Thank you again. Not so ironically I had just checked out the Roadrunner prospecting Club and saw their outrage of prices, so Google knows what I just looked at and the next thing I see is your video on prospecting clubs. Big brother is watching and tracking us. Take care bro
Ha ha , yes I agree ...its not a coinsidence
Always enjoy your show,it’s down to earth honest prospecting,with no bull love it,went to gold basin last February and been waiting for February so I can go again,I’m a Gpaa member
Thats awesome ! What a great area to nugget hunt. Consider joining the GSSN if you want a little more property to hunt...Good luck to ya !
Just the information I need at this point. Sounds like AMRA is a good place to start for me. Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you tuning in ! Yes , AMRA is a great organization , and they have some good claims you can go on from what I understand..
Good video Adam. I just renewed with the Desert Gold Diggers, and its about 40 dollars. 60 dollars for a new member if I remeber correctly!
Great club ! I found some very coarse gold on a claim they have near Oracle
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK really?!? Man, my dad and I have never had any real luck out there. Maybe 1 detectable nugget after hours and hours of placering and detecting. We've essentially abandoned our efforts.
@@ArizonaGoldHunters I was panning mine tailings. Beautiful crystaline small gold.
Ok! That might be something fun to try. Thanks for the info. Have a great weekend man. Go find some gold!
Joined the roadrunners in the early 80's, paid my membership off and became a lifetime member. Got out of mining and prospecting in the early 90's because life was just too busy. I thought when I retire I would get back out there and enjoy the claims and outdoors and not having extra bills. Several years ago they implemented a yearly maintenance fee (something like that) now I have to pay it to keep up my membership. That pissed me off, I should have been grandfathered in. I'm thinking about suing them, it's just not fair. If I would have known I would not have joined.
That doesent sound like a good situation . Thank you for your input , and for watching !
Adam, good to see you again!
You rarely get skunked so keep looking and showing us how it's done 👍
Thanks for the chat about the different clubs in AZ.
When I was there in November RRPC claims were almost every where I went.
Thanks again...
Aaron
As always , thank you for being a subscriber Aaron!
Thanks for your comments regarding AZ clubs. I'm a member of GSSN and Mojave. They have good claims and a fun group folks to hang out with. 🤠
Excellent ! And thanks again for watching !
How can one join?
@@jeannemcclung2407 go to the GPAA website. You'll find a listing of clubs in your area.
Cedar Basin? If so it is a beautiful area.... Great video...
Big Bug Mining District has claims in the Mayer area only.
Thanks for the info. Without a script I was just going off the top of my head... I had forgot about that one . Thanks for watching !
Thanks for the Club info. Enjoy your Adventures.
Thanks !
I live in the greaterville area in a small district that operated from 1880s to ww2 (copper, moly mostly). Adit on the other side of the hill my home is on! Thanks for the good advice, I love geology and mining history and prospecting seems like a good fit for me. Thanks for the recommendation!!
Excellent ! I wish you great success !
Adam absolutely very impressed with your introduction WOW! Thank you for the info.
Thanks Craig ! As you know, its hard to make videos and prospect at the same time. Happy Hunting dude !
Thanks for the info, most appreciated . . .
Thank you for watching !
Im Road Runner for life! The best and most claims in the Bradshaws. 270 claims now. My profile pic here is from one day on one of theirs. Dont forget Big Bug Mining District club as well. They are small but have some decent claims by Mayer
270 ? Wow ! Thats a lot.....Yeah its hard to remember all the clubs on short notice. I dont know anything about the Big Bug district, but im aware of them. Thank you and good luck out there !
Good Video Thanks for the recommendations.
Thanks for the comment ! best of luck !
Most of the gold I ever found was in lynx creek. I joined the RRPC back in 2008 never had much luck there claims are usually worked out. Lynx creek was much better.
Lynx is always a gold fix ....especially in good weather .. Roadrunner claims can certainly get a person on gold gold ground. Thanks for watching though!
Beautiful old cedars of that size would be a relief from the Arizona sun at times...saguaros don't provide much shade. Ha! No gold but you scored on some beautiful scenery!
