They’re at it again! WIN A 1/2LB. OF GOLD!!

The Waldo Mining District (WMD) and the Eastern Oregon Mining Association (EOMA) are giving away another . . . ONE HALF POUND OF GOLD! (6 oz. Troy)

Back in 2011-2012, EOMA/WMD held a series of Drawings with a Final Grand Prize of 1/2 Pound of Gold to help raise funds for the EOMA Legal Fund in connection with our on-going suits against the Oregon Dept. of Environmental Quality’s (DEQ) “700PM Instream Mining Permit” issued July, 2010. As successful as those Drawings were, we unfortunately need more funding to see this litigation through to the end. In order to raise the necessary funds, we are holding another series of Drawings . . . and just like before:

One lucky person will be the winner of another Half Pound of Gold!

Site Update

So I finally got around to updating all the locations. I fixed some of the broken links and such. Also, a few locations have closed since the last update. I am still listing them for a bit (in the hopes they’ll re-open), but they have been tagged as Closed.

As always, if you know of any other prospecting vacation spot, please let me know. And don’t forget to take pictures and video of your next vacation!

Thanks,
Dan

Win some Gold and Silver!

The New 49’ers Prospecting Club is trying to raise money for legal funds to fight for prospectors rights. If you would like to help out, please purchase tickets on their website. Hurry, though! The drawing is on Friday!

The Gold Bucket

So one of my buddies just bought one of these. We tried it out at his house with some gravel he brought back from N. Cal. It was catching some small gold…cause that’s all he had! LOL  Anywho, we plan on taking this bad boy out to the field and see how it does. If it works well we might just be leaving the sluices at home.

Mark Peterson has hit paydirt with a gold panning kit.

His company, Gold Rush Nugget Bucket Inc., has sold more than 2,200 kits in 14 months and allowed the 46-year-old Eugene resident to realize a lifelong dream of taking a product from concept to market.

His kit quickly developed a following in prospecting circles, garnering nearly 9,700 “likes” on Facebook, posts from customers who have struck gold using the kit, and the attention of Jim Thurber, one of the stars of the reality show “Gold Rush.” Thurber, a Portland resident, made a trip to Eugene to check it out and praised it online: “So nice to use something that works and is so easy to use!!!”

While reality TV and social media have spread word of Peterson’s kit, he has also gotten a boost from the state of Oregon and from other states that have tightened regulation on motorized prospecting equipment. This resulted in prospectors looking for alternatives, such as the Nugget Bucket.
