I will save this info. Is there any unclaim prop. in or around that area? I hear two creeks in the area are good . I am in Alabama. Not possible to get any info. about unclaimed prop. The BLM of AZ website is so difficult to navegate. I need an old timer or guide that is willing to help us find an area. Apparently 50% of the county is public land. My brother is in El Paso and could meet. Thank you and keep in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuGlenn Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hello everyone, Rob I have a question I just received my 24kt membership packet in the mail today it doesn't say anything about coil size restrictions on the pushes is there one? Also where are the monthly meetings held?----AuGlenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 17, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hello AuGlenn, One of the newsletters talked about the coil size restriction, but not in the membership information. The coil size is limited to 11-inch and smaller (elliptical or mono) for the push weekend (Sat. & Sun.). There has been some talk about making it just the first day, but nothing has been set in stone. Most are using the Platypus 11-inch elliptical mono & DD, Coiltek Joey and Minelab smaller coils. Hope this helps,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marca.properties Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Rob, is there a charge to come visit the property? My brother and I talked today about visiting before we sign up for the year. Also, my brother and his wife have a small popup trailer. Is it possible to stay in the property for the weekend after they become members? I may come down in the summers to join the hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuGlenn Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I had thought I saw that restriction somewhere. Thanks for answering my question Rob. --AuGlenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 17, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hello Carlos and others, I know if you join the club you can stay up to 14 days under the BLM rules. I doubt anyone would bother you if you wanted to stay longer. Many members come up on the weekends and stay overnight. I pretty much do this on the dozer push dates. I would suggest you get a hold of Elly and let her know you have talked with me on the forums. I'm sure she is open to ideas. There is very little, if any open ground around Rich Hill. This is one of the richest placer deposits in the US, so there is very little open ground. Most of the ground is claimed up by clubs, private individuals, State Trust Land & Private/Patented Land. P.S. AuGlenn, you're very welcome! Hope this helps a bit,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marca.properties Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thank you Rob. One more question. How do you rate the Eureka Gold by Minelab? Any comments by anyone please. Thank you very much for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 18, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hello Carlos, You're very welcome. I should be up on the pushes late Saturday if you make it up there. I can talk with you more in depth if you make it. I added some comments about the Minelab Eureka Gold on the thread that BigEd started. Take a look at it. The Eureka is one of the best, if not the best in my opinion for the VLF gold hunting metal detectors. Talk with you later,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marca.properties Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Rob,I have not been able to find any information pretending to permits for allowing metal detecting in public lands of the BLM and US Forest Service lands. Do you know if it is permited at all? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin nuggethunting Posted January 19, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hello Carlos, You wont need any type of permit to hunt on public lands, such and BLM or Forest Land. To access, cross or hunt State Trust land you will need a permit, but you're not allowed to hunt State Trust Land even with a permit. Do not prospect on Private Land, Indian Reservations, Wildlife Refuges, Wilderness Areas or State Parks. Also, even on Public Land, someone might hold the mineral rights. You can research mineral claims using the Geocommunicator and the BLM's LR2000. Hope this helps,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marca.properties Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 You used the term hunt. Are you talking about prospecting in BLM and US Forest Service land is ok? I have visited the BLM Geocommuicator and it is hard to navegate. Is there another way to find out the active mining claims in my state other than that?Thanks.

Admin nuggethunting Posted January 20, 2008 Admin Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hello Carlos, Yes, I meant to say prospect, but I use hunt sometimes. You can prospecting or nuggethunt on BLM and Forest Land as long as the area is not claimed. All mineral claims must be marked with PVC or Rock Monuments for the claim to be valid. It's the claim owners responsibility to make sure the claim is marked property and the stakes are visible. The Geocommunicator is not the easiest to use, nor is it up to date most of the time. The BLM's LR2000 is much more accurate, but might not be up to date week to week. The best method is to visit the BLM's office and check for recent claims if needed. Hope this helps a bit,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
