In Search of... Samurai Gold 16645 3
Started by MtnPipr
Hi All,
I will be in Japan for visiting family, and thought I might drag along a small test pan and some other small tools to try and find some Samurai Gold. Anyone ever gone there and prospected/panned at all
Interested in any tips someone can provide - am doing some basic websearch, too, but thought I would see what our members have experienced.
To the extent I go and do anything there in this regard, I will post with pictures (if I can figure out how to add pics to a post) when I re...

Garbage on claims 7999 4
Started by blackchipjim
Hello all, I was recently near one of our claims in Arizona and was a little taken back by the amount of trash that was around. I don't believe it was any of our members trash. I could have filled a garbage truck if I had one. It was sad to see that amount in a wilderness area. What surprised me the most wasn't just one area. Anyone else encounter large amounts of garbage.

San Gabriel Mtn's, east fork river Gold camping trip 11470 10
Started by Stumbletown Miner
Hi everybody,
For Labor Day Weekend, we headed to the San Gabriel Mountains in the Southern California area. The east fork river has been a hot spot for Gold since mining was invented. This rich Gold area should be a monument to Gold Miners
Our trip was crazy, no parking, I couldn't go where I wanted to go. There were cars parked all the way down the road, so we ended up at 'nugget alley' if you're familiar with the area. There had to be 200 campers there, ...

Started by freddieb
I will be headed up to Whitestown Indiana this Sunday for work that week and will have some free time in the afternoons (after 5pm) and was hoping to be able to get into some creeks to do some sluicing /panning. If anyone is in the area or knows of the area and can point me in the right direction it would be great. Just wanting to do a little digging to relax from a busy day of work.

Ran with a buddy to test out my put together 2 1/2 inch dredge. it ran like a champ no real adjusting to do. The homemade flare box (yes with a traffic cone) and upper classifier section that I built worked great for its first outing. Hope you all like it. any comments or modification ideas welcome.

Hi everyone,
If you're looking for a fun Gold camping adventure in the Northern California Sonora & Columbia area, then Italian Bar is the spot. The public 'Stumbletown' camping area is only minutes from the LDMA camp. It was hot when we got there, 102* at 2:00 am. But the next day was 84*, really nice. We stayed a week, and found some good Gold, good BBQ, and just relaxed in the cool river. Here's a few pics...

Grand County Colorado, Kaufman Creek 4533 0
Started by hooahextreme@gmail.com
I used my Bazooka Gold Trap in Kaufman Creek. I dug one hole along the bank down to a blue clay layer. I only ran about 6 quarter full buckets of unclassified material. I got fine gold and a bunch of black sand. It was a fair rate of recovery for only a short time in an area where I have never prospected and had very little knowledge. It is a beautiful place too with some good dispersed camping.
