Grand County Colorado, Kaufman Creek 6099 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.

Georgia Gold 12072 6
Started by michaeljudd57@gmail.com
Spent 2 1/2 weeks in Georgia. Was not impressed with Loud Mine. We dredged for 3 days and then ran 75 buckets of material hauled from across the creek and combined only got about 30 colors. Trying to get any info from caretaker was like pulling teeth. Was told we could set up the hi-banker anywhere, only to be told after an hour running could not be set up where we were, but could set up 15 feet from there. The material from the pile was a joke, all topsoil.
We spent the next week a...

Slo-Able 1 8413 2
Started by MICHAEL BUCKMAN
I just recently went to scout the one and only claim in San Luis Obisbo county. Its calle 'Slo-Able 1.'
I wanted to see how camping would be and if there was running water on the claim this time of year and to take a couple of test pans to see if there might be some decent gold to be found.
I made it to the Navajo Flat campground as it speaks about in the book, but then things got strange. The directions in the book said that the claim was 1/2 mile farther, but it wasn't clear if it was talki...

Flood Layers 6748 0
Started by eddy2u2@yahoo.com
I found this on a trip to Lake Mohave, AZ and thought it was interesting to see the flood layers. It was about 6-7 feet high and it had exposed bedrock in the bottom of the channel. I also got the metal detecting bug on this trip after using a Minelab Eureka, so I'm already looking to purchase one.

First time out with MXT 6326 0
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
We bought a MXT detector back in 2009, and I had maybe an hour on it in prospecting mode in eastern Oregon. Had not been used since. Dug it out last summer and got it cleaned up (batteries were still in it). Joined a local MD club last week and they had a hunt yesterday. Got some tips on setup from the club pres., and away I went. He checked on me after awhile and after about 3 hours I had to call it quits. Found two reproduction buttons from the civil war re-...

Started by ngarza78727@yahoo.com
I put together a group trip for our local GPAA chapter with a local gold guide to prospect and detect some claims around the Stanton/Rich Hill area of Arizona. A dozen of us from Texas caravanned to the town of Wickenburg where we stayed at the Best Western as well as other local hotels or campgrounds for a week of detecting/prospecting in the area of Rich Hill. We were armed with metal detectors aplenty as well as a few Gold Cubes and other mini-highbanker recirculators. The majority of folks b...

Quartzville, Oregon 8229 1
Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
On the 13 of Sept. we had an impromptu outing on fairly short notice (sent it out on Tuesday and it was on Sunday. Had 14 people show up and poked around on the creek bottom that is usually under about 70 feet of water and has not seen the light of day for probably close to 50 years. Figured it would be pretty good with old material that has not been worked over for so long, even though nothing new would have gotten that far down in the normal slack water of the lake.

Started by waugh1198@gmail.com
The Brownville Oregon chapter hit all 3 of the claims on Sunday, June 7th for a clean up and to re-sign them. One had signs on it for about 2/3rds of it, the other 2 were not signed at all and had not been for quite awhile. We had 12 members up there to take care of it, and also to do a clean up of the well used camp areas and fire rings. Got an awning frame work and about 4 bags of other trash from them, but is still early in the year. I did a little sampling on the west...

Started by grumpsmcm@gmail.com
Went up to Nugget Trap 2 last week end to check it out. Nice area sadly has been burned by forest fire.
Looked for claim markers but their wasn't any to be found, was approached by someone who said we were on their clubs claim
but GPS said otherwise. I guess the importance of markers was revealed.
