock'. The Allison Mine above has always been a good Gold area.

Hi Kevin, watched the Gold Trails Season 2, episode 8 video again recently posted on You Tube. This first was shown about six months ago on Gold Trails. It's in Plumas County near La Porte, CA. You planted a marker and indicated you were filing a claim to be called Gold Trails 2. I spend a lot of time prospecting in Plumas County and am excited to see another claim. I still have not seen anything in the Pick & Shovel and am wondering what the status is of this c...

Research 9398 12
Started by tpleibel@gmail.com
So I have gotten pretty good with the LR2000 website. But if are not local, how do you find books on the history of an area. Looking at a closed claim on google earth, does not really tell me it ever really produced gold. I find my self driving on the highway and seeing layers in the cuts and wonder if there was ever mining in that area. Would love to get some guidance on how to start research on an area.

Hello Kevin,
While in Quartzsite, the wife and I went to their little gold show (very small affair). Anyway , while looking through the offerings I noticed that one of the vendors ( Miners Depot, I believe) had a miniature Keene 190 series dry washer. Have you seen this and more importantly - any experience with it I have looked online to find what I could...no luck!
I did email Pat over at Keene as I had his email address. I had been in touch with him previously with a couple questions on th...
