smiley-shocked003.gif Dang Scott, I hope your alright!! It looks like the one in the white car was the one who was injured? I am assuming that you were driving the truck, it looks like the one you had several years ago? There was no article with the photo so we have no details of what happened.

Yes she was injured (mostly chest pains) but as far as I know she is ok now...yes that is the same truck...I have had it for like 7 years now...I didn't post the article because they posted the wrong story buy here is the link http://m.yumasun.com/news/driver-injured-i...kof3NU.facebook

I stopped at a stop sign off exit 30 to Wellton...looked both ways and started to pull out when she was going down the overpass hill (tall Hill) and T-boned me.

Ok, I missed this part...the paper says the 27 year old male had a gun shot wound?!?!?!
Am I missing something here?

Came across this post while pondering a trip to AZ this winter. I've got a friend in Phoenix, so I can stay there and drag my trailer along to stay out in the field for a few days at a time. Thinking of checking out Quartzsite. Thinking of joining the local club, which has some club claims, so I can check out the local conditions and then maybe head out on my own.

Looking to head out to AZ for a couple weeks again if anyone has any good leads on a good spot/group out there.

Last year I got a 3-day pass to the Weaver mining claims. Poked around with my GBII for a bit and didn't find anything (could just be operator error). Did find some Epidote crystals. Brought out a couple buckets of classified material out of a creek bed and it had a few bits in it.

Then I went on a day-trip with the Roadrunner Prospector Club. They had a slick recirc power sluice running with a LeTrap sluice. Ran a few buckets and got a few bits; nothing exciting.

Lots of clubs in the state... and lots of gold to be had. Still looking at different clubs to join; some pretty high dollar memberships, but they also have a lot of claims in areas known to produce! Just not sure it's worth the investment to head out that way for a couple weeks a year.

Sounds like a fun time Crusty! I can understand the interest in clubs for places to prospect but just knowing they sell their memberships for access to their claims is always a red flag to me. That's one of the best things about our club is that we teach members to be able to do research in any state of interest. You can always do a bit of research on the public land near the areas you know are productive and go from there. research.gif happy112.gif

I had hoped to go to az this winter for some nuggets but this surgery took me out. If I'm lucky I'll get some time before I go back to work in March or April to do some digging around here if nothing else..
I'm usually off for the winter for about 4 months so I'm hoping to get out there maybe next winter for a bit. I can dig for a little gold around here but it's so limiting with all the snow and ice.

Maybe next year. I'd definitely like to get the lay of the land out there and spend more time poking around over the winter

I have a bud here in co that's from Prescott and he won't even talk about going back for a digging trip. He has awesome nuggets and vials full but he says there's no water and it sucks. He has all the dry washing equipment but I think he's over it. He's got other things going on in his life now and isn't interested. I should see if he'd sell his dry washing equipment!
He said he went to big bug creek and lynx creek alot.
