normmcq Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I t was suggested by Wes to refile on those claims. They were both very good claims and produced some very good gold including multi ounce nuggets. Having said that, Fred Mason and I camped right on the #1 claim and hunted both claims for several days and the adjacent areas. We were both skunked. I don't think there is much if any detectable gold left. Given the lay of the land on #1 there is a chance there is some nice gold left to be found if, there was a plan of operation and a push done. Having been involved on more than one of those operations it is a crap shoot at best. Sometimes the gold is there and maybe not.

Denny Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Thanks Norm the upper area of those would be were to dig down I know the Oregon brothers did real well when they went up top and started digging down That said you are very correct just cause it was or did have gold does not mean its for sure Is it ever without testing and drilling even then its scattered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi Norm I located the WSPA claims by searching on the Diggings website. I might give them a try sometime. What detectors were you and Fred using? Is there a list of WSPA claims somewhere, current or closed? Thank you, Chet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi Chet, Currently there are 5 club claims. All are in southern AZ. One in Greaterville south of Tucson and the other group of 4 are on the AZ/Mexico border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi Rich Thank you for the reply. Do you have the names of the claims? Chet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normmcq Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Chet Fred and I were both using GPZs. I haven't been to those claims since 2017. We lost them in 2018, I think. Norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hi Rich The Alamo claims are pretty close the border. Many years ago my son and I were hiking a trail south of Ruby. We met a ranger that was carrying a lever action 30-30. I ask him why he was carrying the rifle. He said that the trail was used by dope runners. In the conversation he stated when he came across them they would see his riffle, drop their packs and run back to the border. He also stated that if he ever saw that they were armed he would be running away. He said they didn’t pay him enough to get into a shootout. We followed him back to our car. Have a good day, Chet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Norm Sounds like my GPZ 7000 will not give me any advantage over you and Fred’s machines. Thank you, Chet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
