The AMRA (American Mining Rights Association) is having another fun and exciting outing! Free and open to the public.
Bring your friends and family! New to prospecting or curious? Let them know and they will teach you how to find gold in the desert. You keep all the gold you find!
Free camping at Slash X’s RV-friendly dry camping property or just visit for the day!
Bring everything you’ll need to have a great weekend of fun and fellowship. All claims access have been generously donated for the AMRA outing to raise funds by Route 66, Temecula Valley, High Desert Gold Diggers, and The Outlaw Prospectors for this weekend only and all the gold you find is yours to keep.

There is a new gold vacation business starting up in Nederland, CO! Gold N’ Getaways, LLC does day and overnight trips in the Colorado mountains where you can learn to pan, sluice, or dredge for gold. You’re going to need reservations, though. Check out our page for more info.
One of the biggest gold nuggets ever found was in 1858 in the hills near Ballarat, in Central Victoria, Australia. The nugget was a monstrous 69-kilograms (152-pounds)! At today’s spot price for gold that would be a little over $3,300,000-US! Though finds like that are extremely rare, there is still gold to be found. One lucky prospector recently found a 63-ounce (4.32-pounds) in the area around Ballarat. Of course, he’s not saying exactly where.
