Chris Gholson Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 AZO PROSPECTORS OUTING 2009 Join us for the biggest prospecting event of the season!All members of this forum are cordially invited to attend the AZO Prospector’s Outing which has been scheduled for this upcoming February 21st & 22nd, 2009! We are fortunate once again to be able to host the event at the historic mining camp of Stanton, Arizona nestled at the base of the famous Rich Hill. Come and join us for special guest lectures from professional prospectors, hands-on demonstrations, free raffles, a coin hunt, and a chance to see some of the industries newest equipment. Our guest lecturers this year will include: Chris Ralph (Reno Chris), Bob Dansie (Montana Bob), John Blennert (John B.), Chris Gholson, Steve Gholson, and Keith Semanko (Lunk). Some of the topics covered will include: Indicators of Gold Mineralization, Overview of PI & VLF Detectors, Calculating Gold Content of Specimens, Mental Aspects of Prospecting, Meteorite Hunting & Identification, Understanding Search Coils, and more! Remember, the cost of admission to this outing is absolutely FREE! So, please bring your friends and family – there’s plenty for all to see and do. There is open space for dry camping on the flats south of Decision Corner, or if you prefer, accommodations are available in the nearby towns of Wickenburg, Yarnell and Prescott. Stanton is located north of Wickenburg, east of Congress, or southwest of Prescott. The area is accessible by a light-duty dirt road which is easily traversable with a 2WD vehicle. You will need to bring your own folding chair, prospecting gear, camping equipment and any food or drink. Stanton (or Rich Hill) is one of the premier goldfields in the state and there is plenty of ground to work. However, most of this ground is under claim, so if you plan on prospecting please look into one of the following clubs: GPAA, Roadrunners, Weaver Mining, or 24K. These organizations have many gold-bearing claims which you can work for a yearly membership fee. Please contact us by phone (928-777-0267) or email ([email protected]) if you have any questions about the outing. We hope to see you there!

Ridge Runner Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Chris I for one am planning on being there for the outing.To you people who has never been there you have missed lots.Chris has great people giving talks on different subjects and for you the first time nugget hunters it will help loads. O'h don't forget all the freebies that Chris gives away with drawings but you do have to be there to win.You will never see such a greater number of nugget hunters gathered in one place that you read about on the prospecting forums. Hats off to Chris for putting this on!Chuck Anders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
