Terry Soloman Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 You will need to join a club to prospect in the locations you mentioned. The Club with claims in both is the RoadRunners out of Phoenix.

goldnewbie Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 Hahaha i moved from michigan 2 years ago cold weather is non relevant 36 is beautiful working weather. But is sounds like the entire area is claimed and something about joining a club rubs me the wrong way but if that is the only way then i guess i will have to check into roadrunners.Where im working now looks to be claimed until you check into the status and most have lapsed.

Guest bedrock bob Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Sounds pretty cold. Mom and dad back in michigan are getting ready for 15 inches. Off topic on topic what ever i just like the comradery.Yeah, I like the conversation too. I am in New Mexico, and have a foot of powder on the ground. So cold the breeze in the morning kicks it all up and it snows again for two hours but there are no clouds in the sky. The ruts and drifts from the day before disappear each morning about 7:00 and it looks "new" again! It is so dry that you cant pack it, and so cold that it is crystalline flakes like diamonds in the air. When you breathe it in it tickles your throat.Join a club. You will learn from others much faster than you will figure it out by yourself. Soon you will get a buddy to take you under the wing and show you a few tricks. Good luck man!Bedrock Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagdoctor1 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Do not look down on club claims. There is gold to be had. If I had half of the gold I've seen come out of club claims in the past 1.5 years I'd be pretty happy. It's nice to KNOW you are on legal ground also and the friendly folks make it even more fun.
