Hello Wayne! I would advise you to check out the local prospecting clubs like the RoadRunner's http://www.roadrunnergold.com These clubs offer you thousands of acres of claims to poke around on, all over the state. In Tucson, it's the Desert Gold Diggers http://www.desert-gold-diggers.org and out at Rich Hill, near Congress - where my company operates, you can join either the Weaver Mining District, or the Y Not club:

I've never heard to the "Y Not" prospectors club. How long have they been in operation and what kind of claims do they have?

Many years Steve ($35-annually), and they have some GREAT claims! I have pulled a lot of gold from the washes below Weaver and Rich Hills thanks to my membership in the club over the years. Call Tom and Maggie up, and go out and see them. Tell them Terry Soloman "Member 357," sent ya!

After the first week of June, these days I am either on the beach at Southampton, Long Island, in New York, or somewhere in Alaska running from bears and swatting at the state bird. My professionals in Arizona do some moonlight and early-morning prospecting though. You just need a good revolver, snake guards and a speaker system. Cheers! - Terry

You can use external speakers instead of headphones when detecting. Easier to hear rattlesnakes.

Time for gold nuggets? Wayne, Arizona gold nuggets are almost ninja-like in their ability to defy detection. :ph34r2: They require you to be trail-toughened, Cat-claw scratched and cactus pierced. :whaaaa: But, when you do sidestep the scorpion to avoid the rattlesnake perched precariously on the side of a desert wash while homing in on the sound of one, and then dig it out of Mother Earth – you’ll be a very proud Arizona Gold Prospector! :whoope: Dirty, dusty, scratched up and most likely bleeding, but Proud! - Terry
