Alluvial Fan tips...? 12686 14
Started by duluthian25.zapp@gmail.com
It seems like the majority of available claims are of the alluvial fan types. Does anybody have any prospecting tips for these particular areas It is not like there are geological markers that are easier to follow.
I am getting tired of prospecting and finding nothing but sand and sweat in these areas. I am just curious if anybody out here has any tips that might help me be a little better with my prospecting. I am not afraid of doing the labor involved to get that gold...

DIY Bazooka gold trap stand.. 10823 2
Started by mparramore1969@aol.com
In the past I have had issues with setting up the Bazooka in the river. I thought there has to be an easier way. I looked online and figured that I would make a stand myself. I could drive the stakes into the river, adjust the height and angle if needed. The bungee cords hold down the Bazooka and it wont float off. I think I went over board with the wire and drilling the screws and sliding lock pieces. At least I wont lose the parts to the river. I am open to new ideas. You can use my ideas and ...

New use for Gold for joints, drill bits and armour plating ! 8486 2
Started by robertj.scarborough@comcast.net
Can the uses of Gold get any better than making new jewelry trinkets or used as
a corrosion resistant plating for circuit boards or as a infrared radiation heat shield on astronaut helmets
Rice University has discovered a new alloy made of Gold and Titanium that is
4X stronger than most steel alloys.
The researchers say the alloy sample pretty much destroyed a diamond pestle and mortar used to crush the sample for
testing in a spectrum analyzer.
The addition of Gold to Titanium makes an...

Started by motherlodeprospecting@outlook.com
here is one of the best websites for land status info and research. Make sure to turn on the overlays until your zoomed in on an area. It slows the map loading other wise. Claim info is updated twice a month. if you are aware of the 'footprints' software this site is owned by the same person.
Learn to use the info button and more info is at your fingertips on one site than many others combined.

New LDMA General Forum 11288 3
Started by ed@braggfamily.com
I would like to propose a new general LDMA Members Update Forum that all the LDMA members and caretakers that can post updates for camp phone, address, rules, events, discuss issues, etc. Another idea is a menu option for LDMA members to at least be able to view the LDMA camp current information. I know there are individual forums for each camp, but I think a general LDMA Forum for discussing LDMA properties, events, or issues would be beneficial to all.

What's With That Name ? 9522 1
Started by rockkingron@gmail.com
Something that is often overlooked is the names on maps and how they can help the prospector to locate likely areas to hunt. A good example of this is the colorful and strange names the 49ers gave to towns, ravines, creeks, streams, hills, and mountains where they hunted for gold. Also some of these place names have been renamed several times over the years.
One area that I hunted, I had with me an old 1890s map, a 1950s 15-min. topo map,...

Folding Sluice Box Classifier 19572 21
Started by thechargerdude@aol.com
Hi everybody,
I made a cheap inexpensive classifier for a folding sluice box. It's made from a $3 IKEA strainer and a Dollar Store strainer with Home Depot plexi-glass, and Epoxy.
The main reason I did this is because the folding sluice box's load up with 1/2' rocks and they stay loaded up. So 1/4' or smaller is best. My classifier is in the water so it rinses all the rocks and materials. The first grate (Grizzly) puts the bigger rocks in t...

Gold mining bucket tip 29505 26
Started by thechargerdude@aol.com
If you've carried a bucket full of Gold mining tools very far, like four miles up a river, then you'll like this bucket tip. A snappy grip & a closet rod bracket bolted onto the bucket to carry the Gold pan & a classifier. And in the bucket are the usual tools...small blue pan, rock hammer, crevice tool, scooper, paint brush, black sand magnet, sucker bottle, pouch with viles & tweezers, etc..

USFS Roads 15016 7
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
If you are using USFS roads, go to any office of the National Forest you are in and get a copy of the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM). These are free, so no excuse to not have them in the rig, and for each Forest you visit. This will show the road system that is open for motorized travel.
It is up to the user to know where they are and if the route they are on is open for use. They are not required to post routes as open, as the policy now is 'closed unless posted opn', ...
