Thank you for the info you posted on the Vulture Bait claim, very helpful. I'll be driving from Washington state in February 2018 and will be metal detecting Vulture Bait and camping on the claim. My question is; is the claim on BLM land or is it trust land or both

2017 outings 23508 21
Started by michaeljudd57@gmail.com
Why is it so damn hard to find a schedule for the outings at LDMA camps Even internet search brings up NOTHING.
Why have an outings page, or events page if the damn thing never gets posted. With all the GPAA and LDMA staff, things like this should get posted. NO EXCUSE.
Even on the LDMA facebook page, no mention of the outing. Nothing in the LDMA page on here. Really getting fed up.

Whereas I really love the new Digital Claim listing/search...

Gold Monster 1000 3216 0
Started by chris@northpines.us
Hi Kevin, I read your article about field testing the new Gold Monster. Great review. I have a couple of questions for you.
1. You mentioned you didn't care for the headphone the come wit h the unit. What head phone would you recommend
2. You also mentioned the Minelab Pro Sonic Wireless rig. At $269.00 that's a little steep. I did some looking and saw the Deteknix W3 Pro that has a 3.5 mm plug. At $150.00 that seems like a steal. Do you know if this unit would be compatible with ...

Possibilty of a MD/prospecting form 6723 5
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
As per a thread in Relic Hunting, the subject of a form for property owners and users for permission. Would have to include some kind of liability waiver for the owner, as well as giving permission to MD or prospect/sample. Would not have to have GPAA/LDMA on it anywhere.
Just a thought to persue.

Getting maps of claims 6938 2
Started by plumberkris@gmail.com
So is there any where or way to get ahold of claim boundaries in areas where one would want to stake a claim. I've checked out the blm 2000 thing and can find the claims in the section and the corners of that section. So from there how does one know where the claims are so they don't stake on top or over lap another. Lots of places I've been I haven't seen or been able to find claim markers. Thanks Kris
