    We are saddened to learn of the passing of Dean Chapman.

    He was a long time member of PCSC joining November 1967 going back to the early days when outings had thousands of people in attendance.

    He used to do very well in those coin hunting competitions using detectors of his own design.

    We understand there is a Memorial service to be held this Saturday, March 18th 10:30am. Ballroad Church of Christ, 1500 Ball Road, Anahhiem If you wish to attend,

    Our Feburary Outing will be at the Pilgrim.  A breakfast Saturday/Sunday, and lunch on Saturday available on a donation basis. The skill based hunt with gold as prizes will be held at 3:30 pm Saturday, to be followed by the Potluck and the a camp fire. 

    Two wheel drive access to the camp ground is quite easy. Access to the claims require a bit more skill.  Come and learn the finer point of gold recovery from our knowledgeable members.

    Hello all, we received this information request from an outside person and am passing it along:

    Hello,

    My name is Christopher Nelson and I am a professional photographer working on a personal project dedicated to portraits of individuals with their metal detectors out in the field. I have always been fascinated by the folks on the beach searching the sand for little treasures and decided I would like to capture their portraits in the field. 

    I have attached a recent project dedicated to individuals and their overindulgences during covid and I have attached a couple recent images of two treasure hunters here in Santa Monica who were kind enough to let me photograph them.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated in coordinating individuals who would be happy to help in my endeavour. Also I could come to your next meeting to present if that would be more convenient for you.

    Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

    Kind regards. 

    Christopher Nelson

    Hello All,

    April's Outing will be held on April 22nd. through 24th. This will be a chance to visit High Desert Gold Digger's Bull Frog and Hot Diggity claims.  Nuggets are being detected on Bull Frog. Drywashing of both claims is producing for those willing to do sampling first. So, bring water, pan, and your panning tub out to the claim.Your guests are welcome. They don't need to be a prospector. Anyone interested in the process are welcome.

    Breakfast of egges, sausage, pancakes, and coffee, will be offered Saturday and Sunday 7:00 am. Lunch of hot dogs, potato salad, chips, and coffee, on  Saturday 1:00 pm. Donations accepted to cover costs. Potluck Saturday 6:00 pm. with camp fire to following (a fire if  weather allows). Bring wood. Hunt is to be determined by the Board at Friday's meeting. 

    I expect weather to be in the 80's, but prepare by bringing plenty of hydration. Remember, electrolytes are part of being properly hydrated. A popup canopy for the diggers is recommended.

    Use the link to a map to find your way to the camping area. PLEASE NOTE:  The camping area is a quarter mile east of HWY 247 at the 63 mile marker.

    Access to camping area is easy.  For the claims, 4 wheel is recommended.  But, skillfull 2 wheelers can get access to claims. Caravan and rideshare from the camp site to the claims will be arranged. Cell coverage is spotty once leaving the camp.

    Call me with any questions or directions. Or if you have trouble accessing the link below for the map.

    From Our Club President: I'll take the time now to announce our next prospecting outing: The January outing will be held on the weekend of the 14, 15 & 16th at the Blackjack Claim. Our staging area will be the 'general store'. Old man Schaffer closed the doors to this establishment in 1938, so don't expect to pick up any supplies, but it does make a nice flat camping spot. The foundation from the store is still intact and there is an old time arrastra nearby. It takes about an hour to get from 29 Palms to the claim, and maybe more. Due to the condition of the roads, 4-wheel drive is mandatory, especially with recent road conditions being unknown. Much of the land in this area is unclaimed, so there is plenty of opportunity to prospect off claim and discover a new patch (I know of two that were found this way in the last few years.) If you have never been there and would like to be guided in, Lucky Joe plans to leave the Circle K parking lot at the East end of 29 Palms at 8:00am on Saturday morning to go to the claim. If you are new to prospecting, there will be plenty of instruction and help available. I hope many of you can make it. If you have questions, please call Joe at 562-999-2428.

    Lots of giveaways/

    American Mining Rights Association

    We are just a little over two weeks from our huge event in Barstow at Slash X, our Oktoberfest event. A huge metal detecting hunt, one of our largest raffles ever, dinner and we are even playing our movie from the previous AMRA dinner (a must see). The generous owner of the Screamer Mine has agreed to donate some more of the specimen pieces (jewelry grade) from his mine for us to also give away!

    We had a chat with Pat Keene yesterday and he donated literally a truckload of stuff for us to give away in the raffle. Thank you Keene Engineering!

    http://keeneeng.com

    Roaring Camp has donated trips to their patented, private gold camp, both a week trip and day trips. Wow, thank you for the years of support Roaring Camp!

    https://roaringcampgold.com

    Mine Lab will be there again with all the bells and whistles like two years ago. Thank you Debbie, we know you're going to rock this event like last time!

    AKAU is going to be there, and some day we plan on going to Alaska and staying with them.

    Sunday morning will start the walk 4 water rights where Jere and Shannon walk 325 miles from Barstow to Oakdale to unify the fight for water rights. We'd love everyone to cheer on this monumental walk when it begins.
