I have a question about a claim. Has anyone had any luck asking for permission to prospect on a claim ? If yes whats the best way to contact and ask the person. Thank you.

The easiest way in is to park at the trail head his claim, and go to the open spot but as mentioned its a bad road last three miles. I panned my cons today 3 hours sluicing not one spec lol. But one mile in last week 1.5 hours sluicing came up with 6 flakes and my buddy came up with 20. I will be going to a new spot next week i will post my findings.You can park and camp on the guys claim without permission. Like if you need to hike in to the other open spot.
How do you contact them, look up the info online and then send them a letter? No way to get a phone number instead?

I went back to a spot i tried when i first started prospecting but this time i came up with 8 specs for 1 hour sluicing. This place is close to home no dirt road no claims yet, i hope to change that soon if my buddy and i come up with more color lol. We will hit the creek this Friday and see what it gives up. Thank you guy for your advice and input.
Thanks for the pics. Your posts cause me to have many questions. You say 8 flakes for the take, is that 8 pieces and a lot of flour gold or just 8 pieces total? Are you classifying the material before you run it in the sluice? Do you take a test pan of your tailings a few time during you outing to see if you are flushing any gold out? How many buckets of material are you running to get the 8 flakes. If classifying are you using a bucket mounted classifier? There may be a couple of things you can do to improve your take.

Thank you for the input goldenmojo, i am new to this gold fever stuff lol but i am learning new things from a close neighbor friend down the street. I do classify my mtr'l before i run it, this time up i forgot my pan so no testing. The 8 specs were from straight gigging and in the sluice no class, i was digging 2ft off the creek near the inside bend towards the end. The answer to how many buckets for 8 specs would be 1. My buddy will be going up with on Friday and we will put in at least 5 hours this time. I will post what we find, thanks again.
