I found this location in New Mexico and wanted to know if this is a good place to find gold before I claim this property that is currently for sale.

Well i guess if there is Gold ther it will be a good place................ If there is no gold there it will not be a good place............... Any place i hunt i have to check it out first then i still don't know if there is any thing there................ I can't tell by a picture......................Magnix said:Sandman said:Many say gold is where you find it.

Im not sure I understand what you're saying. I have several gold-mining claims and found gold nuggets in the rivers/streams in the Colorado/CA area for years (and its my hobby! :-)), and I decided to find something different in the desert like in New Mexico and Arizona. I have never been to NM before. I just want some opinions on this one. Thanks.

I would think the owners want to unload this property at as high a price they can get for a bunch of sand and rocks.

I saw this claim posted on eBay. I've been looking at claims as well. The other location I was looking at was the placer field in Nevada. There were 4 in the area that I was interested in. What it came down to is that I realized I would never make a trip that far, that many times, and finding gold is time consuming and usually does not pay.
I instead chose to join the GPAA and then I have access to 100s of claims. One right down from my home. This means I can go to any one of them and it cost ~$80/year. GPAA will also quit a claim if gold is no longer being found.

You're an experienced prospector with multiple claims and you are asking questions like these? Doesn't add up.
If you are buying claims from Ebay, you SERIOUSLY need to rethink your hobby.
