Claims needed for Alabama and Tennessee 4776 2
Started by webb116054@gmail.com
Why is there no claims for the state of Tennessee Tennessee has ample gold and old hold mines! Why has no one found a gold claim/lease on this state There used to be several good gpaa leases in Tennessee. What happened to those claims Why are there only 3 claims in the state of Alabama With all the old 1800’s gold mines located in Alabama, there ought to be lands everywhere available for lease! With all the people out of work because of covid, now should be a good time to ask landowners ...

Hello, I'm a newish member and I've been trying to find out what the minimum distance one needs to be from others when working on the same claim. I don't want to impede on someone else's area. I looked in the mining guide and have been searching the forum to no avail. please advise. Thank you1

Goldbug 2 2437 2
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
I was intrigued by the article you wrote about setting the sensitivity on the GB2, I'm a big fan of the GB2 and plan on trying it in a few weeks. But have a couple of questions. I like using the Audio Boost when I can or would that effect the sensitivity to much I also run my volume at max and adjust my volume on my headphones, maybe I misunderstood your instructions, do you set and leave your volume at 7 I also try and run in low mineralization but usually end up in the normal settings and m...

General area maps 2934 5
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
This from a thread elsewhere here. A suggestion of a national map giving a general location of claims and areas. Or even state by state would be a great addition. Could be linked to the state pages in the property page in the on-line guide, or a section in the members only page area. Would help members when planning a trip, as to what's in the area they're headed to, instead of sifting through the guide, be it on-line or hard copy.

Three Fault 3015 5
Started by geroldpersonett@gmail.com
Weather permitting, the first week of January I'm going to give the Three Fault claim a good working over. I'll be using a Goldbug 2, 6.5' coil, I'm going to be camping on the claim and spend four days there. I've read all the reports posted and just wanted to know if you or anyone had any more information to add. I can use my 10'coil if needed to get a little bit more depth but I'm hoping there is the real small gold there too that the Goldbug with the 6.5' coil can find. Looking at google maps...

GPAA to build a .kml file of all claims for Google Earth? 3133 2
Started by stcroix_man2002@yahoo.com
Has the GPAA management thought of creating a .kml overlay file for google Earth we could all download so that we wouldn't have to manually put in all the claim coordinates ourselves for areas we are interested in This would save much time and make finding remote claims easier, as well as being sure to be prospecting on the actual claim itself... as you know, the signage for many claims (not just GPAA) is often missing.. I have not built a .kml file myself but I don't believe it is very compli...

Pod Casts 1803 0
Started by cpomike13@gmail.com
love the pod casts. I look forward to every one. They started out weekly, then about the end of March it went to every 2 weeks, then monthly, now we haven't heard a new cast since July 4th. You do alot for us prospectors, so I'm not complaining as much as I'm suggesting maybe getting some staff (gpaa) or state directors, or just other prospectors do some of the casts, so we the listeners get more content. Hearing from 'ol timers' is what we need.

How to find groups 2521 3
Started by senselessdestruction@gmail.com
Is there a forum for get togethers I want to find people who know the areas better than me. I want to also meet new people who i can learn from. I am learning the geology of gold and how to read areas but someone who knows the better places to use the goldbug 2 vs sluicing and whatnot would be beneficial at this stage of my prospecting adventures. I live in maricopa but there isnt squat to legally prospect here so im willing/forced to travel.

Maybe i've lost my 55 year old mind but i'll ask anyway. Is the login 'remember me' broken or am i doing something wrong. Having to log in every time is a pain. I've been a programmer and robotics engineer for over 30 years and do much web work for the medical industry. I would be happy to help your web coder if they would like, in exchange for a cup of coffee. I'm also only 25 miles north of the Temecula office. Just asking/offering. Doug
