white oaks is beautiful , sometimes when I go there , I forget to to much prospecting , I just love it there!
But I noticed right off the get go , people keep digging in the same spot right in the wash. and nobody digs out of the wash , so we tried it over a long weekend , and guess what ? GOLD lol . the trick to working up there is to always use wet equipment , drywashers just dont work because the gold is really
small , but if you work it thru a recirculater and then run the cons thru a blue bowl you usually do very well ! I have seen some small nuggets come from there , but they were always deep and even then they wern`t very big. the largest quantity of gold I have seen in new mexico comes from the lordsburg area , about 8 miles east of Duncan arizona , never once have I gone there and got skunked ! if you check out the are , altho I don`t own anything around there now , it was I who staked the golden bell 6 , overburden , 40 mules , buddy boy , and tims tantrum in that region. all were good claims , just too far for an Okie on a weekend.

I havn`t checked white oaks in a while , but last time I did , the 80 acres running east to west just above the gpaa`s "against the wind " claim was open and available , havn`t prospected it , but I have been across it and the claim is loaded with alabaster ! has several good wash-es , but again I never sampled it , I staked the claim 80 acres running north and south , on the west side of against the wind and that is why I know about it . my claim was called "westcache " but I sold it and they let it drop , and then goldseeker re-staked it with a new name so might check both of those out .

then in Grant county , out by the duncan arizona claims , there is a LOT of open gold ground and it is awesome ! a lot of this region is open and virgin because you can`t just get out of your car and dig like these Johnny come lately weekend prospectors want to do . no , if you had a 4 wheeler or a horse , there are millions of dollars worth of gold still layin on the ground(and below the surface) here !
 I am pretty good at mulling out open and stake-able ground , if you can give me the coords of an area you are interested in , I would be glad to see what I can find.

On a side note , a lot of people don`t know this , but the cost to stake a claim is just $25 to the county and $185 to the BLM !
I don`t know why people get on that E-auction site and pay thousands for claims that the person selling has never been to !
you can stake your own for under $200 ! and it is not that hard at all !

holy cow , didn`t know that , yes , I would say that will be a game changer. glad I don`t own anything right now !
however , there is this nice little abandoned shaft just across the arizona border , might be worth the effort.
