Will be in AZ for about a month where can I go?

[planerie]

I will be in the Phoenix, Flagstaff, Yuma and Show Low areas for a month or so for work and will have afternoons and weekends to do some nugget hunting. Any ideas on where I can go? I would love to possibly meet a few fellow metal detectorists and do a group hunt or two while I am there. I am a Louisiana boy so I have never done the nugget hunting thing before but do have a Minelab X-Terra 705 gold pack so I should be able to find something with it. If anyone has any other info such as what other equipment I should have I would greatly appreciate it.

You might consider browsing Sub-Forums: Arizona for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state.

When are you planning to be here and when do you plan on leaving.
Check out Promack Mining in Apache Junction when you get here to phoenix.
They will help you out and there is a gold club in AJ, where I am possibly joining also.
There are no ares where I am located.
But lots just NW of Phoenix.

I will be in AZ Monday the 22nd and will be there over a month. I spoke to someone at the weaver mining district and will join them and have over 2200 acres of claims to check out. Is anyone wants to get together for a hunt let me know.

The Weaver Mining District is a VERY good choice! You will be scratching around by Rich Hill, AZ..... the heart of the AZ gold rush ('63). I will be there probably the first week of May. I will POINT to some of the best places in the area. I gaurantee you will find good gold. Lynx Creek is also nearby. LC is considered the best gold creek in AZ. Whether or not I am there, give me a PM to make sure TimC or I get you on good gold. TTC

Planerie, Use this map to get to the hole. Dig or detct above and around the hole but not in the bottom of the wash(es), as I mentioned by telephone. Good luck! Terry
