wow just back from trip.had 4 days at the gold camp. what a great place to learn about gold finding. the ALABAMA GOLD CAMP.i guess this place is relatively new.i was in florida finishing up my vaca.while surfing treasure sites i heard about.hmm if i was to go home the eastern way i could go by there.this an obscure location in rural eastern alabama.i had tried the georgia gold locations last spring.went to crissin mine and gold and gem grubbin.both have ore for sale.pay to pan. i learned to pan there and bought a hand sluice.but it isnt real prospecting.at agc u can search anywhere on the entire 96 acres.like many i have wanted to find gold.if u live in the midwest mostly a dream.sooo ez to pick up a book.hmmm california. yeah its out there.even colorado...still over 1000 miles. where can i go.ok georgia does have some and nc. gas costing what it does hmmm.also most s east gold is private landhmmm.do i really want to join a club that i can only go to once or twice a year.i had also heard from others claims from clubs can be hard to find and poorly marked.hmmm.land changes hands or guides not properly updated.I AM NOT A PAID AD FOR THIS PLACE BUT....this place solves all these problems.is in stix but all paved roads.findable.u pay 5 bux to get in.affordable.knowledgeable miners on site to answer all questions.got yer own hand equipment? the 5 bux entry iz all u pay.affordable smal extra fee per day to run your owned power eqpt.fully equipped miner store with fair prices.rental of sluice box,highbanker and even dredges.HEAVEN.!!!!
i had panned and sluiced before. i was anxious to try running power equipment.i rented a highbanker for 30 for 1/2 day.another 2 guys from tn were at the machine next to mine.we were feeding the machines from a big pile brought up by heavy equipt from the riverbed.dont like that ore? dig ur own from anywhere on the prop.this prop had like 16 mines on it in the old days.the gold is small but some almost evrywhere.during a break for a kick i even panned a little gravel from the parking lot.unbelieveable a tiny flake of GOLD.!! i was trying to keep up with the tn. boys.thought i did pretty good.however i overlooked the fact that while one was shoveling the other was carefully tending the GRIZZLY ,washing each large rock and checking the riffles for obstructions.when cleanup was done they had more gold.until i realized there are 2 of them they split it.then i felt better.next time i will go slower.and not overload the riffles.I WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE GOLD I FOUND.not a lot but gold.very sore also.if u r a outashape fat man like me,u will be.must go now.day 2 in another post.