If you are in Southern AZ, Sierra Vista Fort Huachuca there is the Huachuca Prospectors Association.
good to know! I believe they have some claims in " ash canyon" ? anyway , good luck out there
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK yea Ash Canyon in the Huachuca Mountains
Thanks for taking the time to do that informative video. After years of exploring abandoned mines on my own because I like the outdoors and it's a good excuse to get outside, enjoy the outdoors, etc...I was just looking at the San Domingo wash on a map the other day and I was going to head up there but it looked like a good setup to get shot for claim jumping...and I couldn't find info on it, isn't it a public use area?
Yes San Domingo is mostly all BLM ( public land) . Dont do any prospecting unless you know your not on a Federal Mining Claim....You should be fine just cruising around , hiking exploring , etc...
There is gold in the San Domingo
check
www.mylandmatters.org/Maps/ClaimsAz/GetMap
and
thediggings.com/usa/arizona/map
BEFORE doing any type of "prospecting", you can be arrested by LEO or SHOT claim owners
Thank you for the club information ... good videos!
Thank you for watching !
May not have found any yellow gold. But the footage was beautiful!
Thanks for watching !
Have you heard of Arizona Gold Group
No, are you sure thats the name ?
The Roadrunner Prospectors Clup (RRPC) has 270 active claims on more than 5500 acres.
Wow , thats a lot of claims !!
Sierra Vista area Huachuca City Prospectors great club become a member no dues they claims south of Sierra Vista!
Great country, great info. Thx.
Thanks for watching !
Dig the early footage in this vid.. really cool cedars also!... i was just out at Quartzite on saturday looking for some of our So Cal (san diego) "SPMA"club's AZ claims. (I was Ditching my Blythe Bluegrass festival) for a bit, doing claim searchs for a future trip out there.. and i came across a Road Runner Claim sign.. so when you said them.. i now know they are a club claim.. thanks for all the info.. i always look forward to your videos...
Thank you so much for watching ! Yes, roadrunners have nearly all of Diablo Canyon.
Thanks for the info.
Your Welcome , thanks for watching !
Thnks Adam for the insite on claims. I believe that the Roadrunners now have about 5500 acres under claim.😎👌👌👍👍⛏⛏
That's pretty awesome !
I know this is an older video but I am planning on going to the Prescott AZ area in Jan 2021 and I am wondering what if any clubs in that area would be good
I think theres one called the big bug association or something, although I dont know how good their claims are
@@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK ok thanks for the heads up
Great video Adam!
Thanks dude, its hard to make a video when you cant find any gold , but I came up with something.. Good luck out there !
Hello, I’m moving from Kansas to kingman Arizona. Where would be a good place in that area to nugget shoot ?
Love your screen name ! The best thing you can do is buy a cheap little book called "placer gold deposits of Arizona" It will guide you where to go ...Lots of places in your area. I would also suggest joining the GSSN whom have claims in the lake meade area.
Quartzite has a club go to miners depot and become a member lots of gold claims
I live in Mesa what would be a good for my area
I`m not sure . Look into joining a prospecting club.
tryed to join the club in illinois tryed to get ahold of some one and no one answered me ever so i just do it by myself
Bummer , but you may be better off though..thank you for watching my video
Hey Adam, thanks for the good info I'm headed to tucson permanently in a month or so and want to join a club, did you say it was the desert gold diggers ?TIA !
Yes , link is in the description.
Wait, work with others???
And give away MY LOCATIONS???
Ha ha , Its optional ..Thanks for watching !
Or Quartzite Metal Detectors
Yep , hard to remember all of them on the fly ...
AMRA is having and outing and dinner in Salome Az check it out on our web site
That should be alot of fun ! and Thanks for watching !!
and that is why you don't find trees in deserts they all been cut down for mines
Yeah, usually .....Thanks for watching !
SPMA
SPMA isnt really an Arizona based club is it ? I remember them having a couple claims in Quartzsite , and Yuma .. But it was the CA side of the river?
Yeah. I live in Yuma but use the claims near Yuma mainly and occasionally Quartzite
Don’t. They’re a rip off. If you have a 4x4 and know your geology then it’s not worth paying the annual dues. I joined the gold diggers and never went to one of their meets and just one claim because it was so damn crowded. I still have the badge on my wall I never used once.
Clubs are optional. It may be a good place to meet a prospecting buddy, or even take the guess work out of where to go....I hear ya man...
Thanks Adam, good info..!!
Thanks for watching ! Hopefully a gold video soon
Thanks for the info
Your Welcome , thanks for watching !
