Hello John,
Yes, just as you round the bend,there's a sign nailed on an oak tree that does say "LDMA Property".It's about 75-100 yards before you see the building.It's on the left.Many times, you'll see dredges and mucho motorhomes !
I would like to get a back-pack dredge.For sampling.
For now, have to wait and see IF my federal unemployment kicks in.Sorta gettin strapped for now.Don't know when we can get out again.
OK,I'll head over to the GPAA site.
Thanks John !

I'm in Reno and your talking just down I-80 from me.

Hey guys,
I live in the Sonoma/Napa area and would like to hook up with a capable crew for some major gold hunting. I already have an invite on a week worth of prospecting this spring up in the trinity area but it became real obvious awfully fast that the main interests of the other members of the group involve sitting on the bank sucking suds while I'm working the dredge all day. No thanks. Never before 7…AM. I've got a Toyota 2WD, a MXT detector and would be willing to flip the bill on an extra dredge & panning supplies. Upfront, I'm new to prospecting but am willing and able to learn from those in the know. I'm going to start hitting the BLM to find out on the where’s and if's & how to’s for potential sites. Obviously, I can solo and learn as I go but there are definite advantages from sage experience. I don’t know how many of you good folks have hooked up but if there’s a crew short a man or someone willing to take on a journeyman give me a hoot.
