From the Bitterroot here, down close to Hamilton. Just getting my feet wet in this area, and sadly dont really have any decent equipment yet, just some cheap detectors. But there is a lot to look for, I have a old 1890's map of gold claims, which if my body will allow i hope to do some exploring this spring.
Hoping to find a nice little area that has some good results in nugget hunting, as well as look around for old pieces and coins.

Things are thawing here in Bozeman but still too frozen and too much snow to dig. Don't want to get my hopes up cause I know winter isn't over till April at least.

As Jimmy Buffett sings "So g-- damned cold it's going to snow until June."

Ronan here. Heart of the Mission Valley. In the middle of the Flathead Reservation. Not much allowed for a non-tribal member on the rez though. Looking for areas to prospect for gold in the vicinity. Also wondering how to find out if an area also has a claim on it. Did a bit of prospecting during college on the N. Fork of the American River in the Colfax area, and found just enough gold to make me realize I would make more money flipping burgers at McDonalds than mining gold, unless I got lucky. However, am looking to get back into it as a hobby that gives a little back instead of being a money hole.

Howdy. We are into prospecting here in SW Montana also and so far we haven't found much. I have a gps with a chip that shows every thing like private property, BLM land, Tribal land and forest service land but not mining claims.
I also wish there was a better way to see if there is mining claims on the land.

Find the location of your local BLM office. Also search out local prospecting clubs for assistance.
