January was a busy month. While in Congress we had quite a few folks stop by for a day prospecting or just a visit. Folks from Indiana, Nevada, New York, California, Oregon and a couple more places.
Most of our visitors were folks looking for instruction and training in using their detectors. And, of course, access to gold bearing ground where their odds of finding a nugget would improve.
Several trips were also made to drywash. There was a gathering in Congress of local GPAA chapter leaders. We invited them out to our claims in the Rincon Rd. area to drywash and detect. There were 20 vehicles and ablut 35 people along. Most set up to drywash and test our ground. I’m happy to report that everyone who did so got some gold. It was a great day to be out and a good time was had by all.
We made a trip to the Kirkland area to check some ground there for a day trip. Many old mines in the area, but, we did not retrieve any nuggets there.
Quartzsite proved to be a busy place. The annual shows there had the desert just full of folks dry camping. We recovered a nugget and some drywash gold during our stay. 70 degree days made it hard to leave.
Here’s a few pics of January times:
