Started by sdreaume@gmail.com
Already lost the rainbow now it looks like the Eagle Eye, This is from the minutes in the local club. brought up that He, along with & AAAA have a lease agreement with the GPAA on the Eagle Eye. They are not expecting to renew the lease and the three of them would like to give the club members exclusive rights to the 80-acre claim. The claim is on both sides of the road. Estes Creek runs thru it. I removed the names of the people for their privacy. What is going on, why a we...

Upcoming Bautista Meet up Questions 3789 1
Started by srandall@hughes.net
I'm new to GPAA even though I've been off and on gold panning Central CA for about 20 years. I signed up for the Bautista Claim meet up on 18-19 October because I've never searched for gold in anyplace that wasn't a creek or river. I own 2 sluices (and a highbanker set-up), pans, and 2 metal detectors. But I don't know what to use in Bautista as I see it's a dry, desert like area and I don't own or have ever used a dry washer. I'm eager to learn during the 2 day event, but kind of prospectin...

Claim Access 2811 0
Started by pacmet1@gmail.com
Hi, I am pursuing a problem that my partners and I have encountered concerning access to our claim. First, is it legal to be denied access to a current, viable, legal claim with BLM by a private property owner From my understanding you can not be landlocked. This claim is in the Libby Montana area. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Don Vedder

OHIO gold 4454 1
Started by Usnavy7738@gmail.com
Found this in Richland County and am a bit curious. I am new to prospecting, past 6-8 months. Being in Ohio, obviously not much more then specs and flour gold. But this caught my eye. It was very dirty and there what looks like different types of metals possibly. It is not solid quartz as the photos may depict, more of a hard ' blue cheese' mineral. But under my kids microscope (don't judge) it certainly has a compelling argument I guess. Any help please

US Claim Map 8628 6
Started by gt2c@yahoo.com
Is there a map of the United States with all the claims on it (like the LDMA has) It'd be great if it was like the old push pin style. It doesn't have to be super tight resolution - we have the claims directory on the website to zoom in with. I will be retiring in a few years and I want to retire to a place that has claims in close proximity. Such a map might also be useful to other members that have to plan travel from afar for their trips. Thanks, gt

metal detectors 14467 14
Started by Sergio Ramirez
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...

I liked the Three Fault Claim, but never found any gold there. There were several write ups about this claim, first it was shown as Three Fault, then 3 Fault 1 & 2. Now it seems it's no longer an active GPAA claim. Is it gone for good John Curtis 2935546

Dumb Luck 4815 1
Started by frgeon@yahoo.com
Kevin/Gpaa, There seems to be some discrepancy on the location of this claim in Maricopa County Az. There are multiple locations listed in the 'Getting there' comments for the online guide. There is also no sinage/corner markers for either location in the ground. Can you verify the actual plot this claim is on Thank you in advance! Jon

Kevin, today I received the new magazine Nov/Dec 22. when I opened it I always look for your WTG (where's the gold) article. That is my favorite bar none. I read it and looked it over closely and I just have to say...'GREAT INFORMATION' you obviously spent more time on this with the green and white areas and your break down is eye opening. Man you just nail it each time on WTG but I got a lot out of this and just wanted to say thank you. Good stuff. then I turned the pages and I read your A...

New Garret Axiom Ultra PI detector shake down 3609 3
Started by tgwdh@yahoo.com
Kevin, As the subject matter expert that some of us turn to for the occasional shake down of detectors, have you penciled in a test for the new Garret Axiom PI detector We would like to see how this performs and possibly how it stacks up against the GPX6000 and GPZ7000. I can see already that it is $2k less than the GPX6000 and I heard that in their design phase they were putting more emphasis on a better discrimination system that would ignore hot rocks better than the Minelabs. Thank yo...

Central Alaska Claim Mapping Issue 3979 3
Started by benbelfiglio@yahoo.com
I went through and mapped the north section of the claims coordinate by coordinate but for some reason the claim coordinates and claim boundaries in the GPAA Mining Guide do not match the current claims. If we could get an actual list of individual claims the property encompasses it would make mapping a lot easier, Alaska has pretty good online tools where claims are already mapped out for you, you just need the claim number. The OMRC Serial number listed does not match to any BLM or State clai...

I love that method of using excel and then doing a project in GE online, the 3D really makes a difference! I think you should post and pin the link for the youtube video on how to do it, bet others will love it as well... Maybe in claims area or something. Anyway, thank you so very much for that, excellent. Jim
