GOLD SEARCHERS

OF SOUTHERN NEVADA

News Alerts: Some recent Outing photos are on the Event Pictures page.

Please write your Representative to support HR382 Preserve Land Freedom for Americans Act. This bill will limit Presidential ability to establish national monuments without state approval as we have recently seen happen.

Parking at future meetings:

"additional parking is available next door to the hall at the apartment complex. Please only park in the uncovered spaces. Anyone parking in the covered spaces will be ticketed and towed. The apartment manager has given permission for us to park in his parking lot as long as we don't abuse the privilege. There is also additional parking behind the hall in the small gravel lot."

Theft Notice

I have been advised to send the following information to the clubs for publication and look out for the following stolen prospecting equipment.

The equipment was stolen between 5:30 and 5:35 am Saturday morning while preparing to attend a club outing. It was stolen in a matter of a few minuets from the driveway while preparing to load the truck..

Here is a list of equipment that was stolen. Major items are a Keene 151 Dry Washer (Gray), Honda or similar 4.5 motor w/blower assembly, Gas powered Vacuum w/Echo blower mounted on a blue recovery bucket, Chicago generator, Gray back Pack loaded with Pans, Tools & supplies and Prospecting accessories. About $2500.00+ equipment.

Any member seeing any of the equipment for sale (Shops, Craig's list, Garage sales etc.) It would be greatly appreciated if you would contact Jake at prospector1@cox.net as he then can check it out . We need to rid out these thieves. A police report is on file. It is highly recommend everyone inventory and mark their equipment for identification in case of loss.

Thank You
Jake

The webmaster is looking for someone that has the time to attend the meetings and outings. Their job would be to take photos or edit photos that someone else takes. Put a story together or at lest write captions for them so others will know what is going on.

Special Notice: I recently saw a segment on the local PBS network that included an appeal for volunteers for the McCaw School of Mines in Henderson. Back when the school opened and for several years after that. Our club members made up a significant portion of the volunteers at the school.

For those of you not familiar with the program there. You should follow the link to the school and see what it is about. If you are interested in gold prospecting and gold mining this is a perfect opportunity to learn about it. It's part time, it's panning demonstrations for kids, it's geology and history. That's many of the things we do on a regular basis. Since we have so many new members over the last few years, perhaps we haven't reminded everyone enough that we need more members to participate.

If you have some spare time, please check out the school program.

Fred is looking for volunteers for the McCaw School of mines. Contact him for further info.

The information that used to be below this point has been removed, it has become a bit outdated. Please check back later for postings related to dredging, prospecting and land access issues. The International California Mining Journal is always a good source for this issue.
