oldies1955 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Hey all: Dad and I will be camping/detecting up at Lynx creek the 29th-30th of this month.If anyone wants to join us and camp or even just come up for a day that would be great. We will be camping on Bannie mine road down by the creek.We usually head out around 8 and get back around 3 or 4.Hopefully the fire restrictions will not be in place at that time. If they are.....no open flame I hear there is minimal trash and lots of gold in this area? Tom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahorton10 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 That's where boulder dash found those nuggets with zero trash I'm pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted May 12, 2015 Report Share Posted May 12, 2015 I dont like to get my truck dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Only serial killers keep their trucks clean. Prospectors wait until they get home, wash the dirt off into a bucket, and pan it out. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocLOL, everytime I go prospecting and drive through any mud near where I find gold I pan out some of it, I also check out any interesting rocks stuck in the tire threads just might have gold in it or be a nugget, it's all apart of sampling!!!

Old Tom Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Now that's serious stuff. I guess I'll have to scrape under my fingernails and pan that also to be even with you guys. I thought this was a fun game........................... Old Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCHAVEZMISC Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm in, I need some detector time/practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Im out for this one, I just cant risk scratching my truck. Any spots along the pavement I could go metal detecting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 ADAM - Those aren't scratches, those are called Arizona Pinstriping.That is precisely why, when I bought a pickup truck for desert use, I got a gently used Tacoma.I didn't want something brand new. I had a buddy who bought a brand new SUV for prospecting and following him out there the forst time was a nightmare. His wife made him take great big pruning loppers. Every stinking branch that hung in the way he stopped and prunned off.For about a year we had the best manicured cow path to the gold fields of anyone around, I have had the same Tacoma since 1998. I've killed a dear with it, I've rolled it, and it had to be rebuilt from the frame up. I have seen some great times with that truck. I have to Rye Patch, to Rich Hill to Quartzsite to the Mother Lode with that truck and I wouldn't trade those memories for a million dollars.I have met some of the nicest people on the face of the earth, and many of you have become my life long friends. I have prayed for you and yours and I have asked for your prayers. I have shared information and delighted in the information you have shared. I have laughed at the stories you have told, and marveled at the gold you have found. I just don't know how the heck I put a price on that.When we going to get maps to Lynx Creek?BCOT!Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 So I am reading about Lynx Creek and you can't use a detector above the high water mark, and there is a "withdrawal area". Seems like a bunch of confusing rules to me.Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahorton10 Posted May 17, 2015 Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Hey doc, the withdrawal area is like a public panning zone that can't be claimed. Hand tools and detectors only. It's not an area that's likely to produce a lot of gold because it's been mined actively for a long time. It is however a really beautiful place with ton of history and a great area to camp and bs around a fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
