Hi all

[chenty]

Hi all, Newbe here I'm looking to take my 11 yr. son out for something new. I have been to SG canyon east fork sometime ago by myself hooked up with a few guys and did some digging, had a blast, it was hard work but fun, anyway I'm looking to see if anyone has a son or 2 that we can hook up with and show us the ropes?? We live in Ventura Ca. I know we either have to go to Kern or the east fork, these are the only 2 places that I know of for now. I am hoping to find some kind of club/group to get into so we can spend some wk. ends digging with out getting into any trouble.

Thanks

Welcome Chenty!

There is a poster on here from Temecula that has outings to the East Fork. All ages invited to the meet-up. I cannot locate his posts right now; but he is connected with aptsgold.com. Might want to check them out.

Welcome to the forum, and welcome to a fine place where you'll find lots of helpful people. I had lots of fun, still do, taking my boys out prospecting--it's a great thing to do together.

All the best,

Lanny

Hi Chenty and welcome,
Temecula Ca is to home of the GPAA. I would find a local chapter or other club to check it out. GPAA clubs will allow you to tag along with out joining as a guest but they do have some rules for guests to follow. Ask them about it. Explain what you are looking to do and they will help. You will want to join though as they have alot of claims. Buy a Gold Prospector mag and in it will be all the chapters listed. Get ahold of one near you and they will help you.

Good Luck!
