Thanks for the invite Bunk . I've never been to Arizona . But I would like to spend a month or two out there. Not likely to make your shindig , but still want to go there one day .

When ever you get out this way, I would be glad to show you around!

I have been planning on a trip to AZ this year anyway, I want to spend my vacation/tourist dollars there as my way of supporting Arizona's illegal alien and anti drug smuggling cause.

Hopefully my schedule will allow me to meet up with you at the rendezvous!

Go for the gold!

I'd love to go aswell. Nugget shooting is my favorite thing to do as far as gold getting, kinda like hunting, and I read Arizona is the place to go. I detect like crazy in NC with my goldmaster but never find anything of size of course as yet.

Bunk, my 2007 copy of MS Trips and Streets cannot find a Gold Basin, AZ. Is there a more formal name?

Bill, Gold Basin is on the E. flank of the White Hills in NW. AZ. This is about 50 N. of Kingman, AZ.
Try looking up Meadview, AZ. Meadview is a little to the E. of Gold Basin. Hope this helps.

Looks like I will be able to make it out after all!

Will there be a water source for high bankin' or would I need to recirculate the water?
Or would a dry washer be best? Of course I'll also bring my GM2 for nugget shootin'
and my gasoline powered wet or dry vac for crevicing.

I am coming out from Indiana and planning on prospecting AZ. for a couple of weeks so I should be able to make the prospector rendezvous weekend at Gold basin with no problem.

OK, We have 140 prizes so far, silver coins, gold nuggets, meteorites, and other real cool stuff! Bring your metal detector and come out and win some of these prizes. A great week end will be had by all!

I think I will make it, Bunk. Gold Basin is on my "To Do" list. Planning on being over at the LDMA camp at Duisenburg, CA right after. Bunk, you close enough to Gold Basin to do "day trips" ?

Terry,
GB is at least a overniter for me but I do some time earmarked for GB later this season. Rich Hill, on the other hand is a easy day trip. I plan on spending a lot of time at the "Hill" later this fall and winter. Glad you are going to make the GB outing, look foward to meeting you!

I will have a sign-in/liability release that needs to be signed by ALL that are in on the coin hunt.

WOW, Where do I start! A good time was had by all and lots of nuggets were found, at least 20 that I know of including a few REAL nice ones. Meteorites too, I found my second, 116 grams! The weather was a little windy but we did have few real nice days, calm and warm temps. As allways, folks jumped in and helped out when and where needed. THANKS guys and gals!!
The coin hunt was a success although we did make some mistakes everyone went away happy. This was the first time Frank and I have ram rodded a big outing and we both learned a lot. The #1 prize, an X terra30, donated by Rob's Detector Sales, was won, by Mike C, congrats Mike!
I really want to thank all that donated prizes and effort to make this a really great outing!!
I will add more and pics later, I need to get the Mothership and the Great Pumpkin cleaned up and ready for the next adventure. Also, we had one winner of one of Uncle Rons gold maps that did not get on the list to be sent this map, if it was you, send me a PM and we will get that out to you.
Thanks a bunch to all that joined in on this adventure, we will do this again!

Hey Bunk I got back into town last night and will say how FANTASTIC your roundup was! I for one, will do it again. After last taliking to at the weaver (Stanton) claim. I saw Elmer Stapleton, one of the owners of the Y-Not who showed me a half ounce of gold he got. Says he averages 1/2 once per month dry-washing. Put me on the next list! TTC
