Care to share the results of an outing? Tell us where you went and feel free to post a picture of your findings. Skunk reports are valuable as well!

Stick to the title and discuss the latest on access, dredging and which mining rights groups are worthy of our support.

This is a self help area where you can ask "how to" questions or make requests or suggestions as we roll out the site.

Have a tip or learned a new trick that you wish to share with your fellow prospectors? Share it here.

Got a day off and you want to go prospecting? Post here and partner up with somebody. Meeting or Outing Carpools. Try to give as much notice as possible and where you are located!

Discuss specific products, new products regarding their performance. If you are unhappy with a specific product we all want to know about it, but, be kind about it as not to offend our sponsors. Most sponsors would make it right and these experiences should be shared as well.

Have you built or modified something that seems to work good or better? Want to ask if anybody has tried what you thinking about doing? Here's the place.....

Discuss all things metal detecting including gold prospecting, treasure hunting and tricks of the trade.

Post here your items for Sale or Trade. Also post Items wanted. If you buy or sell your item, PLEASE reply to your post that it's sold! Posts over 30-45 days old will likely get purged every so often if they lack any updates.

Part of the club's mission is to educate the public that gold can be located and recovered without harming the environment.

New to prospecting? New to the club and are afraid to post a simple question? This forum is your safe harbor from harassment. Your questions will be answered directly by experienced club members who are all (most anyway) willing to share their knowledge.

Test area for posts. Our forums allow you to insert pictures hosted on other sites like Photobucket.com. It takes a few times to get it right so here's where you can crash and burn without junking up the regular forums.

Post anything here that doesn't belong in the prospecting forums (OT or "Off topic"). No personal attacks, no cussing and no partisan politics! Any spam or advertising will be deleted.

Experience is something you get, just after you needed it. Share your prospecting, vehicle and camping safety tips with others.

As we enter 2015, there are still questions about access to our claims that were touched by the 2013 Rim Fire. The staff will post updated information as it come in. Feel free to post questions or information you have to offer if you don't see it here.

Meeting minutes and agendas will be posted here for those interested or wanting updates if they missed the meeting.
