How are they about ATV's there, I read somewhere that there is 13+ miles of creek and washouts to explore.

Where is that in relation to Lynx Lake.

I am not 100% set on where we go, there just seemed to be quite a bit of information on that area. We are driving from northwest Arkansas and according to Google maps it is going to take just under 20 hours to get there. I am open to suggestions on better places to try.

To be honest if I find one little fleck of gold I will be happy. My grandpa on the other hand may be a little harder to please, his last trip to Alaska produced a little over 4oz. with just a metal detector and a wash pan. I have a Minelab 705 with a 6" HF coil and he has a White's GMT so we just have low end detectors.

So if I read that right it's $50 per year per person to be able to detect on their claims. We are planning a 10 day trip of which 2 of it will be driving so I figure a good 7 days of detecting and we are planning on the third week of April. I know a lot of you guys are familiar with the area so I would appreciate any and all advice. We plan on bringing a nice wall tent with a heat stove to stay in and a couple of atv's to get around on, my grandpa is 81 years old.

I am starting to plan a trip to take my grandpa to do some metal detecting for gold and I think I have decided that Rich Hill is where I want to take him. I have several questions as we are both pretty new to this. 1. Is the GPAA the best association to join to get access to that land. 2. Do they allow ATV's, it is a 20 hour drive for us and I don't want to pull them the whole way and not be able to use them. 3. Do they allow open carry firearms.
