Maps Maps Maps!

Lots of changes and updates, so make sure you visit the maps page. 

We've added a new map, Map 04, in the Wickenburg area that includes 3 new claims for you to prospect.

We've also made several updates to the other maps including updated info on entering the Rich Hill claims on Map 21, and camping information on Map 12. You can easily tell what maps are new by the date next to them. 

Under the Resources menu, you will see the Claim Maps menu. If you don't, it's because you aren't logged in. If you are having problems logging in, contact the club office for help.



New Store Items!

You can now order $50 gold bags, and bulk order $10 gold bags in quantities of 10! You have the option of paying for shipping to have them delivered straight to your door, or will call and pick them up at the next club event, or at the office on Wednesdays.

To get to the store, log in with your member account, then go to Resources -> Online Store. Not a member yet? No problem, you can sign up HERE and get access to over 280 gold rich claims!



Miner of the Month and Miner of the Year!

The 2024 Miner of the Year is...
Bill Southern (AKA the Nugget Shooter)!

Bill is a huge asset to our club. His You-Tube videos have helped many to improve their Metal Detecting skills. Bill has been our guest speaker many times and is scheduled to do so again at our March Monthly Meeting in 2025. He has also led Tag-Along events on our claims. And, if that’s not enough, he has been a major source for new member referrals to our club.

Please join us in congratulating Bill for this well deserved award.


The September Miner of the Month is...
Patrick Mathers!

    Patrick was an amazing member of the board who volunteered for every event, meeting support and office task. If you needed help, all you had to do was ask.

    He passed unexpectedly and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

    Patrick's wife Patty accepted the award from VP Les Glover.
