    I would think that if there was an actual gold mine on a claim, more people would have talked about it.  

    Did we wander off of the Lost Dredge claim?  

    We found the actual mine that fed the old trommel that I shared in the last video.  Does anyone know if this mine is actaully on our Lost Dredge claim or did we wander off too far?

     

    We did not prospect here because we weren't not sure if it belonged to someone else, but if it is on Lost Dredge it might be "game on" for next weekend.  ;-)

     

    I really need a handheld gps.

    If you have the GPS cords. you can overlay it with gurgle earth that you can also lay out the claim.
    In the mining guide topo, the SpreadEagle mine is in the south east corner or very close to it.
    I do know the road that heads off that direction comes back around to the large camp spot on the creek.

    I would suggest doing the home work before the 'game'.
    How about chapter members, they have any intel ?

    Does anyone have the list of boundry coords for Lost Dredge? I think I found the coords for that spread eagle mine, I'd like to compare.

         Richard, do you have the Caldor 7.5 Topo map? If so all you need now is a 7.5 Topo map ruler and you can get all 4 corner coordinates from the comfort of home. To save some money on maps in California, order them direct from the B.L.M., their phone # is 916-978-4400. For the map ruler go to www.MapTools.com and the ruler comes with instructions.

         This is a quote from my G.P.S. manual, " NOTE: You should always be prepared and capable of navigating without the eTrex. It is designed to augment other forms of basic navigation, not entirely replace then." So in other words a map, compass and altimeter are still necessary tools.

         One dose not have to be an expert, a basic understanding can come in handy if and when needed. This is the best help I can give at this time, without having the Caldor map.        Ron
