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

Yes Tim you are correct! most people do their research way before they head out looking.this is the prefered way of doing things! but many people, while out hunting/walking/drive past it while going home from work/etc see a place/location and wonder about it! thats when you do your research into land ownership/claims/etc. most of the people that just go out and do their thing, while not checking ownership/land status come from the citys and they just dont think ! Thats why this Colorado Prospectors club is so good,they research the land for only club members! but doing your own research lets you know your rights while out looking/digging, and this is VERY IMPORTANT!

Thanks a bunch for your input, russau. I spent some time on the Blm site yesterday and knew I was going to have to go back to school. There sure is a lot of study involved. Being the person who has the utmost respect for others property, I want to get it right the first time. I believe Colorado Prospectors Club will aid in my education as I will learn first hand from those who do exactly prospect. Again, thank you. Tim
