2007 Steak Fry: It was a dark and windy day with the threat of rain lingering but in spite of the weather, 350 members gathered in Glendale to partake of the Annual Steak Fry. Once again, volunteers made the event something to remember. 2007 Spring Picnic: We never know what the weather will be for our annual spring picnic. Last year it was hot, this year it was quite cold. Our members still enjoyed a day in the pines complete with panning and skillet throwing contests and of course - a great meal. 2007 Feb Outing: This was our largest outing in quite some time. An area was 'pushed' using a tractor then worked with metal detectors and drywashers. It was a great time of year to get out in the desert and visit with Mother Nature. 2006 Steak Fry: This is an annual event and the largest gathering we have each year. It takes many volunteers to plan and execute this event and we all have a wonderful time. 2006 Coin Shoot: Here we are at our annual coin hunt in the desert near Rich Hill. Its great fun being out of doors finding buried coins with a metal detector. 2006 August Outing: With just enough water in the creek members enjoyed a day of dredging amongst the green forest pines. Check out those smiling faces (an a bit of gold too!). 2006 Walker Days: Our members enjoyed the mountain scenery at the Annual Walker Volunteer Fire Dept. fund raiser. Walker is at the head of Lynx Creek, one of the major gold producing creeks in Arizona. It was an opportunity to support the community and promote Prospecting 2006 March Outing. This outing was the 2006 annual assessment where we get a bit of help from a backhoe to dig holes. Teams of members then work each hole to see what they can find. At the end of the outing the holes are filled and area reclaimed and the members rest. 2005 Steak Fry: Here is our annual Steak Fry held, this year, in Peoria, AZ. 2005 Coin Hunt: See photos of our annual Coin Hunt. Several events were held and fun was had by all. 2005 Spring Picnic: Our members have enjoyed a beautiful spring this year in Arizona. Before the hot weather settles in for the summer they took the opportunity to gather in the pines for the annual spring picnic. The day was filled with fun, games, good food and even some mining. 2005 April Outing: Due to the wet winter there was still water in some of the creeks. Our members headed to Turkey Creek for a bit of mining and socializing. 2005 January Outing: This outing was held near Morristown on a beautiful weekend featuring Spring-like weather. Members took advantage to see the best of the Arizona desert, and move a bit of dirt too. Rough Landing: Another unusual find made by members on our claims. Gold isn't the only thing you can find with a metal detector. One Man's Junk: A few pictures of finds made while metal detecting. Don't get discouraged. Mesa Gold Show: The annual GPAA Gold Show was held in Mesa with the RRPC hosting a booth to supply information about the club. Check out the pictures and see our volunteers in action. Gallery 1: Take a look at this unusual find one of our members made on a claim near Rich Hill. Gallery 2: Here are a few more finds made by our members including a unusual coin. |
