New Claim and PNF Plan Of Operations Extension!!

New Claim

Featured News is a public facing page so I can't give you details here, so let's have a treasure hunt to find it in the members only section... just kidding... go to Resources -> Claim Maps and click on Map 8.

When you download it, you can replace the info and map pages in your map packet. No need to download the entire map packet again, now with the web site you can just download the maps that change when they change.

Plan Of Operations Extension

Prescott National Forest has extended our Plan Of Operations for another year. The paperwork is included at the end of the posted map packet, however if you already have a current map packet, your can find the extension paperwork by itself on the claim maps page. Just print it off and add it to the back of your map packet. Remember to always carry your map packet when you are prospecting on our claims!

Not the claim, but a hint of where it is


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 June Miner of the Month is...
Becky Bowland!

    Our Miner of the Month is Becky Bowland.

    She and her partner Rick Hall donated their time, fuel, and heavy equipment to help us build our new road to the backside of Rich Hill. Very generous gesture, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    Congratulations Becky!
