chrisski 613 Posted July 19, 2017 I joined the GPAA online and before I received my GPAA card, I printed a copy of the online receipt and brought that with me. You're supposed to have the card, but I felt in good conscience I was following the intent by prospecting as a paid member with receipt in hand in lieu of the GPAA card. I would have felt no guilt showing that to someone asking for my claim card, and I'm pretty sure they'd have no problem with me being there. I wouldn't mind someone using am electronic receipt if I asked him for the card. I found some good maps of the Gold Basin GPAA claims on line. The area I went to was beat up pretty well, but the area was huge. I went to the harder to get to claim in my 4 X 4, but the easier to get to one I probably could have driven my mini van to.

tomleft 5 Posted July 21, 2017 what actually is the gold basin? im a gpaa member too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azdigger 1,354 Posted July 21, 2017 Gold Basin is a location close to Dolan Springs AZ , there are several claims belonging to the Gpaa there. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisski 613 Posted July 21, 2017 I really think they've made some improvements. The online claim guide will be nice once it's up and running. There's a geo coord (not corners) for each claim in the online database. It can be referenced with the guide. It's nice to put in a zip code and see what claims are by where you're going. If you go to http://www.goldprospectors.org/ and complete the registration, you'll get access to this online site. The online site can't be used alone, but is a good supplement to the mining guide. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If GB is your main reason to join, and it's a good one..... then may I suggest that you also look into Mohave Prospectors Association and GSSN out of Nevada, I see their claim markers everywhere around here, especially GSSN. http://www.mohaveprospectors.com/ http://www.goldsearchersnv.com/ Jen Edited August 2, 2017 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
