Re: 12v Hookahs
I am just ASSUMING, so be sure to ask others.... If you are just diving to look at what goes on under water it is probably legal, BUT the rule clearly states NO MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT is allowed for mining. If you are searching for gold I suspect it would be illegal. Stupid rules.... Have fun and I hop...

Re: We still Have a Reasonable Opportunity to be Allowed Suction Dredges and Motorized Mining on the Federal Lands!
This sure sounds like good news for the club. I wish you and the team of lawyers can finally end this insanity. I think frequently about all the gold that has accumulated since dredging ended and how much fun it would be to find some of it. You guys have put up an amazing fight and I am really proud...

Re: Floating sluice
It works! Yippee!!!!! I made a short visit to the Sluice Box claim and was able to set up my sluice and operate it for a couple of days before returning home. The river level was high and the water fast, so I did not stay long, nor did I recover much gold, but didn't expect to. I though the river cu...

Re: JUNE OUTING
June 22 & 23, 2019 according to the website. I do not know for sure, but I think it may take place on the Sluice Box claim (K-13). It would be a good idea to double-check that information. I think I have studied every rock on the claim with Google Earth while preparing for my visit there in a few da...

Re: Underwater sluicing ........
Well, crap! I was hoping you were onto something great. I'll be headed to the claim in a few days with my sluice, metal detector, and big hopes. There are moments when it just feels like defeat and it makes me think of just giving up because I know the limitations are so severe for us, but despite a...

Re: sluicing
I asked the same question recently and Dave recommended I try the Sluice Box claim (K-13) just west of Seiad Valley. I'll be there around the end of the month for about a week. I have studied the claim as much as humanly possible with Google Earth and feel like I am familiar with every rock on the s...
