I'm in the prospecting boat myself.
I've been great at rockhounding! Yet I just left the area where I had access to gold claims.
Cheers to some incoming discoveries.
 

For myself , I'm in the rocking chair mode and not able to get out and do much anymore for at least 8 years now BUT we all NEVER stop being a prospector and keep looking for "that spot " and then when we do find "that spot " we mine the heck out of it while still looking for another "that spot" ! I sure wish I could be out there mining "that spot "! :coffee2:

Well I think we are all in the arm chair mode when on the internet as apposed to digging up material to mine out in the field.

I have seen someone in a wheel chair at a good spot before with a helper.
 

ive been doing this for over 10 years.and iam still just prospecting. i have yet to find a place that i cant wait to get back to. are you guys mining or prospecting? great weather near randsburg yesterday,ever little gold.
Hi 1637 are you still Prospecting ?
 

I found "the spot" and had a hole dug 6' deep and just enough room to work with a shovel. I was finding lots of flour gold and pickers on every trip out. The last time I was there I saw no less then 6 men in the hole that is now big enough to park a car in.
I go to the gold field for solitude and to enjoy nature , not to jump in a hole with 6 other dudes. this is on property owned by a club, so they have a right to be there too ,but it sucks they didn't have to put in the time it took to find "the spot"
 

yes ,1 or 2 times a month near randsburg.
Sounds good. I have a Claim in SoCal Section 2 its about a 1 hour drive from Tujunga to my Claim if you would be interested in hooking up and doing some poking around feel free to drop me a message and we can go from there. Thank you regards Craig.
