AZ members check in

[kazcoro]

Hello all you AZ members of Treasure Net.

Here is a thread designed for one thing... Checking in and getting out with fellow AZ members. I see that there are a few AZ members who have gotten together and had some fun prospecting. I am kinda jealous. I, and hopefully other members from AZ also, would like to get to know our peers in person. See who like to shovel, and who like to watch shoveling happen... J/K.

I see some members are passing through the area I live in and I would love to get involved.

I will start it off. I live in Glendale, and don't have a truck. ( I have a company truck, but that is a big no-no) I have a drywasher, and a MD. I have my daughter every other weekend, and have the FEVER. I have a membership with Roadrunners. We have claims at Rich Hill, near Vulture Mine, and near Old Woman Gulch outside of Morristown. Anybody wants to set up a day of digging, let me know. I will be waiting at the end of the drive with too much equipment....

Hi guys, figured I would check in, signed up on this forum over a year ago and have not posted more than a couple times, but lots of good information here.

Anyways, a buddy and I have been out to the bumblebee area a few times and have zeroed on a couple areas, I won't say exactly where because I plan on staking a claim on some of it, but there is definitely some gold to be found out there. I had about 20 small flakes in a test pan from maybe half a bucket of material.

These days its tough to get out because we have a new member of the family so that comes first, but on slow days of work we try to head out especially with this heat wave going on.


Will be up in the area hopefully next week sometime. I would love to meet up with some of you, maybe trade some tips. Been prospecting for a few years but recently got a Gold Bug pro and I have not had a bit of luck with it.

Streamline.... Don't feel bad that you've not had any luck with your detector. There is a learning curve with all of them. Stick with it and you'll find something.

EVERYONE HERE: An Invitation.....
I'm going to be out at the claim in Greaterville from the 15th of March to the 23rd. If any of you would like to come on down and do some detecting or drywashing just let me know. If you want to run a re-circ system you'll have to bring water with you as the pond is almost dry. All I ask is that you let me know where you find what while you're there. I am thinking that this will do a couple of things. First it will give us a chance to get together and meet. Second it will give everyone a chance to find some gold and it will also help me to get the testing done quickly. There's 20 acres that need to be tested and trying to do all that with just me and Robi would take forever!

I have PDF files with maps on how to get there if you'd like to join us.

PS... Pm me your e-mail address so I can send the PDF maps. They're large files like most PDFs are and I don't want to load up the server here.

Sounds like a genuine TNet outing! Ruby and I would like to join in if we get back in time. I'd say we'd bring our digging crew too but I don't think you would have any claim left. Those boys can dig!

Did you get the claims update for your Greaterville map Jeff? Not much changed there but it all happened in your neighborhood.

 

[GarretDiggingAz]

Say it ain't so. I want my piece of pie too. Got some funds coming and would like to invest it in families future. Lol. Best would be if I could buy the land and claim it. Good luck on that though. Lol. Always dollar and a day short.

 

[Tophunt]

JC, thanks for the links, I picked 2 up from the guy in Glendale.
Cheers

 

[GarretDiggingAz]

Hey top
What did ya get? Two 15 gal drums with sealed lids or what? I'm thinking of a couple tubs to make the recirc system hold more water and have a dirt/gravel/slurry catch basin. My totes are just hitting the end. Is the material a thicker type of plastics.

 

[kazcoro]

Hey you are supposed to be getting ready. What are you doing playing on the internet?

That is funny. Get out the door already!! LOL

 

[Tophunt]

I got 2 -15 Gal drums from the guy in Glendale, blue with sealed lid 1 2" bung. They smell like soda pop and seem new, can't say if they are thin or think $16 each. The guy in AJ didn't know what was in his and I didn't want something that had oil in it. Being new to this, I trying to not make to many mistakes. Thanks for all the help and information you guys share.

I haven't gotten it Barry. Where do I go to get it? I'm still wondering what the heck is going on with the "Do it" lode claim to our north. Since their our neighbor I like to keep an on on what's going on. You had also mentioned something about a patch to fix that problem with some of the claims disappearing when ya zoom in.

Hope you and Ruby can make it back in time. Been wanting to meet up with you for a loooong time now!

You get your free claims updates by clicking on that "REGISTER" button at the top of your mapping interface. Without a registration your contact info doesn't go into the database and you don't get a link to update your claims.

The claims update fixes the problem you are having. The "Do It" was updated and you are going to crack up when you see what they did!

We are looking forward to meeting up, we miss Greaterville. I'll keep you posted.

 

[goldenIrishman]

ahhhh ok. I don't normally register software because in the past it just led to a ton of spam from software companies.

 

[AzViper]

Register Jeff, I just did and the disappearing claims are fixed. You need to be on the Greaterville map to register.

 

[Clay Diggins]

ahhhh ok. I don't normally register software because in the past it just led to a ton of spam from software companies.

Wow! Now I'm a software company?

There's just two of us Jeff. If you register the only thing you will ever get is software update notifications. Nothing else ever. We don't sell or share your information with anyone, ever.

Our software was developed by one person - me. Our software doesn't track you or tell us it's running. No automatic updates or automatic notices. FootPrints never "phones home". Just honest secure software.

You aren't required to register but how else are we going to contact you when there's an update?
