Newbie Claim Question Options

[Exiled Angel]

Hi everyone! My name is Barry and I am new to the forum. I have been looking around, researching and asking where and who I can, to figure out the best spot to make a claim that I can work on a regular basis. I have been pointed to the direction of the Colorado Prospector group a couple of times, so here I am! So, the rumors are, if you are looking for a good producing claim, join the Colorado Prospectors, if anyone can help you, they can! Instead of asking around anymore, and continuing to beat my head against the wall, here I am to ask you. Is joining the CP what I need? As far as what I have seen in the forum and on the site, there is a ton of info and advice! CP sure looks like a great place to be a part of.
Thanks for your time ans I look forward to your replies,
Barry

Hi Barry,

Welcome to the CP website and forums, make yourself right at home browsing the entire site. Thank you for the very kind compliments.
That's one of the best rumors I've heard in a long time......and thank you to whoever that was recomending the CP club!

Thank you for considering the CP club as one you would join too, we would all be honored to have you and your families participation in the club.
With the clubs main goal of education towards prospecting/mining and how to begin those steps.......Yes, I believe you would find the CP club very helpful in your ventures.
One of the things we concentrate on is helping club members who are interested in learning the "how to's" of claim research and filing as well as the laws/regulations that might apply to the specific ground in question. Sounds strange to some, but you must learn to research claims if one wishes to find where land is not claimed.
These begining steps can certainly cause anyone to feel like they are just banging their heads with little success. We as a collective in the club can help each other all understand these steps better and teach each other how to verify those things you hear around panning tubs or digs......is it true that......? I'm not a lawyer (whew! ), but I have read through many many gov documents over the years and still find new stuff all the time too pass along. As you have probably seen around the forum already, we try to post up valuable references for everyone to use at all times too.

One of the best things is........The club members can then seek out/find and successfully file upon open ground where ever they wish to prospect national lands.......In Colorado or other states as well. Several club members have in the past.

Plus anytime a new club member joins up, that helps support the ColoradoProspector website and keep it open to all as the great resource it continually progresses to become year after year.

Thanks again Barry and we all look forward to your future participation.
Hopefully several more club members will chime in very soon too with their input.
