It is time for another meeting!

Everyone is welcome. No need to call ahead. Just show up and join the fun.

March 14th. The meeting will start at 9am at 26201 Ynez Rd, Temecula, CA 92591. We will be there at 8am to start setting up. You are welcome anytime after that.

Bruce Mann will be talking to us about hardrock mining. He is a wealth of information. We were lucky enough to have Bruce speak with us over a year ago. So if you missed it last year, don’t miss this meeting.

Hope to see you there.

February’s outing will be at the East Fork (GPAA Site CA-71). Some fellow TVP’ers have a spot they are going to show me where they have been finding quartz with gold inside. They crush the quartz and pan out the gold, how neat! I am looking forward to seeing this spot.

We will meet Saturday morning (2/21/2009) at 8 AM. The weather has been cold so be prepared for rain and cold. The river has got a good flow going with the recent rain, so I am looking forward to good digging. If you have been up there with us before we will meet at a place called the vortex in the past. It is just up the road from the cattle crossing bridge, it’s the parking area on the right side of the road (uphill) with a trash can.

There is good prospecting there and up stream as well. The terrain is steep so be forewarned. I will be at the February meeting on the 14th for questions or if you want to call me, I can be reached at (909) 821-0979.

Just a reminder that we are having our February meeting on Saturday the 14th.  Come and join the fun. All are welcome. If you are new to prospecting, this is the perfect place for you to come and meet lots of people that share the same interests in looking for the elusive yellow metal.

Tracy will be showing us more about the new website, how we can use it to the fullest and what we are planing for it in the future.

We meet at 9:00AM at 26201 Ynez Rd Building #102, Temecula, CA 92591

Can’t wait to see you there.

Sorry if anybody showed up at the building on January 10th for the meeting. I tried to get the news out to everyone I could, but I always seem to miss someone. I just hope if I did miss you, that you don’t take it personal.  The new website should make it a lot easier to get the news out to everyone

Our Chapter was at the San Bernardino gold show running an information booth. We were there both Saturday and Sunday. The show was a lot of fun with a full house on Saturday so you could hardly walk through the crowd some of the time. We had a lot of members show up to help with the booth and enjoy the camaraderie. More than a few Temecula Valley Prospectors went home with some kind of drawing prize (one of us even left with an all paid two week Alaska trip). It was nice to see new faces at the gold show and it is always nice to see the old faces again. I even had a man bring a sack full of tourmaline over to my booth with one piece that was green and pink and almost as big as my fist.

Thanks to all the people that came and helped out. And special thanks to Selena for bringing the magic man to our booth for some very nice slight of hand.

Hello Eager Prospectors,

We have finally got our new website up and running!

It is a bit of a work in progress so feel free to give us your ideas on how to make it better and especially what you would like to see.

We are looking for anyone who wants to write articles about prospecting trips & outings, tips on prospecting, or anything else that you think would be useful for your fellow prospectors to know.

Don’t forget to send us your prospecting pictures so we can get them on the site.

Josh
