There is a need for here for another source of news from Indiana's prospectors, feel free to email me with your input at goldminer1966@yahoo.com
I'm looking for input. I want to list favorite places to go, who to talk to and where the gold is. Anyone who wants to contribute information is welcome. Send me your pics too. I'll create pages for local clubs and organizations. This will hopefully become a place to visit and know you're in good company!
Places to visit while you wait:
Outings and upcoming events!
Be sure checkout Freedom under Fire ! This affects all prospectors in Indiana. It also affects Rockhounds, Fossil Hunters, Rock Collectors/ Amateur Geologist and would be "good-deed doers". Click here for the latest news.
Morgan-Monroe State Forest/ Yellowwood State Forest
It's almost spring again and that means permits if you like to prospect the State Forests. Remember you need to have them on you if you're stopped. Chances are you won't be, I have never seen anyone while I was "on the creek bank". Then again if you're a mayhem magnet then you might want to laminate yours!
I have always had good luck in MMSF. You have to go deep back up the trail to find where the gold is hiding. Also keep your eyes peeled around the creek bed and any fallen logs or brush piles as this is where Morgan-monroe Copperheads and Rattlesnakes like to hang out. Cabela's sells a rubber, scent-lock snake boot for around $70. It might be worth the investment if your heading to Deadman Hollow.
1/18/08 - I got my permit today with no problems.
Contact the Forestry office by email at: morgansf@dnr.IN.gov

Ok,..so I'm letting out one of my secrets. Owen-Putnam State Forest is a great place to prospect if you love bedrock! I especially like Rattlesnake Creek. I have found plenty of flour gold and some small course flakes too! Just remember you need a permit for Owen-Putnam SF also. You can contact them at :

Editorials
Got something to say? Send it to me and I'll post it here. Sometimes it feels better to relieve your frustrations ( gold fever or other) by sharing what's on your mind! Are you a GPAA supporter? Do you feel let down by national leadership in the GPAA? Lets hear from you.
5-15-08 Sorry for not keeping up with this site. I'll do a better job. Besides working in a manufacturing plant in Plainfield, I am also a locally licensed Minister. This has it's challenges too. I don't always get to the creek when the gettin' is good! haha! But Yes, I'll try to keep this up better. Sorry again!
